• iOS 18 introduces a new feature that warns users when they are using a slow charger.
• The battery level graph also distinguishes charging done by slow chargers with a separate color.
• iOS 18 also adds new options for setting charging limits at 85%, 90%, and 95% for iPhone users.

Along with the iPhone 16 series, Apple has also rolled out iOS 18, packed with a slew of updates. Among these is a particularly noteworthy feature for iPhone owners: a built-in warning system that alerts you when you’re using a slow charger. This new feature was first reported by 9to5Mac, with a Reddit user also sharing a screenshot showing the slow charger alert in action.

As per the report, iOS 18 has subtly transformed the way iPhones display charging information. When a slow charger is detected, the battery level graph will display an orange color, signaling that the phone isn’t charging at an optimal speed. Regular fast charging is still represented by green, as it was before.
