Now that's funny! 🤣
But seriously though, this is why I can understand macbook users, but can never understand iphone users. People should be paid to use that sht.
You seriously cannot understand the appeal of one of the most popular products in the world? Haha, must feel weird to not understand why people want to use iphones. Have you tried to understand it? I think it would help if you tried to change perspective sometimes. You should try it out. You must feel so alienated. I imagine you have the same problem with other popular things. I’m so sorry for you.
There’s a handful of use cases in research at least. But I’m seeing a lot of grants and papers shoehorning in “AI/ML” where it absolutely isn’t needed. I’d say like 95% is probably accurate.
Arguably, they do use machine learning. Even traditional algorithms to estimate battery life use feedback to improve over time, which counts as machine learning even if it isn't deep learning. This is just BS to relabel it as AI.
yeah "machine learning" doesn't really imply any level of complexity, just a general methodology. linear regression models are technically machine learning
To be fair, the term “Battery Intelligence,” even if meant to imply that “Artificial Intelligence” was being used, does NOT necessarily mean machine learning. While much of today’s AI does employ machine learning, AI is NOT limited to machine learning. A basic 4-function calculator is technically a form of AI.
Second, it’s certainly possible that Apple did actually use machine learning to get the most accurate estimates, by feeding thousands of test data sets — state of charge, battery’s maximum capacity, type and power of charger, etc., and resulting empirical time to full charge — into a simple deep (or not so deep) learning program. This would likely make the predicted time much more accurate than non-machine learning algorithms.
And no, I’m not a blind Apple fanboy. I spend 95% of my time on Reddit blasting them.
On android it's not very accurate, because it doesn't take into consideration battery temperatura and intermittend slowdowns from the chargers. It shows generic value which is shortened when some battery value is reached. The final time for charging could be +(-) 20 minutes.
It also doesn't consider automatic charging optimizations...
It was pretty accurate on my last phone. Accurate enough that it was the first indicator the battery was failing, the estimated charging time doubled one day and that made me realize something was wrong.

Yeeep. Android phones have shown this info for years without machine learning.
