iOS 17 New Feature Update: Apple To Launch New App 'Grid Forecast' For Users To Know When They Are Using Clean Energy
Meanwhile, Apple has announced its first-ever carbon-neutral products in the all-new Apple Watch lineup as part of its ambitious 2030 climate goal and also ended the use of leather across all of its product lines.
San Francisco, September 14: Arriving with iOS 17, a new feature called "Grid Forecast" in the Apple Home app will show users when their electrical grid has relatively clean or less clean energy sources available. "For example, there are times when wind and solar projects produce more energy than the grid can use, leading to some of it being wasted. There are also times when electricity is being generated with lower emissions. By using electricity during these cleaner times, customers may lower the climate impact of the electricity they use at home," Apple explained.
Grid Forecast is available in the Home app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch devices running this fall's soon-to-be-released updates, with iOS 17 slated for a September 18 public launch. It is also available as an iOS widget and a watch face complication and is available in the US. Apple said that Grid Forecast uses data that combines grid, emissions, and weather information into one, easy-to-follow signal. iPhone 15 With India's Own GPS Support A Significant Move, We Plan To Make It Standard Practice: Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
