My launch day iPhone 15 Pro Max still didn’t enable optimized battery charging. It sits on a wireless charging stand every night. How about yours? How long does this take to activate?

Mine is optimized. However, I always charge via cable. I do not have courage to charge it wirelessly 😊

Then you probably have the smartest iPhone out of all launch day phones :) will wait a couple more days and hope it kicks in at some point… I really don’t like that the feature does not take alarm clocks into consideration and adjusts charging accordingly…

Slightly off topic.
I have had a 13 pro max for nearly 2 years. This feature hasn’t worked for almost a year

That’s weird. Did you set your Home location in your contact card. According to Apple, optimized battery charging works best when you are either at your home or work location..

I’ve also had it work and not work seemingly arbitrarily. Again, not sure why it doesn’t just use your wake up alarm as the timer. It’s the easiest implementation.

Quite normal for a new iPhone but I don't understand why my Series 7  Watch is not getting OBC since OS 10 .
It has always continued working after different updates before .

I noticed my new phone was completely charged the last few nights when I woke up randomly in the middle of the night. I would've thought the data from my previous phone regarding optimized charging would have just moved to the new one during set up.

I think this feature uses “on-device” learning not synced anywhere
