1516: Carbon Bomb

iPhone Clean Energy Charging and Grid Control

Apple has introduced a "Clean Energy Charging" feature on iPhones that selectively charges the device when lower carbon emission electricity is available on the grid. The feature is enabled by default and has caused confusion for users in regions like Texas during extreme weather. Critics compare this to smart thermostats that allow utility companies to remotely adjust home temperatures.
