I bought a new iPhone and I’m trying to figure out *why* it’s not charging.

At first I think it was programmed to charge the battery efficiently to prevent wear.
I’m going through the settings and this lil gem shows up. Clean energy charging? How is charging at night going to reduce the “carbon footprint”?? It would take the same amount of carbon to charge a watt during day. This is idiocy.

@Synclair Even if we assume that it really uses some clean energy with lesser carbon footprint at night time, I still can't imagine any reasonable use case for this feature: you plug your phone into a wall charger, but you do not want it to charge the battery… But you still want to keep it plugged… Why?! 🤪
