The iPhone could finally show you how long it’ll take to finish charging. Code spotted in the second iOS 18.2 beta by 9to5Mac shows a new “BatteryIntelligence” feature that will let you receive a notification with the iPhone’s estimated charging time.

In a surprise appearance on Joe Rogan’s show the day before the election, Elon Musk momentarily veered away from politics to reveal that he’s one of the top 20 Diablo 4 players in the world, a list which contains only two Americans.
