The release of iOS 11.3 introduced a feature for iPhone, termed Battery Health. Its function is to inform users about the current condition of the Li-ion cell used in their device.

This feature helped users get a rough idea of how their device would perform on a single charge and, in conjunction with Low Power Mode, extend the amount of screen on time they could extract.

Unfortunately, both Low Power Mode and Battery Health are not available on iPad; this is where third-party applications play a vital role.
