While I was testing it yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice that the battery icon is always “full charged” and the only thing changing is the numbers. I just find it more useful to see the numbers rather than a random battery icon getting lower.

Like many of you, I was really excited about the new battery percentage icon after seeing that I could add it to my iPhone 13 Pro.

You can say that the iPhone mini can’t fit the battery percentage icon and maybe Apple doesn’t care enough about LCD models, but would it be asking for too much for the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR to also feature it? The problem with iOS 16 new battery percentage icon As of now, these are the compatible models: “It wouldn’t fit due to the notch,” or “Apple doesn’t want to make users anxious about the battery draining” – yeah – but now, with iOS 16 beta 5, Apple weirdly was able to make room for it, but, honestly, the implementation is poor.įirst of all, not all iPhones with a notch will have the new battery percentage icon. From there, we heard a lot about what were the reasons behind it. Five years ago, Apple removed the battery percentage icon when it introduced the iPhone X.
