iOS 16 was released on Monday, and with it came a novelty that those who have an iPhone with Face ID have long desired. This is because since 2017, Apple has removed the ability to display the battery from the status bar.
But unfortunately for some users, this feature did not reach all expected models. This is not included in models like the newer iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 minibut also did not reach iPhone 11 and iPhone XR.
But those who have these models can now breathe a sigh of relief. As reported by those who have already installed the beta version of iOS 16.1, these four smartphones will be able to activate the battery percentage in the status bar with this update.
Which Smartphones Will Have Battery Percentage in Status Bar After iOS 16.1
- iPhone 13 mini
- iPhone 12 mini
- iPhone 11
- iPhone XR
These join other models of the iPhone 14 series, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone XS and iPhone X. Status bar.
Apple’s excuse for not initially putting the battery percentage on these models would be, in the case of the Mini models, a lack of space. In the case of the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR, this can be explained by the fact that they have a lower pixel density.
In any case, many users using these forms did not have access to a feature that should always have been there. Given the pressure of complaints, Apple will also choose to return the battery percentage to the status bar on these models.
Like other models, this is an option that you can activate or deactivate as you see fit.
