Among many other features, Apple iOS 16 software update brings back the much-awaited battery indicator on iPhones. However, not all iOS 16 eligible iPhones will get a battery indicator in the status bar. In the supported document, Apple Says that the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini do not display the battery percentage in the status bar. The Cupertino-based company doesn’t give any reason as to why these devices don’t have battery indicators.
Apple iOS 16 Brings back the battery percentage display icon which was removed with the launch of iPhone X in 2018. The new toggle for the battery indicator can be found in Battery Options within the Settings app. It allows users to directly view the battery percentage status of the device always in the status bar. Currently, a user has to swipe down in the Control Center to view the battery level on iPhones.
As is clear now, not all iPhones who are eligible for iOS 16 will get the battery indicator feature. Here is a list of models that are getting it:
– iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
– iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max
– iPhone X, iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max
– iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
– iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
– iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone SE (3rd generation)
