This feature alone is worth upgrading to iOS 16. It's honestly the most useful and requested feature by many. Over-rated!
It’s weird though that if you enable it, the battery bar doesn’t deplete. It’s static with the number. Maybe they have some decisions to make on how to really present it for production.

Now, was this that hard to implement in iOS 15 or 14? They should have offered this long before…
Now that this is here do you think they’ll allow customization next?
Like allow to set the text color and allow to display text only.

I highly doubt it. I think Apple will keep it simple. They might change the fonts tho making it what the UI looks like.
This feature will be great, but only if battery icon will deplete. See % and static battery icon is weird.
I hope so. I want it to always be black, at least when the battery is white or yellow. I also wish they would make it bigger to be over the icon and not squeezed into it. Hard to read even on a 13PM
Yeah, I agree... I initially was excited to hear about the addition, but seeing that the battery icon always looks "full", I'm less thrilled about it and probably wouldn't use it.
How else do you want them to handle it?
If the battery icon reduces in power, as well as displaying the percentage, the percentage would become illegible with certain backgrounds. Imagine the icon at 50%. What colour do you display the 5 digit and the 0 digit? In white? Then you’d lose the 0 against a white background.
I think this is the best compromise. It would be a hot mess any other way

Apple needs to re-align the battery percentage. OCD is kicking in.

Can be handled very well. I solved this in times, when I had Android and made custom ROMs
.Every % of battery can have its own picture (or vector). Shadow can be added etc..
Plenty of ways to do it, you lack creativity. They even have a circle battery complication on the Apple Watch.

With an Apple Watch having a bigger screen in Series 8. What if we get a permanent battery indicator for the watchOS? 😲
Now I can’t unsee this 😳Apple needs to re-align the battery percentage. OCD is kicking in.
Only phones with a notch didn't have it to my knowledge. Users without a notch e.g. iPhone SE (2020, 2022), iPhone 8 and such always had it up until iOS15.6.
I had to turn it off again. It was making me paranoid, watching the percentage drop by the minute on beta software 😅
I have to say, the latest public beta has been great for battery life, miles better than the previous version

Lucky! I already charged mine two times from below 40 % to 90% today and its already back down to 64% again
Wow, that’s not great. Took mine off the charger around 16 hours ago and it’s on 31% and I’ve used it a fair bit as well

As someone who so far really dislikes it what I really don’t get is why putting on low power mode forces it on if you have it off normally. I have a XS that’s both finicky with lightning and also due to its case maybe finicky with charging pads and nothing worst than first thing in morning seeing the battery looking full coz it’s a big yellow blob and only after realising it’s 20%
