That's not full, that's the battery icon. Not sure why anyone thinks its at 100% when it clearly says 65.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 16.1 Adds Battery Percentage to iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone XR, and iPhone 11 Status Bar

Kind of like profiles on the photo app, or a more sensible approach to an AOD on older devices. It's mostly about the AMOLED more than it is the refresh rate.
Agreed. I was super pissed seeing this news.
BUT .. there is no reasonable explanation for this either on the minis:

What moron decided it was a good idea to move notifications to the very bottom of the lockscreen? Anybody else livid about this?
It’s all about this battery indicator being added to phones which previously were abandoned by Apple even when XR or 11 had notch.
YES! Didn't make sense that the mini would not be able to fit it on the screen (especially the 13 mini with the smaller notch).

I’ve had a similar problem with the playback “widget” on the Lock Screen, where after I stop playing music, a blank box remains. I believe that was beta 4.
16.1 cannot come soon enough. iMessages super glitchy...Cant delete messages, sometimes messages just come through with phone number and not contact information.
So
Hmm. interesting, glad I was not the only one. Speaking of playing music app via lock screen widget iOS 16 removes the volume control Arrgh 'Whyyyyyyyyyy?!'
Yeah we should wait for Linus Torvalds to weigh in on the iOS battery indicator
Well, yes, but that's not much of a problem for me, as my thumb's always right there to hit the physical volume buttons.
This was in the 16.0 update for iPhones X, XS, 11 Pro/Max, 12/Pro/Max, and 13/Pro/Max. 16.1 adds it for iPhones XR, 11, and the 12/13 minis.
I thought that was just my phone. I asked a coworker if his did the same and he said no.
I find the UX terrible, it looks like a full battery at a glance, so I turned it off. Shame as this can be useful, I've never had such a bad implementation on any phone before, can't they just copy some Android?
On the bright side the larger lock screen battery widget is very good and usable to quickly check the situation. It shows a clear percentage and a well designed fill bar.
