iOS 16 Beta 5: Battery Percentage Now Displayed in iPhone Status Bar

[antiprotest]

This alone makes it the best notchOS yet.

That’s actually going to be pretty convenient since now we don’t have to get a dedicated battery widget in the new upcoming lock screens. We can use some other useful widgets instead

Exactly! Half of the widget space can now be free!

Something about that design is very distracting. I find my eyes drawn to that corner of the phone. Maybe the number's font should be different.

this feature demonstrates working from home has no impact in productivity.. way to go apple!

this feature will only be available in iphone 14 pro max premium excelence edition version at $2299 right?

Can it be turned off? I have battery anxiety and I don't want to see the percentage going down while using the device.

I hated the lack of a percentage when it first happened, but I must say, being without it these past few years has greatly reduced my battery anxiety.

Wonder if this will get shown on that big "new features" slide they show near the end of the talk every year.

 

[thadoggfather]

oh my god! I cannot believe what I am seeing.

2017 jailbroken iPhone X is calling me, I gotta go!

 

[GuruZac]

This is awesome. Finally finally finally.

 

[blairh]

Why did this take so long?!?!??!?!

Can you turn it off then it only shows the battery depleting?

 

[antiprotest]

So just when they are beginning to phase out the notch with iPhone 14 they're giving us back something they took away because of the notch.

Sadists.

 

[nfl46]

Lmao. It’s so bad this may be Top 10 on Twitter trends. We finally got a feature we’ve been wanting for years!

 

[MozMan68]

WOW! Amazing. Probably the most requested feature. I'm so happy it is back.

You called it...hah!

 

[cigz]

Yes.
It also doesn't work on Mini phones. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes..

This is just a beta version. I'm sure the polished version will be a lot crispier.

We are only the guinea pigs 🤪

Who had "overlay the battery icon with the percentage" in the pool?

Nice implementation that nobody guessed

 

[cgibson190]

Not sure which iPhone models get this feature. The 10XR that I use for testing does not have the option to turn this on in battery settings.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

You called it...hah!

I sure did. I've been begging Apple in here. I only hope to God Apple saw my comment and was like yeah... let's bring it back

 

[1557750]

Yes.

Are you kidding?! Because it’s so small, or just not working on that beta?

 

[MozMan68]

This is just a beta version. I'm sure the polished version will be a lot crispier.

Will be interesting to see if it does as I'm sure the issue of being able to see it in the first place was one of the reasons for NOT having it there.
