Hi, Battery Percentage in the Status Bar it is for me little confusing becuse when you have turn on percentage you see fully charged battery always. So i turn of percenatge status bar.

Dictation not working. Siri isn’t either. Microphone button and mic icon appear but doesn’t transcribe.

I think we need to stop giving Apple credit for longevity of devices with support for new OS versions if they keep deciding to cripple certain features. They’ve been doing it for ages but lately some of the choices have been quite egregious, and nothing more than a middle finger to customers who don’t upgrade. I mean.. in iOS 15 they decided a weather animation was exclusive?

Typo on live captioning. XS has A12

Fortunately, most of these features will be available once i update to iOS 16 (first bug fix version) on my iPhone 12.

You said live captions on A12 bionic again, then said iPhone XS not included (which was included in the previous list of A12 bionic devices)

Live Captions is there on my XS:

So lifting a subject from an image, and dictation, require the A12 Bionic, which is iPhone XS and later, but the call and video live dictation requires the same A12 bionic, but doesn't include the XS? I ask, because this feature could be useful to me, as my hearing isn't the best, and I don't know if this is available.

Live Captions is available on iPhone XS as well.

As a heads up, Live Captions is currently available on iPhone XS however Apple says it requires iPhone 11, so there seems to be some mistake? The feature still seems to be in beta testing so that could be it as well.

It would have been nice to have it. Now I feel like I need to buy a 14 to keep up with the joneses 😂

Can't you just swipe down from top right to see the percentage?

Battery percentage is worthless. Over time it will only tell you the percentage to full charge which could be 80% since the battery dies slowly. No need for this function but it seems people live their lives through this. Smh.

I have an Xs Max. I was not going to update to 16 until I saw the battery percentage was coming back. Now that I see my phone isn't allowed (for reason only the bean-counters could explain), I will not. What a farce.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

The image lifting feature has been brilliant (not perfect, but will continue to improve), and the new dictation feature is excellent.

 

[Candlelight]

Ah well. Staying on iOS 15 for me then.

 

[svish]

Disappointed that certain devices are missing out on battery %.

Lifting subjects out of images is going to be fun to play around with.

 

[Westside guy]

But seriously why is the battery percentage indicator not available on iPhone 11 or XR????

Courage.

 

[Westside guy]

Disappointed that certain devices are missing out on battery %.

It's amazing that the iPhone 6 could do it, yet people are claiming these newer, larger, higher-resolution phones somehow can't.

Member when iOS releases were actually filled with new features? I member! Even a battery percentage counts as a feature these days. It appears Apple has reached its pinnacle and has lost its vision.

3 people consider battery percentage as a prominent feature of iOS16, wow. Next, I would like to present you with the no-sim tray feature. Very revolutionary, but only works in the US.

 

[Candlelight]

So have people not been able to view the % on their phone on the main screen for years? My iPhone 8 does it and I just assumed everyone else did too. Why did they remove that feature?
