I don't really understand the functionality of the small lock screen battery widget...it looks like a set of horns around my phone. How is this exactly showing my battery capacity?

It’s a bug that’ll get fixed in a future beta. I’ve seen several examples where the circles are off centre (including mine) but yours does seem to be the most extreme example I’ve come across

This problem is caused by the font size. Adjust the size and you'll get the full ring.
I think you're right, thank you. When I set the text size to the smallest possible size under the Display and Brightness setting it makes the circle a full circle. Unfortunately that's not really usable for me. I'll have to wait for a fix I guess. I will file a bug report.

Still not showing % of battery though or is that also possible? I will stick to my third party widgets that also support third party bluetooth and Wifi devices.

I had that problem, I resolved by changing Display zoom to Standard

No need to change font size

So, still no % if you have multiple devices? I only installed the beta on my old XS Max without my Apple Watch so I see the %.

That didn't work for me. My display zoom is Standard and it still shows the wonky part circle. iPhone mini issue maybe?
Same. I have an iPhone 13 mini with the display zoom at Standard, and I was very confused by the odd small battery indicator for my AirPods or Watch.

So anybody that doesn't have a mini that has this problem? I did submit a bug report to Apple on this, hopefully it will be fixed in the next beta.
