Apple confirmed: iPhone 11 and other models upgrade iOS 16 does not support power percentage display

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 13, after the official version of iOS 16 was launched today, Apple confirmed that some iPhone models do not support the ability to display the percentage of iPhone batteries in the status bar even if they upgrade the latest system.

In an updated support document, Apple said the percentage of new batteries is not available on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. However, Apple did not provide additional information on why these devices do not support the new feature.

CTOnews.com learned that Apple added a battery percentage display in this summer's iOS 16 beta, which can be turned on in "Settings" and "Battery", and the status bar will always show the percentage of remaining power without having to swipe down to open the control center to see it.

Although Apple has introduced the long-awaited status bar to show the percentage of power, the design given by Apple is somewhat controversial. The main reason is that the percentage of the battery is included in the icon, and even if the battery is not 100%, the white battery icon is still completely filled, which is easy for users to think that the battery is full. Until 20% or less of the battery is left, 1/5 of the icon turns red and the rest becomes translucent.
