For the past five years, there hasn’t been a way to espectáculo iPhone battery percentage in the status bar… for some reason
Apple released the last Monday the fifth beta version of iOS 16, which will be the next major update for the iPhone operating system. At the same time, the company introduced various novelties and improvements, including one that it seems to have revolution within the operating system.
But the originality is relatively small from revolutionary. In fact, Android users have been able to enjoy something afín on their mobile phones for over a decade.
And that means five years after depriving the option, Apple is back to giving iPhone users the possibility espectáculo remaining battery percentage in the status bar.
The battery percentage reaches the iPhone status bar
Around 2010, with the arrival of the Froyo on AndroidThere were already Android manufacturers who gave the option espectáculos the remaining battery level in the system status bar on your devices. Shortly thereafter, Android would introduce this feature natively in AOSP to reach Google plus’s Nexus and Pixel devices.
What’s most impressive is that it’s something as fácil as displaying a number in a symbol exclusive to some specific iPhone models. As they have confirmed in Mac Rumors, only the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone X and iPhone XS are coincidente with this novelty, with the exception of the “mini” models. For some reason not specified by Apple, other newer models like the iPhone 11 or the iPhone XR are not coincidente.
This means that there have been five new ones from iOS 16 to Android for a long time. Although it is for Apple, it must be said that it is the ability to view the existing battery level on the iPhoneuntil the company decided to retire it five years ago.
