With the release of iOS 16 earlier this month, Apple marked the return of battery percentage in its latest iPhones. The feature, which has been eagerly awaited for years, did not neglect to create controversy on social networks, especially since Apple did not preserve its old indicator appearance.
In the effect, whether your battery is 100% or only 50% charged, the indicator always showed that your battery was full, which made reading the remaining range more complicated. Fortunately, Apple finally listened to feedback from disgruntled users and redesigned the indicator in its latest update.
The battery indicator finally shows the remaining battery life correctly
After bringing the battery percentage to more iPhone models with the first beta, the second beta of the iOS 16.1 update has finally changed the look of the indicator in the upper-right corner of the taskbar. From now on, If your battery is only half full, the battery indicator will appear even if the battery is not fully charged.
However, according to those who first used the update, the indicator will not change color according to the remaining battery percentage. He could have hoped it would turn less than 50% orange, then less than 20% red.
In addition to changing the appearance of the battery indicator, the second beta of iOS 16.1 seems to fix the GPS bug on the iPhone 14 Pro. They will no longer disappear when they try to locate themselves. As a reminder, like the Apple Watch Ultra, both iPhone 14 Pro models have dual-frequency GPS support. This is iPhone receive signals from GPS satellites operating on both the old L1 frequency and the L5 frequencyThe stronger it is, the better it can pass obstacles such as buildings and trees. Therefore, the geographical location of the devices should be much more precise than other models.
