With iOS 16.1, Apple finally wants to draw a line, once and for all, on the controversy related to the display of the percentage of remaining battery on its iPhones.

Middle: the display of the remaining battery percentage. A thorn in the side that Apple intends to get rid of thanks to iOS 16.1.
Apple’s controversial choice

You should know that since the iPhone X and the arrival of the notch, iOS users had to go to the control center to access this information.

The story could have ended there. However, the way iOS 16 displayed the battery percentage has generated various criticisms. In a desire to simplify reading, Apple had seen fit not to opt for a dynamic icon. Therefore, the battery in the corner of the screen always remained charged, even if the battery was not at 100%. You had to wait to go down to 20% to see the icon turn red and only one fifth filled.
Apple corrects its mistake with iOS 16.1
It is precisely this detail that Apple is preparing to correct in iOS 16.1. As pointed out MacRumorsIn the beta version of this version of the operating system, the battery icon discharges when the iPhone battery is depleted.
