iOS 16 and the drama of the percentage on iPhone
Enabling the percentage of remaining energy with iOS 16 is quite simple, since you just have to go to the battery section within the settings and activate the corresponding option. Still, it’s quite likely that even after you’ve enabled the option, still not really seeing the battery level and this is the problem that iPhone users have.
I’m not sure which is worse: A battery indicator that looks “full” even though the number that appears might be “20” and you can’t see it because it’s small, or a silly icon that roughly shows how full the battery is. drums.
This is what a user in the Macrumors forum thinks about this new feature of iOS 16, where the community does not stop complaining about this very fact. The truth is that a battery percentage where only the number goes down and not the icon leaves much to be desired by the Cupertino company.
Also, the icon always appears in white or black depending on the theme set. It only turns red when the percentage drops to 20% or less, although when power saving mode is enabled it turns yellow. However, this issue is the one that least worries users, and the fact that it appears full at all times is incomprehensible to a large part of the community, above all, because in iPhone widgets it does the icon appears emptyas the following Reddit post shows.

Not everything is critical
It should be clarified that there is another sector that is quite satisfied with the arrival of the battery percentage with iOS 16. Users like WinterSkiis on Twitter claim that it is simply a battery icon and that it doesn’t matter that the energy bar doesn’t decrease as long as it is readable. This is completely true, but being Apple and considering that it is a basic aspect of the feature, it is understandable that the general thoughts of the community go the other way.
People complaining about the iOS 16 battery percentage are complete losers. It’s a battery icon, if it can tell me the number in a way that doesn’t obstruct the status bar and it’s legible, then WHO CARES?!
My god, it’s just evident that some people just like to create drama.September 16, 2022 • 02:25
Regardless of this situation, Apple has not commented on the confusion generated by this option. So, for now, those who are not happy with the result of iOS 16 can only choose to disable this feature. It’s quite likely that they’ll eventually release an update that fixes this minor issue to appease the masses, but if there’s still no word on it, our advice is don’t think it’s going to be soon.
