It was recently revealed that iOS 16 Battery Percentage feature wouldn’t be available for a few iPhone models, including the iPhone 11, which was sad news for many. However, this is expected to change soon as Apple has worked out a way for this.

List of iPhone will Support iOS 16 Battery Percentage
Apple has just released iOS 16.1 beta to developers and this update will bring the iOS 16 battery percentage indicator to the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone 13 mini. Currently, these iPhone models don’t have the option. This information was shared by the MacRumors forums.
On the other hand, the iPhone SE, the iPhone 8, and earlier have shown the battery percentage from the very start. The “notched” iPhones were the ones that didn’t get the functionality and the battery percentage was only visible via the Control Center.

For those who don’t know, the battery percentage on iOS 16 shows the amount of battery left in the battery icon. The battery remains full until it goes below 20%, following which you will be reminded that a charge is needed.

One thing to consider is that the feature is currently a part of the iOS 16.1 beta update, which means that it will take a while to reach stable users. Nonetheless, it still is good news for people who own the aforementioned iPhones and while the feature may attract polarizing opinions, it still is a nice change.
