If you were annoyed by the new battery icon in iOS 16,??? ????? ????? we've got good news for you: Apple has changed it for the better.
After the advent of the notch on iPhone X, which launched in 2017, Apple (annoyingly) stopped showing the battery charge indicator icon in the top right corner, presumably due to lack of space. In iOS 16, the company brought the icon back, but it made it different, with the percentage number appearing inside of the battery icon, which was (confusingly) always drawn as full.
Now, in iOS 16.1 public beta 2, the company finally did what it should've done from the start: It changed the battery icon so that it slowly "empties" as the battery drains.
