iOS 16 Battery Percentage Display Not Available on Some iPhone Models

Among the new features that come with an upgrade to iOS 16 on supported iPhones, is the new battery percent display that first showed up in an iOS 16 beta. The feature basically lets you glance at the battery’s charge status without the need to swipe down the Control Center on iPhones that have the TrueDepth camera and the display notch. Turns out that not all iPhone users can take advantage of this feature.

Apple’s iOS 16 operating system is available for a long list of supported iPhones (starting from the iPhone 8), but it turns out that not all of them will get all of the features. Key among these is the new battery percentage display that is located to the right of TrueDepth camera system, which is housed inside the display notch. It now indicates the battery percentage, which is convenient to glance at instead of swiping down the Control Center.

Apple has now indicated in a support document that not all iPhone models will support the battery percentage display feature. In its support document, Apple states that the new battery percentage display is not available on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 mini, and the more recent iPhone 13 mini as well. It does not provide any information on why it’s not possible to bring the feature to these iPhone models.

While the new battery percentage display is a welcomed feature in iOS 16, the way it displays the percentage can be a bit tricky to read as the new indicator includes the percentage inside the battery icon instead of next to it, like on past models, and in the Control Center. The icon itself remains completely filled giving users the impression that battery has not drained, until the battery drops to 20 percent after which the icon turns red, remaining partially filled.

This is very different compared to how Android smartphones display battery status, which usually have the battery icon that’s filled to indicate exactly how much battery life is left along with the percentage shown next to it.

iPhone 14 Series Confirmed to Feature 6GB of RAM Across Lineup: All Details

Apple’s iPhone 14 series — comprising the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature 6GB of RAM, as per a report. However, the type of memory used on the latest iPhone 14 series uses is currently unknown. The Cupertino-based tech giant doesn’t advertise the RAM type and capacity on its phones. The iPhone 14 Pro models were previously rumoured to feature 6GB of LPDRR5 RAM, and the non-Pro iPhone 14 models were said to sport 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM.

According to a report by MacRumors, the latest Xcode 14 beta files confirm that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are all equipped with 6GB of RAM. However, the type of RAM available on the newly launched iPhone 14 series is currently unknown.

Last year’s vanilla iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini reportedly feature 4GB of RAM, and the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are equipped 6GB of RAM. The report further highlights that all four models in the iPhone 13 series uses the LPDDR4X RAM. As previously mentioned, Apple is known for not advertising the RAM capacity and type their smartphones use.

Back in July, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were tipped to feature 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus were rumoured to be equipped with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM. A few months earlier, an analyst had stated in March that all models of the iPhone 14 lineup would feature 6GB of RAM, but the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max’s LPDDR5 memory would be up to one and a half times faster and up to 30 percent more power efficient.

However at the moment, there is no way to determine whether the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are equipped with LPDDR4X RAM, which featured on the iPhone 13 series, or whether the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature the newer, faster LPDDR5 RAM. These details are likely to emerge once teardown videos of the device are posted online.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 series during the ‘Far Out’ launch event on September 7. The iPhone 14 Pro models are powered by the latest Apple A16 Bionic SoC, and the non-Pro iPhone 14 models feature last year’s Apple A15 Bionic SoC, but with a few improvements.
