The new iOS 16 has been released and it has brought some noticeable changes.
New changes
According to MacRumors, “The battery icon in the status bar now displays the exact battery percent, a feature that can be toggled on in the Battery section of the Settings app.
Battery level is available on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, with the exception of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. It is also available on the iPhone X and XS, but not the iPhone 11 or the iPhone XR.
Battery percent has not been available on iPhones that have a notch for years now because of space constraints, so this is a welcome change for many iPhone users. Prior to now, checking for exact battery percentage had to be done by swiping into Control Center or using the battery widget.”
Other new features according to them are,
“New Find My Sound
When you use the “Play Sound” option in the Find My app for one of your devices, iPhone models have a new sound that plays. It’s a bit louder and it is distinct from the sound available with prior versions of iOS 16.
New Sound When Pinging iPhone from Apple Watch
When you swipe up on the Apple Watch to get to the Control Center, if you tap on the iPhone icon to ping your iPhone to locate it, you’ll hear a new sound. It is the same sound as the new Find My sound.
Lock Screen Now Playing Visualizer
The third beta of iOS 16 added a full-screen music player, and the fifth beta introduces a live mini visualizer.”
Some more new features are, Perspective Zoom, Music App, Screenshots and Emergency Call.
According to Engadget, “If you’re enrolled in the developer beta, you can add the indicator to your status bar by opening the Settings menu and navigating to the Battery section. Once there, you’ll see a new toggle labeled “Battery Percentage.” The resulting icon is slightly larger than the one you’re probably used to seeing. Additionally, if you plug your iPhone into a charger, the icon will turn green and display a lightning symbol next to the battery percentage. Conversely, it’s yellow when your iPhone is in low power mode.”
