Apple today released the second beta of iOS 16.1, introducing further tweaks to the battery percentage indicator that is located in the status bar.

[{"selector":"#anim-f9afe9ca-658a-4248-9467-31624305920a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-acb53bfe-51fe-409e-bc30-5e2ffd399a5f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8028b0a1-2d77-49f8-9bd3-05cdb01bd8a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-caaaa9f9-9aca-4454-a8b3-6fb6e5cb2b85","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9bd4af3-c88d-4f38-90dd-d13bede82f33","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-03b74e89-4a1d-4593-ac61-0a509c939c66 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

With today's beta, the battery level of the icon depletes as the battery depletes, providing a better visual indication of what battery level is at alongside the percentage.

If the percentage feature is enabled, you will now see the charge number as well as battery indicator that fills or depletes based on your current charge level.

Prior to the latest beta, the battery indicator in the status bar showed percent, but the battery level was static, making it sometimes difficult to determine the iPhone's charge at a glance.

The iOS 16.1 beta also brings the battery percentage to the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini, ‌iPhone‌ XR, and ‌iPhone‌ 11, devices that do not support it in ‌iOS 16‌.
