Apple's battery percentage icon returns to status bar in iOS 16 beta

The full iOS 16 update is slated to release this fall

Apple's battery percentage icon has reportedly returned to the iPhone's status bar as part of a handful of changes in its fifth beta version of iOS 16

The percentage, which was moved to the iPhone's Control Center in 2017 following the release of the iPhone X's notched display, is now written within the battery logo. 

Users with access to the beta can turn the battery percentage icon on and off in their settings.
