Speaking of the most interesting news about Apple’s ecosystem update recently, it is probably that it was not included in WWDC’s key iOS 16 update projects, but it has attracted domestic and foreign media coverage.The battery display function of the latest beta test version – Ahem… To be precise, it is a power display function that allows you to see the exact percentage of power without opening the control center.
Although this design did not seem to be fully praised by foreign media at first, it is obvious that many people fell in love with it at first sight and even hoped to use this interface display method on other devices. As a result, this idea was realized immediately (Bizan). Continue reading Someone pays tribute to iOS 16’s new battery percentage coming to… Mac! Report text.

Someone pays tribute to iOS 16’s new battery percentage to… Mac!
I wonder if your iPhone has recently been updated to the latest public beta version of iOS 16 Public Beta?
If so, I believe you will directly see the change in “battery power” – at least I was directly preset to turn on the latest “battery percentage direct display” interface (could it be telepathy that I like to play with new features?). Although the power base map is indeed what foreign media complained about, the part of the base map will no longer be like before. As the power decreases, the solid parts will gradually decrease. It does not look so intuitive.
But since you can choose to turn off the power display and change it to its original appearance, I believe most people won’t mind such a design change too much.
That is to say, if you know that the battery % number was originally displayed at the time when iOS was unplugged, it was actually the time when the iPhone The reason why “percentage” was removed is probably because there is relatively little space on both sides of the bangs. So in order to display information such as Wi-Fi or 4G/5G signals, Apple chose to remove the battery percentage display that was originally located next to the battery icon and took up double the space.
Recently, from MacBook Pro to the latest M2 MacBook Air, notch screens have also begun to be introduced. Although considering the current screen size of MacBook, which is basically at least over 13 inches, the left and right space is actually quite generous – it should be, the window information on the left feels a bit tight XD. However, it is obvious that many people are eager to try this display method of iOS 16.
So soon, developers of power display software dared to quickly follow up with such an interface for Mac users before Apple (like it).
According to foreign media reports, in the latest version of Batteries for Mac(It requires payment, currently priced at NT$288.5, you can consider subscribing through Setapp) You will have the option to display the battery percentage display interface provided in the latest beta version of iOS 16 on the top status bar of macOS. Mac users will also get this great feature that can save a little space in the status bar.
Although this application feels like it is only used to display battery status, you can see that it not only supports the function of displaying the power of multiple devices through widgets like iOS / iPadOS (it can also be integrated into the status bar battery button list); it can even provide customized display functions on the Touch Bar of MacBook Pro.
I believe that for friends who are very concerned about the battery status of all devices, this kind of support should be worth paying to download and use. Batteries for Mac also supports a trial period of up to 14 days, so you can use it more to see if it suits you.
