Big relief for iPhone 11 users! Banned earlier, Apple finally brings THIS important battery benefit
When the iOS 16 update was rolled out globally, we found out something very unusual. A very important and much asked-for feature, the battery meter, was finally added back to most iPhones.

Earlier, the devices to get the battery percentage feature with the iOS 16 update included iPhone 14 series, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max; iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro,
