The current design of the status bar icons hasn't changed much since Android 5.0 Lollipop, except that Android 10 introduced options to customize them, which was cut out in Android 12.
As Mishaal Rahman ( via Android Authority) has learned, Google may introduce an updated segmented icon design in the upcoming Android 15 update. Also, in the new icons variant, the battery percentage is now displayed inside the battery icon.
In addition to the new icons, Android 15 may add a slight tactile feedback when long-pressing the quick settings tile, as well as when dragging the volume slider that appears when the volume buttons are pressed (similar feedback to the brightness slider)

First problems with Android 15 Beta 1.
• NFC is dead. The settings page is missing all items and Google Wallet requires you to enable NFC, but you obviously can't do it.
• Double headers on some settings pages.
My condolences to those who ignored the recommendation not to install the beta.

Earlier this year, I broke the news that Google is bringing back lock screen widget support in Android 15.
I now have more information: This feature is aimed at tablets, like the Pixel Tablet, and not phones.
Full details plus screenshots can be found in my latest article for Android Authority.

Android 15 Beta 1 revamps the system animation for in-app (predictive back) navigation. Here's a look at the updated animation.
The back-to-home animation is unchanged and predictive back gestures are still disabled by default, though.
