I thought 3.0 showed battery % ???

Mine shows it

But it was previously jailbroken.
 
why does apple need beefcake hardware to do something that has been done on every other iPhone?

If you were jailbroken previously, and had enabled the hack for percentage and then backed up your phone, that setting is now in your backups. Even if you weren't using the battery percentage before 3.0, enabling it now places the percentage next to the battery. Restoring from a backup enabled it for those who were jailbroken previously on a 3G. If you do not have the option to turn it on and off, you got it from a JB setting.
 
i had it JB but the % used to be within the green battery bar and i thought this is how the official apple % sign looks like? did they just copy some JB-dudes work?

Ok now look at it from Apple's point of view.

As a company, would you want to include it in new hardware to boost sales or include it on all iPhone's and not make as much money?

Think hard.

actually not being up in the clouds and being a pretty modest man, i would think about the money and sales that got me where i was and wouldnt leave them in the dust, surely the camera, compass, video and hardware boost are enough to entice a loyal customer, a percentage meter shouldve been a no brainer.
 
It's stupidly 3GS only. The 3GS has bigger features like voice control to differentiate it. Nobody's going to upgrade just for the battery meter.

It should be under Settings > General > Usage
 
hey guys... just a quick thought... if you look at the pics from the iPhone 3GS on the Apple site, none of them show the % either... so...

I found out about the %, on engadget.com, on the pictures from the review.

It doesn't matter, it gets saved in your backup, unless you start over fresh and you do not restore your data, it will come back.

On the 3G there is a switch in the About section of the phone, on every other iPhone there is not. If you have the % right now, you got it from a jailbreak option.

It is not accessible on my 2G.
