Apple worked tirelessly, getting every bit of processing power out of the A15 and A16 chips to accomplish this heroic feat.

I’ve accidentally thought my battery was at 100% when charging and glancing at my phone.
I dont know why Apple just didn’t put back the number and percentage instead of the battery icon.
It’s literally very very bad design to go from a battery filled icon which indicates the level, to an option with a battery icon that doesn’t indicate the level.

Very useful change. Happy that it is coming soon.
This was the exact reason I didn’t use it. I didn’t like how it appeared full no matter what the number was. Maybe I will actually use it now.
Nice! I turned on the battery percent but not seeing the level on the icon was bothering me. Glad to see Apple is tweaking this.
Go to edit your Lock Screen and long press on the battery widget. You should then get the option to change it to display the phone battery
„Feature“ is coming to older phones as well. They using the processing power of older A chips as well 😅
I'm sorry, but this is disappointing to me. How hard is to just have a number. The point of the feature is to remove visual clutter. Please don't add it back in.
There is a reason why stop signs are not black on white like all the other signs, but specifically white on red.
Counting down like some sort of drunk dyslexic to prove a point, doesn't make you look smart.
