There is a battery percentage meter in 3.0, but it has not yet been enabled in any of the betas to date. This is mentioned in an Ars Technica article here.

You'll need to SSH into your iPhone to enable it. There are instructions here.

You guys sound awfully sure about things that have been known for a while about 3.0. :rolleyes:

last year before the 3g ATT (leaked) had an option for a BLACK iphone before 3g was announced

Dang, where's the new leaked pictures. those pics were posted on May 5, 2008...a month or so b4 the conference.

All we have now is the matte casing of the supposedly new iphone, which i believe is the real one.

apple is really making sure leaks of the casing aren't on the internet. usually we have spy/leak pictures around this time, now all we have is mock ups.

Looks like it's under the Usage menu.

No, it's not. I'm looking at the Usage menu right now. They obviously jailbroke and did something to make that show up.

That doesn't count. Battery percentage has been enableable via jailbreak since 1.0.

I had it enabled on my iPhone...beta 3, i believe.

you're late.

I'm not late, I'm absolutely correct. It is not a feature of 3.0. You have to hack your phone to get it.

Yep, see? You have to hack your phone to get it, thus it is not a feature of 3.0.

Ok so tethering isn't a feature eaither? It's not in the current beta but it can be enabled other ways. Just because you do not have it now does not mean that is NOT a feature

Tethering is a feature that will be accessible without hacking.

Battery percentage indicator is not.

The Battery indicator IS within the Betas, but must be 'Enabled' jailbreaking and editing one of the files. Just like Tethering must be Enabled by using a carrier file.

Think about it. It's been a hidden option since 1.0, which you could turn on if you hack your phone. Why would they turn it on now?
Click to expand...

I don't remember hearing about that being in 1.0, let alone in 2.0. Is there a link on this somewhere?

Can't is a word I use on Apple's terms. You can't do it without hacking. My point stands.

This logic is stupid. So your saying these photos are fake. These are internal testing photos not a hack.

And the percentage HAS to be real because for 1 boss prefs hasn't been released for 3.0 and winterboard doesn't work so it is a feature that hasn't been released to the public yet
