What is your feeling on NO battery % indicator?

I kinda miss it. Kinda don’t. The X has much better battery life than my 7 did. That being said, I think in the future Apple may make it like MacOS where you can have the battery symbol there or the %.
 
I'm in the miss it camp and think it'll be back in a future IOS update. At least I hope so...
 
Miss it a little bit but not bothered by it. I think id like the battery to maybe have 4 bars inside of it to represent 25% each, maybe a nice middle ground while looking cleaner.
 
I miss it, but it’s okay since I can access in control center. However, I’m not watching it as closely and that’s not necessarily a good thing...
 
since you have 3 options to see the percentage i dont see the problem
charge your phone the unusual and the uglies way, the mid way is to bring or drag a little the ctrl centre, and the easiest way to have the widget for battery
 
I do kind of miss it just for the quickness of seeing how much juice I’ve got. But with three other ways to quickly check it, I’m coping well enough.
 
I reset my 7 Plus a couple months ago and forgot to turn the percentage back on and did not even realize it for several weeks. When I did realize it, I never bothered to turn it back on. So while it is nice to have, it certainly does not change my world to not have it on the X.
 
I never used it on my 7 Plus or the iterations prior to that. With the battery widget I can swipe to see it, or swipe down to command center and see it there.
 
I definitely prefer the percentage. I hope they add the % back when they do an update.
 
I’m hoping they add a toggle for %/icon in a future iOS update. I like percentages showing.

This is the way to do it. Think swiping from left is just so much easier than from top to bottom.
 
Poor people, who permanently need to look at their battery life percentage.:( For me: I donˋt really care!
 
No big deal. Was watching battery % too much anyway. Charges so fast with my 29watt USB-C power adapter when I see battery symbol low pop adapter on for a bit and all good.
 
The lack of percentage, doesn't really bother me, yeah it was nice when it was there, so don't get me wrong. Still its easy enough to determine the percentage by looking at the control center.
 
On my other devices, I never had % displayed on my home screen so I'm not bothered by it and I'd rather have it off. Plus it's too redundant as I can see it on my Battery widget.
 
I think a battery icon with the numbers inside would have been a good compromise, but it would also be nice to have a toggle to just completely replace the battery icon with the battery percentage instead.
 
I miss it and I really hope it's something that I will get used to so it stops bothering me.
