      It’s actually very easy to have the number off and still get full functionality.

      I just made a 100 page booklet that shows each battery level graphic alongside the percentage, so when I want to check my battery level, I just pull out the book and flip back and forth until I find the right icon, and bam! I know my exact battery level in less than 5 minutes.

          Using enough power to run a house for a day (not the actual amount, don’t care) to interpret a bad graphic sounds like something Sam Altman would be proud of.

        counterpoint: these numbers are guesswork anyway. why pretend, you just want to know that it’s not red

        I don’t care until it gets to about quarter full, that’s when I check to see what actual percentage it’s at. I’m rarely on my phone enough to drain the battery on a normal day.

          Yeah, the only reason I would need the number always visible and not just visible on down-swipe would be if it ever ran out during the day. Probably would be necessary for people who stream videos a lot.
