The number of people that have it on surprises me.
I’m reminded of the 24 hour news channels who love to put ultra detailed timing. If there is a press conference at 9pm they don’t just say it’s at 9pm, at noon they’ll start a 9 hour countdown.
So if you watch the news at any point that day you’ll know it’s 8:43:22 until the press conference. It’s 6:12:43 until the press conference. It’s 5:24:46 until the press conference.
Those numbers don’t mean anything.
When I started writing this comment I had 92% battery left. Now I have 91% battery left. If I ramble for too long what if it goes to 90%? At the rate it’s dropping am I going to have less than two hours of battery life left? Where is my charger?!?!
Or, I can just look at the list mostly full icon. I’m good.
Without numbers, 30 and 40 are indistinguishable. Is it time to go find a charger yet?
The difference between 21 vs 20, or 16 and 15, or 6 vs 5 is pretty big. Especially when people have battery saving features kick on at a specific percentage.
Or i can just peek at the first digit only if im not concerned?? Idk that’s probably something i do thousands of times a day, looking at data and only pulling the info you need, or even in school when i read prose more, scanning and skipping through unnecessary details to get to the relevant info quickly. I guess i never thought that some people struggle with that even when looking at two digit numbers.
Brother, my phone is almost never charged higher than 70%. I need the number to differentiate between 6% and 2%. I don’t even think about my battery until the battery saver mode prompt.
