MODERATORS
Everyone's so concerned about the percentage, why not have the numbers be how much time it has left on the charge if we're so information pilled.

Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn't want you to see how inaccurate they were.
Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.
my number only shows when i swipe down on the top menu
So, you’re number off
Circle.
Had to scroll too far to see this.
Circle is much more accurate and easier to read. Having the percentage off avoids clutter, and with circle you can tell the percentage pretty closely anyways. Batteries are good enough these days that most people don't need to plan their charging throughout the day.
How is a circle more accurate and easier to read than two digits which represent the exact value and take zero mental power to process?
