If the number weren't a fudge I would be more interested.

I use the number. I can see an argument for decreasing battery anxiety by not having an exact number displayed. It's either low, medium, or high basically using the graphic alone. I can also see how this could make the anxiety worse too though. Without seeing the number you might always think it's low. If you're worried about it anyway, this is probably more likely.
I can't stand looking at either but I prefer to have it with no number 😳
You don't have to bother yourself with pesky numbers. It's one step away from having to do math.
On iOS if you swipe down, the “full status bar” has the percentage either way
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.
Give my phone a death clock
Edit, guys its a joke, no need to freak out on details lol
No number, but a long indicator bar that has good resolution to show it go down proportionally. Works well for the EV car. Works well for the phone. Works better for my monkey brain to appear like a fuel gauge without a number.
If it's going to be a tiny icon like this then just put a number on it.
Number off is utterly useless.
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.
This is like when cars went from oil pressure and temperature gauges to "idiot" lights. One let's you see trends in situations and be prepared for maintenance, the other tells why your car broke down.
