BTW if you're not aware, you get battery percentage again when you pull down Control Center.

To me this is like saying that the fuel gauge on your new car is only accessible if you hit a button on your steering column, and then only for a few seconds. I use the battery gauge constantly as part of my peripheral vision :/.

Why? Obsessing over your battery gauge is not helpful and should only be done if you're doing something that you know is tremendously power-draining.

For that matter, I only occasionally glance at my fuel gauge in my car too. If it as at 3/4ths 10 minutes ago I don't need to double-check to make sure it hasn't suddenly hit empty.
