1 percentages, signal strength bars, its all lies https://mspoweruser.com/apple-admits-to-the-iphone-lying-for...

2 real SSD warranties are actually specified in TBW.

1) This isnt a signal bar, its a smart report.

2) This field is specifically for warranties - go read the spec. All manufacturers use this in their warranty - its actually coded into the controller. They may report the value to you in TBW, but that same value is stored in the controller, which is where the percentage comes from. If you think otherwise, why dont you point me at the apple warranty that states the number of TBW.

Again, go read the spec instead of spreading FUD.
