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

Number on.
Then why doesn't the phone time display seconds by default if we're all so number anxious?

Because all I need to know is if my battery looks low enough to worry about, like the gas tank gauges on most cars. Nobody needs to see the exact number of gallons or liters of fuel they have left. "Close to F great, middle fine, close to E bad" has been doing the trick for well over a century. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with people who like seeing an exact battery percentage, but it really isn't necessary.

Am a numbers guy, I know you like da number
I think the number gives a false sense of accuracy. Like using fifteen digits of pi to calculate an orbital path even though you system can't model every mass in the system and thus have way higher variance regardless.
I am numbers on, but only because I don't care enough to turn it off.
