The

Pro could come with the classic battery percentage indicator that had the percentage level and the battery icon located side-by-side in the top corner of the display, as per a report by MacRumors, based on alleged mockups of the device from a source.

The more clarity and ease you have in knowing what battery levels your phone stands at, the more comfortable you’ll be using the phone, isn’t it, considering it is the one thing in a smartphone that shouldn’t make you go through several steps. It’s like using the phone to check the time, more or less.

In most cases, you can check it by switching the display on or just by looking at the screen when it is off. Checking for the phone battery levels should be that easy too, instead of you guessing whether it is 40% or 35% or 32%.

And what has been suggested in the mockup is looking possible with the rumoured elongated pill-shaped cutout above the display, which should leave enough space for both the numeric representation of the battery, alongwith the battery level.

It just makes it more simpler than having to look at the battery percentage icon in the iOS 1 beta, which just includes just the icon (without the percentage levels) and to confirm the battery levels which you guessed, you have to go to the settings to know where exactly the battery levels stand at.

Also, since the removal of the notch from the design would leave more space,

could also experiment with shifting the cell service icon towards the left of the display when the phone is locked and keeping the notification center and the battery indicator towards the right.

Apple iPhone 12 Review – Powerful Throwback To Classic Design

Design and Build

Though the iPhone 12 looks fairly similar with the last year’s iPhone 11 from the back but give it a closer look and you will see the boxy design which will take you to a quick trip down the memory lanes back to the days of iPhone 4. The phone feels wide in hand, a bit wider than its competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S20 or the OnePlus 8 Pro.

The device is actually smaller in size than its predecessor owing to the thinned out bezels and used that extra space to shrink the size of the aluminium frame. The side rails have a matte finish which gives it an elegant look but the glass back can be a fingerprint magnet, though it shouldn’t be a problem when used with a back cover.

The display is a 6.1 inch Super Retina XDR with a screen resolution of 2,532 x 1,170 and uses OLED technology. The overall dimensions of the device are 5.78 x 2.82 x 0.29 inches and it weighs up to 164g which is significantly less than its predecessor the iPhone 11 which weighs over 190 g. The device also comes with an IP68 rating making it dust and water-resistant up to 6 metres.

On the rear, we have the dual-camera setup with the LED flash which looks exactly similar to the one present on the iPhone 11. The main sensor is a 12-megapixel shooter and the other is a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens. The front camera too is a 12-megapixel sensor.

The bottom edge houses the speaker grill and the lightning port. On the right, we have the power button and the 5-G antenna cut out. On the left, there is the sim-tray, the volume rockers and the alert slider.

Inside the box you get the phone, the Type C to lightning cable, the sim-tray ejector tool, some documentation and apple stickers and ‘NO CHARGER’ so you have to purchase one by paying some extra bucks in addition with the huge price tag of the device.
