iOS and iPadOS
Since unlucky13 one can no longer check a bluetooth devices battery in the statis bar, why did apple get rid of this? I think they need to bring it back.
Hi, i think that's related to the newer iPhones,sims 'the sited person the battery precentege doesn't seen on the screen. i agree with you that apple needs to return the bluetooth batery precentege for the Status Bar. for the blind people there are a Advantage that we are the battery precentage. the sited people dosen't seen the regular battery precentage.
While not as efficient as the original status bar feature, you can add a battery widget (pre-installed in iOS) to any of your Homescreens or the Today view that will give you the battery info of your iPhone plus every bluetooth device that is paired at any given time to said iphone.
I also use the widget. An other way to check the battery status of bluetooth devices is through Siri, though it does behave a little erratically. You can say something like "what's my headphone battery at?"

Good question
Hope iOS 14 will bring it back? You probably get respond about using unlucky 13. When I kept calling it people were upset that I did so.
Battery widget
You can just use the battery widget. Roomor is in IOS14 the widget will be movable.
Mabe it's related to the newer iPhones?
