As always, Apple users have high expectations of iOS 16. In a few days from
now, the company will preview during the WWDC 2022 keynote the future of
iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and other operating systems.
Personally, if the company finally revamps the Low Power Battery pop-up on
iOS 16, Id already be satisfied. Heres how Apple could do it.
Concept designer and Twitter user Konovalov Konstantin isnt the first and
surely wont be the last one to address an annoying UI on iOS devices: the
Low Power Battery pop-up.
Remember when receiving a call would interrupt everything youre doing on
your iPhone to decide whether to take the call or not? Or when, before iOS
13, the volume HUD was the worst? Well, its 2022, and the Low Power Battery
pop-up sucks.
If youre playing a game, writing a message, or whatever, everything will
pause due to this notification.
From day one when we learned that Apple didnt fix this with the iOS 15
preview on last years WWDC, 9to5Macs Benjamin Mayo tweeted about this
feature request make the 10% low battery alert a drop-down banner and not a
modal dialog. And hes right.
A drop-down banner would be the best way Apple could make users acknowledge
the battery on their iPhone or iPad is about to die.
The company already does that with the second-generation Apple Pencil,
AirPods, and Beats headphones. Doing the same with the Low Power Battery
pop-up would make a lot of sense.
Although theres one thing Id add that Mayo and Konovalov didnt talk
about, I do think the first drop-down alert should come in 20%.
With this clean UI, not only would people not need to stop what theyre
doing at the moment, but theyd also be well informed that their iPhones
battery might die soon.
For me, this is the feature I really want Apple to introduce with iOS 16.
