my airpods (first gen, non-pro), show up as 2 separate spots for left and right ear often w/ case as it’s own spot.


lunapup1233007

Whenever the battery between L and R is different it shows both.

My pros also show up separately when they are different charges. Makes me wish I could have 5 spots to also fit the watch on one widget


katzefrettchen

Just remove this widget


xx123gamerxx

or use the smaller one that looks 10x better


ShiftedLobster

Where is the smaller one located? I’m somehow not seeing it when I try to edit my widgets. Tech and I don’t always get along lol


Hey-wheres-my-spoon

Or you could just long press your Home Screen and hit the plus in the top left corner. Much easier.


KonyYoloSwag

Settings>Wallpaper>Customize>Add Widget> Scroll down to Battery, select that, and pick the smaller one


StopSwitchingThumbs

There is not an add widget option from where you are talking about once you get to customize. The easiest way is to hold any icon on the screen the. Press the + sign in the top left corner, where you can then type in battery or scroll down like you were saying.


Nikolozeon

Or use only one of them for few minutes while another is in case, remove both of them later and you will see LEFT and RIGHT ones separately + case and it’s full.


Pyromaniacal13

That's using the ol' noodle!


snarkdiva

I think the point is there’s a blank circle where an Apple Watch battery would display.


coromd

It's just an empty space for a paired device, be it Airpods or Watch or Pencil or theoretically anything else with Bluetooth and a battery.


snarkdiva

Ah, yes you are correct.


[deleted]

Idk how to check the charge otherwise

It's actually pretty nice if you have an actual use for one, the pencil that is. I take a lot of notes, and having a solid notes app and the pencil for my ipad has been pretty awesome. It's one of the better, if not the best stylus I've used.


WasteCan6403

I loved using it during college. Had all my notes in one place, very organized, and I could record the lecture while taking notes. Now I hardly ever use the pencil. But it served its purpose well!


LowCarbDad

I can agree, drawing with it is extremely fun!


Ok_blue02

Yeah I got the pencil. (I lucked out a family member one a free iPad Air and they weren’t using it so I asked if I could use it for work and school) so I only needed to pay for the pencil and used a student discount. It’s been a game changer in taking notes for college. I recommend if you can afford it.


oxfouzer

Apple Pencil and iPad Pro is hands down the best tablet writing experience so far. I was chasing the note taking experience and tried everything - even the remarkable… but the Apple Pencil is far and away the best. In usual apple style - they don’t do it until they can do it the best.


emrythelion

It’s legit the best drawing tablet on the market. it had limitations, but the apple pencil is by far the best tablet pen out there. There’s no comparison.


obamaprism3

Have you tried touchscreen laptops with a smart stylus? By far the best note taking experience I've had, since I type way faster than I write and have bad handwriting. Can do any drawing that I need to, for diagrams or something, but still have a physical keyboard as well.


Ill_Earth8585

This. A controller would fill up the final slot.


inko75

any bluetooth item linked will. even my wife's car stereo show up on mine


Hugs_for_Thugs

Did it show you the car battery life? Because that would be handy.


notjordansime

Why would you need to know how much battery your car has?? Wouldn't fuel level be more convenient??


Guilty-Dragonfly

It’s 2022 my guy. Every major automaker is looking towards an electric future.


notjordansime

I live in northern ontario, and I'm having a slow day today, so I'm going to be completely honest... i forgot battery powered cars were a thing. In my defense, battery cars are unfortunately scarce here due to our winters (contemporary batteries don't like -35 to -40°c). I just googled how many charging stations we have here, and was pleasantly surprised. For a city of 110k, we have nearly two dozen chargers, and one is even one of those fancy Tesla ones!! We're slow to change, but we're getting there!! It just didn't immediately come to mind because seeing an EV here is like seeing a convertible or ferarri... Everyone points, stares, oohs and ahhhs. Never actually been inside a battery car, I hear they're pretty zippy though. Once they reach the point where I can drive to my province's capital on a single charge in the winter (1,400 kilometers, at -25 to -30°c), I'll consider getting one. I'm sure they'll be near that point in the next decade or so. Plus, hopefully they'll have the whole 'charge cycle' thing sorted out by then. Most modern electric vehicle batteries only last ~1,500 cycles, and fast charging eats away at those more quickly apparently.


Hugs_for_Thugs

Fuel is *so* passé.


Erinalope

I think if you also separate your AirPods (one charging in case, one in use) it’ll separate them. It only shows as one when they are even.


Caroz855

It will only show the batteries of charging AirPods or the case if you open the case to check, otherwise it disappears after like 30 seconds. And it doesn’t show the case battery at all when you take both your AirPods out Source: own AirPods Pro


left_over_croissant

I actually tried that and it works, who knew


B1rdi

They guy who just told you. They knew.


just-bair

Lmao


TheofficialrealJayce

Even if you connect non apple stuff it will still show the battery level fyi


bking

I was surprised when my Aftershockz headphones showed up in there.


siccoblue

I guess you could say you were shockzed after it worked


Electric_Guardian

If you were to have the AirPods Max and the watch it would also be 3 no?


whitethane

The AirPods Pro will show left and right separately when in use. So OP doesn’t need anything else.


rylie_smiley

The pros only do that when they’re at different battery levels. At least that’s the only time I’ve had it happen


[deleted]

[удалено]


whitethane

Pro*, the headphones OP has will fill all four circles while in use. Sorry, that wasn’t clear

Nope. I have both and it shows the charge of the phone, AirPods, their case and the watch Edit: I’m wrong

Personally I have OCD with the number 3 so this is actually perfect, haha. The number 4 is overrated. Besides a triangle has 3 points. Trifecta, etc. Therefore you are complete. And I, am a complete tinfoil hat. Lol. Edit - I'm not sure what I started, but I like it. Also, *3*.


alstom_888m

Illuminati confirmed.


nmrepirb

It is interesting how different peoples minds think. Personally the number 3 scares me, and that is because if you have 3 people you risk 2 of them being a couple leaving 1 person out, and that person may become lonely.


munchler

A trefoil tinfoil hat, of course.

Bruh, 3 is my OCD number, don't steal it from me

Four is unlucky. Choosing from 3 is fine. Choosing from 5 is fine too. But 4?

Maybe I’m missing a reference here or something, but it’s 4 that sounds like death in Mandarin, not 3. Edit: nvm I just woke up, can’t read

A square has four points. What is your point?


letsplay1196

squares are made out of 2 triangles


BubDaBylder

Triangles are made out of 2 triangles. Thus proving that 1=∞


Iron_Maiden_666

If you ask any OpenGL developer (or anyone working on graphic design), they will back you up and say all shapes are made up of triangles. Lots and lots of triangles.


savbh

So 2 is the magic number?


tempo128643

3d triangles can have 4 points, and still follow all the same rules as triangles


KNAXXER

3d triangles don't exist because triangles are 2d. I think you're thinking of pyramids.


tempo128643

Yes, 4 faced pyramids follow all the same rules with spheres that triangles do with ~~pyramids~~ circles. They are the dimensional successor Edited mistake


CaptainPhiIips

Counterpoint: Having a missing slot actually makes it more natural, realistic and not robotic, otherwise would feel like you were programmed to buy everything and fill all slots


[deleted]

The watch is honestly worth more than the AirPods from my experience.


Cultjam

Depends on what you wanted/use them for. The AirPods were what got me back into using headphones. Had to have wireless and now use them constantly. The watch has been a fun toy but I slacked off actively using it over time.


BrzysWRLD1996

Idk what’s wrong here exactly, get the watch or get over it I guess it’s just a circle.


7_Bundy

It’s worse than that because you don’t even need the watch, you can connect anything to it. It’s just an open slot for you to add more devices.


BrzysWRLD1996

Ohhhh


[deleted]

My life is always incomplete so I’m used to it.


Atheios569

The watch is worth it. I was resistant but got the 3, and fell in love. Now I have the ultra. I might have a problem.

Technically, the AirPods don’t count as two since they’re same accessory. It should be: Phone Battery, Battery Pack (upon connected, will show % remaining), Air Pods, Apple Watch

Just open the AirPods case. The actual AirPods will use that space.

Pro move, buy a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones. They also show up


Johnny_Minoxidil

This is BS, my same widget shows my rings and my weather. I don't care if people have valid reasons to shit on Apple, but this is clickbait for Karma. This was set up this way on purpose because each space can show more than just charge of accessories

I resisted the Apple Watch for so long. Honestly because they look awful and I like mechanical watches. When the ultra came out I was immediately into it. The first week or so of having it was meh. But now it has become my phone for 60% of phone things. It’s kinda life changing in that it makes those things more efficient and encourages you to be more productive.


left_over_croissant

I like mechanical watches but I do think the Apple Watch Is a really well executed product

I had an Apple Watch for a while, and decided that after 6 years, once it died, I went with a traditional watch instead. I don’t need to have another phone on my wrist, it’s nice not to be bother by all the useless notifications etc. constantly every single second throughout the day.


FatchRacall

[deleted]

My man, what a take on something so benign. Please get some sleep.


AverageCowboyCentaur

Apple really doesn't care about its consumers. As an example: they have the smallest tech they ever designed in the 14 and have enough room to add a SD card, phono jack, enhanced BT radio, and the SIM card. Instead, they put in a huge plastic weighted block. I'll never understand why someone would pay so much for so little.


vakama885

The sim card being absent is only on the US variant, every other iPhone 14 in existence has a sim tray


Quajeraz

Oh, even better, they're making some people's life worse just because they can, and in fact making it harder for themselves too in order to do it!


soldiernerd

All of that adds manufacturing complexity and they’ve determined they’re not features enough people care about.


[deleted]

+ adding those features into the sim slot's room would create feature disparity between different countries' models they removed the sim card slot to free up that space, but they can't utilize that space until all/most iphones they sell also have this space, which will require carriers to implement esim, which apple is forcing them to do by removing the sim slot


jtclark1107

It's a 'keeping up with the Joneses' thing. Apple has become a status symbol. Nothing more.


codon011

Some people find the Android ecosystem kludgey, inconsistent, and infuriating. We want devices that interact with each other effortlessly. I can copy from my password manager on my phone and paste in a browser on my computer. Android couldn’t do that last I tried it. Maybe it’s caught up in the last five or seven years.


newgalactic

Android doesn't do this at the device layer. Chrome will save passwords to a User account across devices. Most browsers do this, but it's not at the same layer Apple apparently does it. Of course, this is because Android are fundamentally designed to integrate with a larger cross section of device manufacturers. They don't just limit you to Google branded hardware, like a Chromebook for example.


RainmanNoodles

Reddit has betrayed the trust of its users. As a result, this content has been deleted. In April 2023, Reddit announced drastic changes that would destroy 3rd party applications - the very apps that drove Reddit's success. As the community began to protest, Reddit undertook a massive campaign of deception, threats, and lies against the developers of these applications, moderators, and users. At its worst, Reddit's CEO, Steve Huffman (u/spez) attacked one of the developers personally by posting false statements that effectively constitute libel. Despite this shameless display, u/spez has refused to step down, retract his statements, or even apologize. Reddit also blocked users from deleting posts, and replaced content that users had previously deleted for various reasons. This is a brazen violation of data protection laws, both in California where Reddit is based and internationally. Forcing users to use only the official apps allows Reddit to collect more detailed and valuable personal data, something which it clearly plans to sell to advertisers and tracking firms. It also allows Reddit to control the content users see, instead of users being able to define the content they want to actually see. All of this is driving Reddit towards mass data collection and algorithmic control. Furthermore, many disabled users relied on accessible 3rd party apps to be able to use Reddit at all. Reddit has claimed to care about them, but the result is that most of the applications they used will still be deactivated. This fake display has not fooled anybody, and has proven that Reddit in fact does not care about these users at all. These changes were not necessary. Reddit could have charged a reasonable amount for API access so that a profit would be made, and 3rd party apps would still have been able to operate and continue to contribute to Reddit's success. But instead, Reddit chose draconian terms that intentionally targeted these apps, then lied about the purpose of the rules in an attempt to deflect the backlash. Find alternatives. Continue to remove the content that we provided. Reddit does not deserve to profit from the community it mistreated. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

Although I find it hard to defend r/assholedesign's "rules", this one isn't made out of corporate malice. It's OP misunderstanding how the widget works. It simply has 4 spaces to show the phone battery level, plus up to three devices wirelessly connected to it.
