Didn't Apple say they're going to restrict apps' access to this information? Why does an app need to know your battery percentage anyway? They should instead respect the Low Power Mode setting. Maybe I'm at 95% but I have a long day ahead of me and have enabled Low Power Mode, so use less power - thanks.
