While playing with my new iPhone 3G S, I have discovered something I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else.

By going to your Settings » General » Usage screen you can see a new option for battery percentage.

This is what you’ll get when you set it to ON -

iPhone screen showing remaining battery percentage

Unfortunately users of older iPhones do not get to see this option.

Enjoy,
