I'll preface this by saying that while I do have a visual impairment, I have never needed to use accessibility features on my phone.
The new battery status bar icon is a disgrace. Who in their right mind thought putting small white-on-grey text was a good idea? I just plain can't read it. Especially when the battery is 20-80% and the text is in front of two different shades of grey. It's just too visually noisy, even more so when Power Saving Mode add another icon inside the battery.
Please add an option to bring back the battery gauge as white-on-black text.
Thank you.

I am colorblind and I have vision issues.. I wanted to hop on board with this post. I had to install an app called something like energy battery bar. Now I can see a visual bar on top. I can't use the horrible battery capsule.

My request would be to just have the number percent. I don't understand why that option is not available.

Yes I truly hate updates, 90 percent of them. But I'm going out of town to work for a week and thought I might as well do it and get some what used to it before I leave tomorrow. Yes please change those colors.
