While this might be appreciated by a small number technical people it would just be confusing to the overwhelming majority. The cell, wifi, and battery indicators all provide information the user can affect by moving the device or plugging it in. An indicator would not provide any actionable information to the user. Also progress bars and time estimates for tasks are typically expected but in practice very difficult to make accurate. So you could not even accurately tell the user how long they need to wait for the device to finish it's background work
- asdff 5y agoI don't see why they shouldn't include this when they include the info when it happens for a mac. When you get a new mac or it updates, you can see that spotlight is busy reindexing which explains the slowdown. I'm surprised there is not some one sentance explanation somewhere in the phone, like "processes will continue to update in the background and phone performance may be affected until this finishes" and boom, the OP article would have never been written.
