Apparently for iPhones, we know what their charge level is, but we don’t know whether they are charging. I didn’t know that was (and don’t understand why it is) a possibility, so I hadn’t considered that case in the design. Specification updated: if we know the charge level, but not that it’s charging, we should use the same icons as when it’s discharging. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power?action=diff&rev2=78&rev1=77>
Separately, we shouldn’t show a device in the menu title when we don’t know whether it’s charging or discharging, if for other things we *do* know whether they’re charging or discharging. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Title> So that’s a bug, but fixing it wouldn’t fix the missing icon by itself, just make it less prominent. It would still appear in the title if, for example, you connect an iPhone to a battery-less desktop PC. ** Changed in: indicator-power (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470080 Title: Broken icon in indicator when iphone attached Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Running wily with an iPhone 4 (but I doubt it matters which rev of iphone) attached, I see a combined battery gauge for desktop and phone in the indicator. Unfortunately the icon is broken / missing when the phone is attached, like it's missing a small version of the icon you see in system settings -> power.
