Just a quick question.

Does anyone think that the Apple default battery Lock Screen widgets are useful or useless?
 
I use it to display the battery level of my AppleWatch, so yeah, I think it is useful. :)

For displaying the iPhone‘s battery level not so much, that would be a bit redundant as you have the battery icon in the status bar anyway.
 
Mainly to check charge left on APP2 buds+case, as well as the MagSafe battery pack. Otherwise the battery percentage icon gives me all I need for the phone itself.
 
I just really hate what Apple did to the upper right battery percentage icon. Why did they put the percentage numbers inside the battery level icon instead of adding it alone or just next to it???

Yes … recently discovered it can show the (non-rechargeable)battery level in my hearing aid if it’s setup in ‘hearing devices’.

Useful. It’s easy to see the power level on the AirPod case and AirPods themselves.

These. But sub hearing aid with "3rd party BT buds/earphones/etc". Keep the four across Widget on the Today Screen for easy access and to not clutter up Home or Lock Screens.
