Is there a way to get an iOS device battery level from terminal when it's plugged into the computer? I've looked into ioreg and that only displays my macbook's battery.

          I was able to get this information as recently as macOS 10.14.1 using the libimobiledevice formula from Homebrew. You need to use the most recent version of the library, hence the --HEAD appended to the install command:



          $ brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice


          After that, try these commands:



          $ idevice_id --list
          <UDID>

          $ ideviceinfo -u <UDID> --simple
          DeviceName: foo's phone
          HardwareModel: D22AP
          ProductName: iPhone OS
          ProductType: iPhone10,3
          ProductVersion: 12.0

          $ ideviceinfo -u <UDID> --domain com.apple.mobile.battery
          BatteryCurrentCapacity: 43
          BatteryIsCharging: true
          ExternalChargeCapable: true
          ExternalConnected: true
          FullyCharged: false
          GasGaugeCapability: true
          HasBattery: true


          More information is available. Try ideviceinfo --help to list the additional domains you can query.

            You can use the command "cfgutil get batteryCurrentCapacity", you can get cfgutil by installing the command line tools for Apple Configurator.

            • This doesn't work unless the phone is physically connected via USB unfortunately. Also, the command takes a long time to complete (about 6 seconds on my system). I know this information is exposed somehow via WiFi (iTunes Sync protocol) because it shows up in coconutBattery. Anyone know how this is done?
