You’ve come up with a quite bunch of alternatives. Maybe one thing to still point out is that the status bar can have even more items than shown on these examples.
Currently on the left there can be: battery, profile indicator, do not disturb mode, alarm.
On the right: location status, vpn, bluetooth, network connection status, flight mode, sim2 connectivity.
On worst case nearly all the items can be shown at the same time and the lists might still expand.
Any reshuffling on the order should still work on devices without a notch and the two groups with more local and connectivity settings is nice to have.
Yea, I don’t like the current clock too much but this is a tricky puzzle. Involving also volume change UI and notification banner. Having some plans for those, and once done, I’m also thinking of just making the clock bigger and detach it from the status bar.
