The battery indicator is no longer available on your iPhone’s status bar. If you are a battery-conscious user, this change may spell doom for you – not really.

However, Apple knows that users would want to view their exact battery percentage, so they made it easy for users to view the battery percentage with a quick gesture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I don’t understand why Apple to chose to ditch the battery percentage display. I look at my battery percentage at least 80% of the time. What is iPhone’s reason for this?
A: The notch on the iPhone X takes up precious screen space and thus cutting the active area for the status bar by half. Though the battery percentage is essential, a battery indicator icon is already in place. Having two icons showing practically the same data is a waste of space. Apple opted to get rid of the numeric battery percentage indicator to give space for the other status bar icons.

A: Though your idea is a good and feasible one, there is no option to do that in the iPhone X yet. However, check this article time to time as we will keep this page up-to-date for any possible changes on the iPhone X.
