How to check battery percentage on the Apple iPhone X

0. phoneArena posted on 10 Nov 2017, 05:03

On previous iPhone models, you could easily enable battery percentage to be displayed in the status bar, but with the iPhone X, this is no longer an option. Since the so-called "ears"—the space on each side of the notch—are not big enough to accommodate for as many icons as previous iPhones, some concessions had to be made. However, if you miss knowing exactly how much juice you have left, you can still view the battery percentage on the iPhone X...

So now large area gives you less functionality, atleast this is not the case with Android.

In Android, we just look at the top of the screen ;-)

'Apple products are so much more intuitive'

Needs a whole article on how to do a basic task.

The point is it doesn’t need an article. It’s click bait.

Stop mocking at the article.

Having a notch, the iPhone X sacrificed the battery percentage.
That's a problem. Many ppl would ask to know how to see it, before to buy iPhone X

The beauty of the notch is worth sacrificing such gimmick. No big deal.

I'm failing to see how the display of the battery percentage is a gimmick.

That was sarcasm right? Or do you actually believe the notch is beautiful?!

I wonder what next article about the iPhone X will be. Maybe "How to turn on the gorgeous OLED screen of the iPhone X."

The guys that don't own an iPhone X can skip this article, except if they are dreaming about having one.

When Apple provides laughs it is for the world to enjoy. The guys that don't like it can either do something about it or STFU. But, maybe tonight they will dream about getting the $33 a month to get an iphone.

I had a dream last night that I owned one...but I woke up screaming and shaking my head in disbelief. Then I saw my trusty Nexus 6 resting peacefully on it's wireless charging cradle beside me...been awhile since I had a nightmare lol. Funny thing is the dream started out wonderful...I remember standing in line outside of the apple store full of excitement and anticipation knowing I was about to lay my hands on apple's latest and greatest device ever created. It was like Christmas Eve and anxiously waiting to open that one gift with the fanciest wrapping paper, only to realize Christmas morning that it wasn't what I was hoping for.

I can read the battery percentage on any Samsung S or A-series just by looking at the phone on a table, without even having to interact with it in any way. The power of the Always On Screen which every phone should have in 2017.

Actually that is best left to the Genius Bar. It's way too complicated for the standard user.
