How do you show battery percentage on iPhone 11? Apple announced the device as a successor to its last year’s iPhone XR which its claim is the most popular smartphone in the world from last year at its September 2019 event.
The designs from last year are similar but Apple introduced a dual-camera system this time. The iPhone 11 would set you back by $699 and it’s the cheapest option from this year’s lineup which includes the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. It features a 6.1 inch LCD display and a front-facing notch housing the selfie camera.
Due to the notch, the status bar on the iPhone 11 remains compact and there is less room to accommodate important device information such as the battery bar, unlike older iPhone models where the status bar ran across the entire display width. So how do you show battery percentage on iPhone 11?
