All models before the release of the X iPhone, had the ability to click only one button in the settings. This button had a hide or show battery percentage function. Again, this feature isn’t necessary. It was more for comfort if the battery percentage in the upper right corner of the iPhone screen could be distracting. If the user wanted to easily keep track of battery life, it was possible to turn the percentage back on.

After all the other iPhones came out, starting with the iPhone X, this feature changed a bit. Due to the fact that there is a front camera module on top of the display. From this insertion, it’s not possible to display the number of percent, this icon simply has no place. However, in spite of this, there is a possibility that on these models of iPhones there was information with the number of percent of the battery charge.
