Title says all, I have yet to see a review with the battery % to show near the battery at status bar, did they remove that feature to save space? or maybe its just not toggled on. But if its totally gone i shall miss it!

I know it’s a small thing, but this is a big disappointment to me. The battery icon is terrible for actually seeing true battery %. To have to swipe down to see the % is just ridiculous. It feels like some things are taking a step back. If they couldn’t put all the features we are accustomed to in a edge to edge display, then they should have forgotten it until they could. I don’t mind the notch, but when it takes away things that are useful, I really don’t like it. Apple needs to figure this out fast.
 
I've said this before but this is going to be the big new feature on the iPhone XI Plus :p

Also, I really feel like they could just put it inside the battery icon and call it a day.
 
I was browsing through reviews of the X when I came across one that pointed out something I hadn’t thought of before:

No more battery percentage due to the notch.

RIP my good friend, RIP.

I don’t think so. But you can also enable the battery widget in the widget overview. I believe it’s also available from the home screen when you swipe left on the first home screen

My name is T Miles and your existence is freaking me out. What does the T stand for?
Wrong... I have the X and the battery no longer shows percentage. You HAVE to scroll down from top right to get to toggles to see.

And there is no possibility to activate it in the "battery" settings?
Nope... there is no battery percentage toggle now in the battery section.

Thanks for the quick info.
 
An easy fix for this would be by turning the percentage on it would replace the battery icon instead. So same space used but at least you have a choice.
