Hey there jibran02,


We recommend using the info below to further clarify the battery percentage and your iPhone:


Find battery percentage on iPhone 13 and other models with Face ID
On iPhone 13 and other iPhone models with Face ID (iPhone X and later), the battery percentage appears in Control Center. Just swipe down from the top-right corner of your display.

With iOS 16, you can turn on the battery percentage so it appears in your status bar. Go to Settings > Battery, and turn on Battery Percentage.

Find battery percentage on other iPhone models and iPad
Battery percentage is always visible in the status bar on these devices:*
• iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
• iPhone 8 or earlier
• iPad (all models)

* If battery percentage doesn't show, go to Settings > Battery and turn on Battery Percentage. When you use Low Power Mode, the battery percentage will always appear in the status bar.

iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini don't display battery percentage in the status bar.


Show the battery percentage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Take care!

No surprise here. iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 11 and iPhone XR do not get the battery percentage display at the top of the Home Screen because of the hardware limitations of these models.


Please do something about it.


Let's be realistic. Apple is not going to change the hardware on an existing product.
