Why is there a half hidden LTE sign on my iPhone in the top left?

Hello,


Ever since iOS 16 came put and I updated my iPhone X to it, I’ve noticed this show up on my phone.



Because I’ve visually impaired, I use the Zoom feature on my devices and being curious about what this was, I zoomed in and saw it says LTE.



Why does my phone show this on the Home Screen and Lock Screen?


Sincerely,


Captain

iPhone X, iOS 16

I don’t have Zoomed enabled.

Even though I’ve got terrible vision, and should be using this, I have never and simply refuse to because it looks my phone so dorky looking and I already get plenty of comments because I use devices so close to my face anyhow.


This has never been a enabled, yet the LTE occasionally shows up in the top left corner of my Home Screen half cut off.

Hello,


Very sorry, I don’t have notifications enabled for Apple Discussions and have been super busy lately and haven’t had time to come on.


Yes, it’s enabled, I have to keep it enabled 24/7 as a visually impaired person, but even when disabled or fully zoomed out, it still only shows the bottom half of a (T) and an (E)
