How to Get the Battery Level on an iPhone Screen
Like most cellular phones, the iPhone displays its current battery level at all times. Rather than relying on the fullness level of the battery icon to determine the iPhone's battery strength, users can see the exact percentage of battery life that is available. To help lengthen the life of the iPhone battery, only charge the phone when the battery is close to empty. Leaving an iPhone charging for extended periods of time will shorten the battery life.
