Apple has added the back the ability to see your battery percentage in the status bar with the release of iOS 16 beta 5.
Since the arrival of the notched iPhone X, users have had to swipe down to bring up Control Center which displayed a numerical representation of their remaining battery life.
In iOS 16 beta 5, the percentage is now displayed within the battery icon at the top right of your display. You can switch battery percentage on and off using the toggle in the Settings > Battery menu.

Finally apple understood why people did jailbreak.
My reason for it was next futures:
Battery percentage
Springtomize (futures smaller icons and dock settings)
Key vibrate on each tap on the keyboard
Lockscreen customized
