Wi-Fi or lte, battery

Wow. What planet did you just arrive from? The symbols are pretty self-explanatory, as they were designed to be.

Your Wi-Fi signal strength, your carrier, your cellular network (3G, 4G etc) the time, do not disturb (moon) rotation lock (lock with an arrow around it) location enabled (water drop like shape) Bluetooth (bluetooth symbol) and the battery level

From left to right

-signal dots - signal strength of the carrier network you are on now
-carrier name
-internet strength - either from cellular data (G, E, 3G, 4G/LTE) or Wi-Fi waves (3 being the best)
-time
-location services - if enabled a little arrow icon
-bluetooth - if enabled
-battery percentage - if enabled
-battery icon
-charge symbol - if charging

There are others that would show, again if enabled by you

  • Why do some people like to act like iPhones and iPads are status symbols? If it were, I mean you'd have the whole lifestyle to keep up. But a lot of people buy them. I'll admit they're both convenient but I find it a little weird to think anything of owning one. (This is in general, and not directed towards how people act to me - just my observation).
  • Which app for iPhone has these keyboard symbols? This app has the money bag, the mushroom the full moon, a whale an octopus an anchor and a crystal ball?
  • What do the symbols for the weather on my iPhone mean? I always check the weather on my iPhone but today I couldn't figure out what the symbol meant. It is the app you can't delete to be specific. I saw one that looked like snow flakes but it's the middle of July! They might have been stars but I have no clue!
