its the iOS control center. used to be slide down from top center now its shifted to the upper right corner for iPads
It's to tell you there is a pull down available, namely Control Centre.I upgraded to iOS 12 last night. I noticed this little bar below the battery percentage in the upper right corner of the lock screen. Anyone know what it is for??

It was in iOS 11 as well on last year's X. I assume you shot above is last year's X since the new ones don't come out until Friday.
i seriously hate this black & white bar on iPhone X - it's really annoying, i cant find the option how to get rid of it.
That's the problem - I'm fine with unlocking that's make sense but not in every apps?
Anyway i was hoping iOS 12 will add a option somewhere in accessibility for that but no.
It’s not displayed in ANY app and not even in the home screen. It’s only displayed on the lock screen.
I have an iPhone X too. It does not show in any apps. I’d love to see a screenshot of it in an app. If you really do see it inside apps then there must be a setting to turn it off, because I only see it in the lock screen.
You know what they say happens when you ASSume something...
This was a screenshot from my iPad.
That's often one of the big reasons for people to include what device is in question given that there's a decent enough variety out there to make a difference.
Or it could be like it is for iPhone X in that it doesn't really show there all the time and/or for everyone (perhaps depending on usage), if I recall correctly.
Doesn't seem to on iPads now. Its been on my iPad Mini 4 for all the iOS 12 betas (well other than the early ones with the cellular dots there instead) and doesn't go away.
That is so weird. I have two iPhones and two iPads. The small bar only appears on the lock screen, not anywhere else.
