Why isn’t there a progress indicator on iPhone X?

[Bladery]

when they introduced the new iPhone X, they showed an progress indicator at the top right corner.
Why is it gone?

What kind of a progress indicator? For what?

 

[tarsins]

Do you mean the bar under the time to show where to pull down for Control Centre? It's on the lock screen in the latest iOS.

 

[Hatton920]

he means network activity indicator which the x is the only iPhone which doesn't have one

 

[GreyOS]

The network activity indicator has never been much use

There was supposed to be one above the top right status bar icons: a sliding dot.

I don‘t think they‘ve enabled it.

I filed a report which got closed as a duplicate a while ago. Perhaps they're gonna introduce something in future iOS updates.

Something like this.

THATS whats missing! I coukdntvquite put my finger on it.
The pinwheel swirly at the top!

Maybe they couldn't figure out why it kept getting stuck on new releases so they just ditched it to save the effort of fixing the issue.

When watching a video, you'll already see a loading pinwheel on the scrubber anyway + it looks out of place in landscape mode (due to the lack of notch).

I didn't have the need to know the buffering status of any media I consume (so far).

It can be used to show if your Wi-Fi has stalled. I for one miss it.

Why do you think so? Did it mean something in the past when they closed the report?


I, for my part, really miss it because you know that something is happening and iPhone isn’t stuck.

It just means that they are aware of it (that it has been reported before), but that's about it really.

It's meaningless because it's not set by the OS network stack. An application has to turn it on. And that application has to turn it off again.

Just found this. If anybody is interested, it looks like Apple intentionally removed it:

On all devices except iPhone X, a network activity indicator spins in the status bar at the top of the screen as networking occurs.

This is already known.
But no one knows why especially as it was advertised in a video.

It's really meaningless because the OS itself doesn't use it, it's for applications to use.
