iPhone status bar dimensions, measured
The clock, signal bars, Wi-Fi arc and battery, measured on a real 1179 px screenshot rather than eyeballed.
Last updated: 27 August 2026
On an iPhone 14 Pro (393 × 852 pt, 1179 × 2556 px), the status bar occupies the top 59 pt and the home indicator the bottom 34 pt. At full 1179 px resolution the clock sits at x = 150, the signal bars span x = 846–903, Wi-Fi x = 926–976, and the battery x = 999–1074 with a 5 px cap.
Why these numbers are hard to find
Apple publishes safe-area insets, not glyph geometry. Design kits approximate the icons, and the approximations are usually wrong in the same way: signal bars too narrow, the Wi-Fi drawn as three stroked arcs instead of two filled crescents and a wedge, and the battery drawn as an outline when it is a filled pill with the number knocked out of it.
Everything below was measured pixel by pixel on a native screenshot, at the resolution the device actually produces.
Safe areas and overall geometry
| Measure | Points | Pixels @3× |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | 393 × 852 | 1179 × 2556 |
| Status bar height (top safe area) | 59 | 177 |
| Home indicator area (bottom safe area) | 34 | 102 |
| Dynamic Island, collapsed | ≈ 126 × 37 | ≈ 378 × 111 |
The glyphs, at 1179 px wide
Horizontal positions are measured from the left edge of the screen; vertical ones from the top. All three glyphs share a common baseline at y = 105.
| Element | Position | Size | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clock | x 150, y 69 | ink 131 × 38 | semibold, ≈ 52 px type |
| Signal | x 846–903 | 58 × 37 | 4 bars, 10 px wide, 6 px apart |
| Wi-Fi | x 926–976 | 51 × 37 | 2 crescents + a downward wedge |
| Battery | x 999–1074 | 76 × 41 | filled pill, cap 5 px at x 1077 |
Signal bars
Four bars, each exactly 10 px wide with a 6 px gap — so a 16 px pitch — all bottom-aligned at y = 105. Their heights climb 14, 21, 29 and 37 px. Corner radius is about 3 px. Bars that are too thin or evenly spaced by eye are the fastest way to make a mockup look wrong without anyone being able to say why.
Wi-Fi
Not three stroked arcs. It is two filled crescents with tapered ends, plus a small downward-pointing wedge at the bottom — the tip of the fan, not a dot. The outer crescent is about 7 px thick at its centre.
Battery
A rounded pill roughly 76 × 41 px, filled from the left in proportion to the charge, with the remaining portion in the same colour at about 38 % opacity. When the percentage is shown it is knocked out of the fill in the background colour, centred on the body — not drawn on top. The cap is a separate 5 px nub, also at reduced opacity.
Converting to another canvas. Divide by 1179 and multiply by your width. On our 923 px canvas the factor is 0.78287: the signal block becomes 45.4 px wide, Wi-Fi 39.9, the battery 59.5, and the right margin falls at 77 px.
The status bar in an App Store screenshot
Apple does not require a specific clock, but the convention is 9:41 — the time shown when the first iPhone was announced. A full battery and full signal are also conventional: a screenshot showing 14 % battery reads as a snapshot of someone's bad day rather than a product shot.
Build the screen instead of describing it
My Larp Wallet composes a wallet mockup in the browser and exports it at 1179 × 2556 px — the native resolution these figures describe. One plan, $19/month.
