Always showing the battery percentage in the iPhone 6 or 6 plus (earlier versions too) is good to know how much power/charge the battery is having. Even though by default the battery icon shows the power state by filled colors, but displaying the percentage in numbers will give more idea.

Here is a simple guide which shows how to enable this feature and show battery power percentage in iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, applicable for 4, 4s, 5 and 5S where iOS 8 is running.
