To display this icon in the status bar, you must have at least one Bluetooth device connected with your iPhone. Your iPhone or iPad can display the battery status of only those devices that are supported by the iOS.

But nowadays, wireless devices are becoming more and more popular. So, you may have a Bluetooth headset, an Apple Watch, iPad and you might also be connected with your Macbook via Bluetooth!
