And what do I do with the parts of the status bar that don't fit on the ears?

On iOS? Nothing, 'cause there is no such thing. The "status bar" shows the battery indicator, the signal strength, and wether you are on cellular or wifi.

On the left, you've got the name of the carrier you are currently using, whos text is scrolling. If it's unlocked, it shows the current time and if GPS is enabled.

That's it.

>"there is no such thing"

Huh?

iOS 12, iPhone X, swipe from top-right to reveal:

Carrier, VPN status, Battery life as a numeric %

... none of which appear in the notch-level "ears". Which is fine (tho were it up to me, I'd prefer VPN status somehow integrated w/ signal strength indicators for cell & wifi).

I'm confused. The carrier, time, battery life, etc, are in the notch ears..

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

edit: that was a genuine question

The comment lists three things. Carrier, VPN status, and Battery life as a numeric %.

None of those are in your screenshot.
