Note the status bars in both screenshots.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install any app to the home screen, e.g., https://airhorner.com/.
2) Launch the app.
3) Notice how the status bar is completely hidden (screenshot 1).
4) Activate Low Power Mode.
5) Notice how a strange yellow battery piece is visible (screenshot 2).

In both cases, for a "standalone" app according to its manifest https://airhorner.com/manifest.json, the status bar should be showing useful information like the time, network strength, etc. in the general case,  unless the `display` property of the Web App Manifest is set to "fullscreen".

To add to this, on iPhone X, it looks like the webview is not full screen. So when a site/app is saved to the homescreen, it doesn't respect viewport-fit. Similar situation with https://startrack-ng.firebaseapp.com
