Plane Check
United Airlines
We have United Airlines's fleetwide statements but haven't verified any of its individual aircraft yet, so there is nothing here to pick from. What we do have is below, with its source.
What United Airlines says fleetwide
Starlink
Some aircraft“More than 400 United planes have Starlink today, and the airline expects to outfit close to 1,000 aircraft before the end of this year.”
A fleet total, not a per-aircraft-type count, so there is no honest percentage to put on any single airplane.

Free Wi-Fi
Some aircraft“Starlink Wi-Fi is free for United® MileagePlus® members”
Free where Starlink is installed, for MileagePlus members.

Seatback screens
Varies“United has more than 167,000 seatback screens across nearly 900 planes and plans to roughly double that number as it takes delivery of hundreds of new airplanes and retrofits existing aircraft.”
United counts planes with screens, not planes without. Which of its aircraft types have them is exactly what we have not verified.
