I didn't expect no notch, but I was hoping for the rumor with the smaller notch with the battery % back in the status bar.
 
Except it is because I won’t buy it specifically for that reason. Therefore, it’s a problem.

The OP was asking if it bothered other people, which includes the entire populous of this forum. It’s not an issue for most, judging from the looks of it.

Smaller notch is possible but I hate to disappoint those who say the notch is going away. It isn't going to happen in 2020 and probably not in 2021 unless someone develops a way to make the camera and sensors work through the display.

I would like the battery percentage back!... One of my nitpicks about the iPhone
 
Uh, yes it does.

Yes. Seriously does. I have face unlock turned on. Works great even in the dark.

If for any reason it doesn't read my face (sunglasses) I can use under screen fingerprint.

This is the problem with iPhone users. They seriously do not follow/understand what others are doing have already been done or are also offered.

Also note, my wife has an XS Max and enjoys her phone.

If I prefer an iPhone I don’t understand why I would want to follow or understand what others have already done or offer. I’m happy with my choice. Why should I care about yours.
 
Does the competition have all the special lenses and sensors that the notch is housing?

No because the competition has better solutions for user authentication.
