This has nothing to do with picking sides of who likes the notch and who doesn't. It's usage based. Everyone's experiences will vary depending on how somebody uses the iPhone. That's what it comes down to. Not everybody and every iPhone user will appreciate the same features. But let's not categorize a viewpoint based on a design function that Apple implemented because you don't agree with it. That's like me saying 'everybody should like the exact same color iPhone and why another color iPhone was a horrible choice by Apple'. Point is, not everybody would agree with that statement, because everybody differs based on what they prefer and opinions vary.
fine. if you cannot admit that the notch present an objective viewing problem, then it's pointless.
No, but I can admit it doesn't present an objective viewing problem for me. Nor will I or make any claims To speak for anyone else. To each their own.
I would have kept the notch but made the toolbar on the sides constantly black in order to blend in. that way you can make it dynamic and show different information up there or even make it interactive so as to not waste the space, but it would still blend in nicely.
Yeah I don't understand how anyone can think this is ok:
I can get used to the notch for other apps and safari, etc.. but media not so much.
lol .. there are many examples where the notch is not okay. I personally think it's ugly and not Apple-esque. Call an Apple an Apple, the notch is ugly! The problems we're seeing in landscape mode will be addressed and Apple will make it much better than the launch day iteration. However, anyone who thinks the notch is a great invention and is here to stay across many iPhone iterations is definitely out to lunch.

the more serious problem is that the smaller zoomed out option is so small it's even worse!

exactly, I dont want to buy a full edge to edge screen phone to watch videos in letter box lol.
seriously now, i really wanna know at least how various youtube videos look etc.
i'll probably won't watch feature films but mainly series with 16:9 ratio so it might
not be as small as this.
Wonder Woman has more aggressive aspect ratio (TBH many most movies today) so it will look letterboxed and smaller.
it's not that i don't like the new phone, it's just that THIS is a real problem that i just cannot
understand how they let it be. and to have the video with the notch displayed at the keynote with pride.
It won't. Only if you force it to.

Ok, for the millionth time: this is not what video will look like UNLESS you yourself double-tap to ignore the original aspect ratio of the footage and go "full screen". Which you really shouldn't do!

Someday that young man will look back on his photos and cringe. Like I do when I see photos of myself with 80's poodle hair, in shirts with huge linebacker worthy shoulder pads on my tiny 5'2 82 pound body and all my leather jewelry with metal spikes.You forgot the bit where they all happily ride home after their Starbucks on their one-speeds.
Someday we all will look back on the Notch and feel the same way. It stands out and proudly calls attention to itself. It is unique and defines the beginning of a new era in IPhones. But it's definitely going to feel very dated as soon as Apple can engineer a truly magical solution. We will look back and snicker. Someday. For now, fluff up your man buns and embrace the notch.
What in the hell is there to appreciate with this notch? NOTHING at all.
There is nothing at all positive about it at all.
Opinions differ. At least I know that you won't be pre-ordering an iPhone X, which is good for the rest of us.
Everyone's seems to be hating this notch. I like this new design!
It's unique, now iPhone stands out and is not like Samsung etc. I don't see the notch will ruining my life on forthcoming X. I'm gonna love this beautiful new phone
Think different needs to mean better, not just different. The only way I can fall in love with the notch is if the edge to movie screen measurements at the top and bottom of the phone in portrait mode add up the be LESS than the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.
I believe it will. They need to keep pace with Apple here and ditch their current bezels. Not sure of any other way to have the front facing camera tech without a notch/bezel at this point.
