Yup, into one big ass notch.
Over time the sensors will decrease and notch size will decrease. See my treat about the 3.5 mm jack. I don’t think it’s possible given the technology they want to push there are compromises.

Jesus christ. Part of your screen is not missing. The stupidity of some of the statements that fly around here never fails to astonish.
You either fill the space in and have a smaller screen and an ugly forehead on the device, or you have edges where you can put status and info as well as create a recognizable, identifiable design trait. Nobody's taking anything away from you, and if you don't like it, don't buy it.
Look how absolutely stupid that looks. Thank everything that you're not designing phones for Apple. I will never understand why having the screen extend around the camera and Face ID elements makes people scream about their screen being missing, all the while they advocate for LESS DISPLAY ALTOGETHER as the solution.
I think the one on the right looks better, especially when watching a movie. So sue me...
[doublepost=1542885303][/doublepost]So in the interest of asking an honest question, rather than the usual fanboy game of "if you don't agree with me and everything Apple does then you must be a jobless troll who isn't allowed to have a dissenting opinion" typical scenario...
If you had these two TV's before you... one with a slightly larger top bezel, vs one with a more pronounced notch in the screen... which one appeals to you more, and why?
I genuinely ask, because to me, the screen *IS* the phone. It's how you use it, view it, interact with it, etc... So while I tolerate it on my XR, as a "necessary evil", I don't like it. I see it as a poor design choice, as it takes away from what would otherwise be a magnificent screen. It's obviously not a deal breaker, but there is no stretch of the imagination where I would view such a thing as a benefit to me, or a selling point.
While having one bezel slightly larger than the others would trigger my OCD, I still think that a notch is worse, especially when watching a movie.
This argument is less about the notch, and more about how some people are so brand loyal that the will try to spin anything negative into a positive, and that doesn't make sense to me. I can buy whatever phone I want. I already had a Galaxy S9+, but I chose to sell that and get the XR because I wanted to go back to the Apple Watch... Apple makes the best watches, by far, and the best tablets... Their phones? Meh... they are "good enough" and that's about it. They work fine for what they are, but looking at that notch when watching a movie, is annoying. There is no other way to say it. I still bought the phone, and I am not bitching, per se... I mean, I didn't start any of these threads... I just added my opinions, just like everyone else.
Relax people...
