Your argument (get rid of the notch) necessitates a bezel. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you.
But please wait here forever. Spare us anymore of your dull-witted arguments.
Anybody who has actually used an X for a day or two knows that you don’t even notice it. When it’s gone it’s gone, but it doesn’t bother anyone who uses it today.
You avoided my question. Just as I thought you would. You assume that removing the notch means that you need a bezel, it doesn’t.
lmao this is what I’ve been telling people for the last year now.
Well you know it wouldn't be an Apple product if people didn't make a big deal out of nothing!
People say after three days they stopped noticing it. I’m on Day 2 and it’s driving me insane. So... we’ll see
How would FaceID, the speaker, and a front facing camera work if there were no notch?
Come on, dude. You're like level 0 trolling right now.
yes. But that notch sure looks good. NOT
[doublepost=1537760113][/doublepost]Apple is not going to do away with the notch. Or should I say not until Samsung does then apple will.
I have not read any other posts because this is perfect. I love having a spot to tuck away the necessary persistent information without losing any usable real estate. It is an area that would be wasted otherwise. Far better to give it a use.
Sure it would. Where would the time, battery life, signal, etc go? Most people are using the phone to read most of the time. Video and photos are a small percentage of usage.
No its not, a fully bezeless phone is going to look 1000x better then any notched phone. Lay off the Apple cool aid.
I'm not a fan of the notch never have been but it's no use complaining as until someone figured out how to embed every sensor and front facing camera in display the notch isn't going anywhere. Personally I don't mind a thin bezel up top line the Samsung Galaxy I like symmetry in design the notch to me destroys that. Now if the notch was smaller say the size of a teardrop as rumored on the one plus 6t I wouldn't mind that at all.
more like self consolation. The notch is a blemish no matter which way you argue about it.
And to rub salt into wound, you gain nothing. In portrait, you are dedicating twice the amount of vertical space to status area to match the height of the notch. So the vertical viewable screen height is 4mm less with the notch (i.e. half the notch height). In landscape, you lost the entire notch area.
Also, due to notch screen aspect is stretched to 19.5:1. Comparing the Note 9 and XSmax, the Note9 has a bigger screen area than XSMAx (eventhough note9 has a diagonal 6.4in vs 6.5 for max)
XSmax Screen height (HxW) = 5.9 x 2.7 (including notch) = 15.93 sq-in / 15.5 sq-in (excl. notch area)
Note9 screen height (HxW) = 5.8 x 2.8 = 16.24 sq-in
