Other Would you opt for a slightly larger top bezel like the new iPad Pros to ditch the FaceID notch?

Notch really doesnt bother me anymore but I would prefer the *cough* android *cough* way of blacking it out and having the status icons floating above the stuff on the screen.
That would be nice. I'd seriously consider an upgrade from my 8 Plus next year if the notch were gone or if it were slimmer.
I can see myself embracing Face ID long before I embrace a notch in my screen. Still... a Touch ID option would be nice... you know... kinda like how they added it to the new MBAs even though we've heard for the last year how Touch ID was dead.
Touch id is DEAD, I wish people would get over it so it will finally die! Lol I think they had to add it cause Face ID would be too far for from the person being it’s not a hand held. But in the hand held world, touch ID can go just like the battery percentage! Still mad about that one..

Not on a hand held. As you can see on the XR, the bigger bezels look horrible. Plus Apple can’t say they have a 6.5’ if the bezels were lower... lol
Cool story. I am over it. Was never upset about it actually... it is pretty funny though that they added it to the MBA.
I would actually embrace Face ID with open arms... if only I didn't have to look at a hideous notch in return. That being said... I'll check back next year.
Not an issue for me.
The battery percentage display shouldn't be an issue for anyone. A minute flick of the finger or thumb displays it instantly.

Realky tho, you get use to it and don’t even notice it. I thought that too but days later it was an after thought.

Not using it after a week. It’s nit a factor in your daily use. So much that every other phone does the same thing just about.

It is cause it was a just a look, not an extra flick I have to do 10 times a day. Although it’s becoming less and less needed since the battery’s last all day and night now.
What you listed are actual features that are improved every year or added to the iPhone, but a physical change by eliminating the Notch is not a feature, that’s an alteration to the actual design.
Without a doubt, primarily because consuming video with the notch is not good and downright sloppy and it's just like having bezels in order to support 16:9 and content otherwise. It's a decent experience app-wise outside of videos when the developers support it, but once they remove the notch in a few years all of the notch lovers will be like "wow look at that all-screen without content being cut off!".
It's not necessarily bad. It's just different because we're all used to thin bezels by now. If they were to implement the new iPad Pro's design language in a future iPhone, the screen would more or less look similar to that of the Nokia 7 Plus or the Samsung Galaxy A8 which I would not mind at all.
Exactly. I do feel that apple will match the top bezels to the sides and bottom, and we will have people complaining about large bezels. Apple would normally do that if there are no home buttons. Ipad pro 10.5 had thinner side bezels but a uniform top and bottom bezels. I feel that the new ipad pro could have thinner side bezels like the older ipad pro 10.5 version, but they somehow increased the bezels for uniformity sake.
