So many people already complaining of iPhone X black strip, how they overlook something so basic?
- monkmartinez 9y agoYou mean the notch of sensors? Yeah... not good.
- nnutter 9y agoI was ok with it until they played a video clip and it played it with the (partial) black strip.
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoSame. I think you can get used to the notch itself but if you're watching a video fullscreen then they _really_ need to fill in the rest so it's a solid black bar versus it obscuring part of the actual video.
- rpowers 9y agoLikely a software fix. The video they played was also from the 'memories' feature which may attempt 19.5:9 aspect ratio video when in reality most videos are 16:9.
- jamesrcole 9y agoI think the true test is what people think about it after using one of the phones for a while. People very often make a big fuss about things they think they aren't going to like, where they often completely forget about it after a bit of time actually experiencing it.
- mastax 9y agoWell you need to put the proximity sensor and camera (and IR dot projector) somewhere. The options seem to be: - Thin, symmetrical bezels (Samsung S8, LG V30) - Notch at top (iPhone X, Essential Phone) - Big bezel at bottom (Xiaomi Mi Mix & Mi Mix 2) It does seem an oversight that they don't just black out the space on full screen video and apps, though. That works fine on the essential phone, and it still looks cool in the launcher which has proper support.

- acheron 9y agoWhat's that have to do with the iPhone 8, which is the topic of the thread you are posting in?
- sosborn 9y agoIt doesn't matter what they do, people will complain. Also, do you really think they "overlooked" it? I guarantee they had a ton of passionate discussions about it.
