This phone has a 19.5:9 screen so 16:9 videos will have vertical black bars on either side that are thick enough to envelop the notch. You can see that in this [1] hands-on video.

- Yizahi 9y agoLet me guess - it uses 19.5:9 because 18.5:9 and 18:9 were taken already and Apple can't really use a "used" concept? :)
- bichiliad 9y agoI'd imagine they used that ratio because it allows (fairly standard) 16:9 videos to be displayed without the notch eating into them.
- paulryanrogers 9y agoSaid another way, why didn't they adjust the notch or other dimensions to support the nearest wider standard like 18.5:9?
- oceanswave 9y agoThese go to 19.5:9
- qq66 9y agoIs 18.5:9 really a standard? And does it matter? They will sell a hundred million of these things and it will this become a standard size.
