Let 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? :)

  I'd imagine they used that ratio because it allows (fairly standard) 16:9 videos to be displayed without the notch eating into them.

    Said another way, why didn't they adjust the notch or other dimensions to support the nearest wider standard like 18.5:9?

      These go to 19.5:9

      Is 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.
