- valuearb 9y agoNope, it’s nearly as big in a much smaller package. Plus: 414 by 628 points X: 375 by 633 points The sides of the notch aren’t unusable, they are the exact same status bar as every iPhone.
- skrowl 9y agoYou're not taking out the notch. In total square inches, the X is 97.38% the size of the iPhone 8+, in actual usable space (once you consider the screen on the sides of the notch are effectively worthless for video / content / etc with the status bar hidden) it's roughly equivalent to a 5.0" display. You're paying $200 more for a much smaller screen. Calling the X a 5.8" screen is just marketing. You wouldn't buy an 80" diagonal TV with a huge notch missing out of the top and say it was the same screen size as other 80" TVs, so why apply it to phones?
