Any opinion of the iPhone's design decision should be reserved until you have had a chance to use the device for at least an hour.
It has become increasingly clear that the experience of the phone in-person and the experience of looking at product screenshots and marketing material are wildly different.
Anecdotally, every single people I know who has the iPhone X has indicated that they don't even notice that there's a notch after the first hour or so of owning the phone.
- jehlakj 9y agoDon’t really mind the notch but the system icons on the right seem misaligned to me - that’s what gets me.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoThis is one of those things where Android folks made fun of the notch, to the extent that Samsung even made an ad making fun of it, and within a year, Android folks will have decided their notches are great, and in fact, better than Apple's notches for this reason or the other. (And of course, the "Essential did it first" thing has to crop up as well, even though they were likely developed without inspiration from each other at around the same time.) Make fun of it right up until you copy it, is basically the industry standard now. Headphone jack going away was the same thing, pretty much.
- josteink 9y ago> Headphone jack going away was the same thing, pretty much. Except most manufacturers are still making phones with headphone jacks. Those who want to sell phones at least. Even Apple has a headphone-jack option for those who has it as an absolute demand: The iPhone SE.
- sundvor 9y agoYep. Case in point: S9. Headphone jack. Still waterproof, and they throw in a memory card slot just for further mockery. Samsung knows their stuff.
