I don’t know any iPhone X owner that hates the notch. That opening bugged me and I stopped reading there. :)

  > I don’t know any iPhone X owner that hates the notch. Surely that's survivorship bias? I dislike the notch so much that I choose to not buy an iPhone X despite being due for an upgrade.

    Of course that’s survivorship bias. I wasn’t saying nobody hates the notch, just refuting his annoying assertion that “everybody hates the notch”.

  When you spend $1000+ on a phone, you'll find any reason to justify its faults. If a person had a choice between the notch, and no notch, with the same functionality. I'm doubtful anyone would choose the notch for aesthetic reasons.

    I disagree. Think about it less as a notch in the screen, but as an extra screen around the notch. I'm looking at my phone and it has the camera and speaker above the screen, but the sides are just empty black space. If I could, I would absolutely want to have extra screen there, to display the time or notifications. So yes, I would absolutely pick a phone with a notch over a phone without it.

      The assumption was that the screen real estate would be equal, minus the notch.
