This notch. Can't be unseen in 2019.
- rstupek 7y agoI have the X and can't say I ever notice the notch.
- thoughtpalette 7y agoI have to echo this comment. The Xs, never really notice it.
- vardump 7y agoReally wanted to like Apple's "notchy" phone as my next work phone... but that notch was just too much. Shame, rest of it seems pretty nice.
- pwinnski 7y agoThis notch is only seen by non-iPhone users. It disappears completely and immediately.
- nickthegreek 7y agoI am an iPhone user who refuses to upgrade from my 7+ until this silly notch business is removed. It does not "disappear completely and immediately", especially when viewing landscape mode video content.
- pwinnski 7y agoSorry, I was not specific enough. It's a "silly notch" to people who don't use an iPhone with the notch. If you never upgrade, it will remain a silly notch to you forever, while those who do upgrade find that it disappears completely and immediately, as I said. If you want to watch landscape video, a double tap switches between notched and non-notched views, so you can choose if you care. Most people don't after day one.
- rstupek 7y agoI echo this comment and really the notch has not been an issue for me in 2 years of usage I never notice it. I like faceid over touchid as well
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoVery rarely does any important visual information become hidden when video playback is covered by the notch.
- wilg 7y agoIt does "disappear completely and immediately" for people who have the phone with the notch.
- kalleboo 7y agoWhen watching landscape video content it literally disappears completely as it goes black (and on an OLED that really means black)
- snailmailman 7y agoI do not own a phone with a notch, but I’m under the impression that most video content is not wide enough for the notch to cut into the video. I think you have the option of zooming in a bit to remove black bars on edges; with the drawback that corner pixels and the notch area are lost. Same as any other non-16:9 phone
- dEnigma 7y agoI always thought I'd be bothered by a notch, but when my old phone eventually gave up the ghost I saw a great deal for a Huawei phone with a notch, and I immediately got used to the design. I expected to need at least a few days to acclimatize myself, but it was instant, weirdly enough. Now Now it never even enters my mind until I hear someone talking, or see comments, about notches in phones.
