Why would you have a separate screen under the normal screen? At that point you might as well just extend the normal screen half an inch down and have it there, like an android nav bar... Until people will complain that they want that space for normal usage... Besides, I think that bezel is needed for the backlight and structural integrity. Also, I don't find it comfortable to look at the very bottom of the screen, it's basically the same imo as the very top of the keyboard.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoQuarter of an inch away from the already bright screen is very different to quarter of an inch above the keyboard. Keyboard doesn't even register in my peripheral vision. Putting a changing, illuminated screen where it will be in my peripheral vision is a guaranteed distraction - as sense of movement and light is stronger in the peripheral than straight ahead. If you must put it there, put it above the FKeys so I can a) use controls how suits the context best, and b) disable the display when it suits. As to why not just part of the main screen - well Apple don't want to go entirely touch on the main screen implying two different devices, and separated it clearly serves a separate, distinct purpose.
