Because they more than make up for it with the 3:2 aspect ratio.

Don't care about aesthetics.

Bigger top bezel and - ideally - a 3:2 aspect ratio.
- josephg 5y agoI still don't understand. Lets say we have two machines: - Machine 1 has a large top bezel and no notch - Machine 2 has a tiny top bezel and a notch, but the pixels to either side of the notch are disabled in software (and never used). The part of the display thats enabled has identical geometry to machine 1. Aesthetics aside, aren't these machines identical in every way? You have a strong preference for machine 1. Why?
- yellowapple 5y ago> You have a strong preference for machine 1. Why? Because Machine 2 offers nothing of value over Machine 1 - only more complexity and more opportunities for hardware and software issues.
