I mean the "fixed" top bar that usually shows the time and battery status, et c., gets bumped down for a second one that just prints the date, on the far left of the screen. This is on the settings screen, captured on the right side of the top graphic on the page.
It's a weird choice for a bunch of reasons—why go to extra effort to print the date on the settings screen, of all places, but not in any kind of a "you can edit this here" context, but only an informational one? Why not find a way to put it on the existing top bar? (it looks like there's room, even with the notch) Why break a "this bar is fixed at the top and doesn't have anything 'above' it in the view hierarchy—all it might do is disappear, not be pushed down" norm for such a minor thing? If you're going to that effort, why only use like 1/4 of the width (even accounting for the notch) that you're claiming, and not display more stuff there? Why not just print that under the existing bar, if you've decided it needs to appear on this screen?
It looks like a mistake, as is. Like some kind of temporary dev UI element that got left in by accident.
