I don’t think the notch is a big deal on MacOS as that area has the menu bar anyway. It’s a much bigger deal on the iPhones. In dark mode, that notch won’t even be noticeable. I am curious however on why Apple didn’t do a punch hole instead since it doesn’t even have Face ID? Unless they are setting the expectation for next year when they do add Face ID? Also does anyone know what happens to the cursor around that area? Does the cursor go under that area or is it blocked from going in that area?

Cursor goes under. Furthermore I can guarantee one of the first "hacks" to be available will be to always have a black bar across top to make it look like there isn't a notch for all those people that think it is worthless to have extra screen realestate.

My guess, they didn’t do a punch hole because they will use that space for FaceID soon. It also solidifies the notch as an Apple brand symbol, at a time when it may fade from the phone within a few years. So much advertising for apps and other services use notched iPhone screenshots, which is massive advertising for Apple. The notch ties the iPhone and Max together, and not by accident.
