It is 74px of additional vertical space. This change moves the permanent menu bar out of application space into a new menu bar space. you are getting somewhere around 50-60px additional in application space.
It also improved the user experience for full screen mode. Previously in full screen, the menu bar is hidden. If you move the mouse to near that area, the menu bar appears and jumps down. It’s janky and sometimes you can trigger that by accident just trying to click on something near the top of the app.
for full screen now, the menu bar location is fixed and outside of the app space. It can be visible or hidden by a black bar, but it doesn’t jump around and it’s harder to accidentally trigger it.
- olyjohn 5y agoYeah I was just thinking the other day how much I wish I had an extra 60px of space. I was also thinking how happy I am to have saved 1mm of thickness on my phone by getting rid of the headphone jack. And, oh man, I wish my iPhone SE also had a notch. All that screen real estate between the rounded corners and the notch would make my experience so much better. Really jelly of the iPhones that have that.
- acdha 5y agoThink about it this way: you get a better camera and all it cost you was gaining screen real estate.
