Painting? As demonstrated by Framework's new display option, there are displays that physically do not have pixels there. The the actual mask they use for printing is already rounded. It's not painted over, it's just not there.
- WillAdams 2y agoIf the displays don't have the pixels, then they should discount the price based on them being missing.
- LoganDark 2y agoI'm pretty sure they do. You get maybe a few cents based on the physical area that the rounding leaves out. Of course, you can't just pay the few cents for a non-rounded screen if they don't already have masks for non-rounded screens. That's why Framework decided to compromise on the rounded option, as that one had already been commissioned by another customer, but if they wanted the same thing but without rounding they would have had to pay for brand new tooling.
- WillAdams 2y agoThat's even worse --- back in the days of the original Mac there were apps which would make use of the dark corners for various status notifications.
- LoganDark 2y agoIt's not like you can use the notch for status notifications on phones with a screen cutout. To be fair though, I've always been hostile towards phones with notches or cutouts of any kind. Even my current phone (OP7Pro) with its rounded corners is pushing it.
