8+ seems to be the superior phone over the X

Yes and then it looks like this...
Not acceptable in my opinion.
Yikes.
I’ll take the battery life over strangers being able to tell I’ve got The Latest iPhone™ from a distance, but it’s all personal preference at the end of the day

turn it the other way
Then the right side has cut off content and the bottom bar is still in the way. Try again.
I figured it out.
[doublepost=1510032941][/doublepost]I guess I don’t see the problem with it not being zoomed. When I’m zooming in it’s generslly to get a better view of something. I won’t have it zoomed in and then pan around much.
no it doesn't.. try it.
if the notch is on the right and you zoom the site (double-tap)..
it will fill from the left edge up to the notch.. if you further zoom (spread), you will lose content out of the left side prior to any notch interference.
again, try it.

I agree, the notch is a huge turn off from the X for me. Very poor design decision on Apple's part (something that is becoming rather common as of late). I shouldn't have to deal with this sort of inconvenience on a high end $1000 phone.
of course it does..
that's one crappily designed website right there.

[edit]
that said.. it's such a weak thing to be arguing about anyway.
websites on phones are viewed in portrait in the majority of cases.. (by faaaaarrr)
me personally-- i never browse the web in landscape.. maybe i'll turn it for images/videos online but reading? portrait.. always.
Can you do reddit ?of course it does..

i'm away from the computer now..
i'll do it tomorrow if nobody does it before then.
(i could post a screenshot of reddit with the X but it won't show the rounded corners & notch)
I was kind of torn between keeping my X or trading it for an 8+. I’ve been with Apple since the beginning, and coming from a plus phone that had a home button takes some getting used to. But after playing with the settings to remove the yellow screen tint, now making it more bright and vibrant, I’m starting to really like the X a lot better. Not to mention the speakers on this thing are definitely kick ass. I thought the screen seemed smaller than a plus, but we actually get more screen length than width. That means less scrolling. It’s a new design, so it takes time to adapt. It’s like breaking in some new shoes. I still don’t like the smaller keyboard, but not everything is perfect. But I do realize the X isn’t for everyone, so I believe that’s why they offer the 8 and 8+ which was a really nice option, as well.
I was getting eye fatique and headaches from using Galaxy s8 and Google Pixel Xl (1st gen). Funny thing that i never had this with LCD screens.
I really hope that oled manufacturers do something about that in near future (for those unlucky bastards like us)
There is no way Apple had enough OLED panels to produce two size iPhones this year. Samsung was the only supplier they can actually meet the demand to manufacture an OLED panel for the iPhone X. The iPhone X Plus will likely be a reality In 2018.
