Oh ok.
I just had never heard that argument. I’ve heard the opposite though, that Android is so fragmented that it’s become a huge problem.
Got a tip for us?

No problem. I don’t expect everyone to know about everyone’s crackpot demands.
Nope, just once a day. I mean, if I do a FaceTime call, then it runs out super quickly. But if I'm just doing text/email/web/phone calls, it lasts the full day.
Agreed 100%. Please make a flush model. Would gladly trade some camera quality and/or thinness.
That’s not what ‘concept‘ means, which actually means its an ‘intention or plan‘ that hasn’t happened yet, the notch is a reality that it currently exists is what I think you mean to say. Either way, I’ll accept that you deflected from my previous question.
The 5.4” is huge compared to the OG SE. It’s the same width as the SE 2020, but not as tall. Not quite a half-inch shorter in height iirc.

Doubtful. It would just be like my 11-inch iPad Pro but smaller.

Other companies have done it. Heck, Apple even showed they could do with the iPad Pro.
You do know the bezels on the iPad are the same thickness as the notch on the iPhone.
Yes. So give the top bezel to the front camera and sensors instead of cutting into the screen. How hard can it be?
What you’re suggesting would be to get rid of the ears and make the notch a full bezel which would be cutting into the screen.
If you‘re talking about the very thin bezel not counting the notch they wouldn’t fit in there. The og post was talking about how they fit it into the iPad but the iPad bezel is much thicker than the iPhone bezel. The thickness of the ipad bezel is on par with the notch because that‘s the amount of space they need for those component.
Looks like my iPhone X with an ESR bumper case on it. This bumper case is so beat up and scratched and bent, but has saved my phone many many times when dropped.
And that would be... totally fine by me! The 4 is still my favorite design, followed by the 5. I hate the rounded edges. Maybe I can go back to not using a case.
Also, there was that cool camera app that took a 360 degree picture by vibrating the phone so it spun around while standing up. I always felt bad for that developer once they switched to rounded edges...
Do people actually notice the notch when using the phone? I'm aware it's there, but my eyes are never drawn to it. I couldn't care less if the notch gets smaller or goes away.

They released one literally weeks ago.

It’s really not worth pointing out facts around here.
no one has shrunk the Face ID components down
even the company that supplies Apple has not been able to do so yet. This has been confirmed by supply chain leakers several times over the last few years. At the moment al they can do to reduce the notch size is to move the speaker up and squish the other components together (this is what the iPhone 12 lineup will allegedly do), but there are no component size changes
Regarding the iPad; there is a very Distinct and different bezel size between the iPad Pro redesign and iPhones. I recommend you hold the two together to see how thick the bezel is on the iPad vs any notched iPhone, even the lcd models that have thicker bezels at baseline (Xr, 11)
Regarding other manufacturers; no other company uses the same components as the Face ID tech. Not one other company.
The only company that has come close is google with the pixel 4/4XL, that system is very similar. and they had to add a full forehead to their phone to fit all their components (which included a radar system, but I digress)

You'd have less usable screen real estate that way. I'll take the ears!
