The top notch Cutout looks ugly. Apple could embrace the top notch visually or attempt to blend it with an on-screen status bar as shown on left image.

Fugly is more like it. That is horrible if it actually looks like that.
The cutout, when the app opened in a white background takes some getting used to, not going to lie.
Sure looks good with black bezel, but if the front is white for the silver/cooper model. You won't be able to blend it like the left image.
So for uniformity, they will just leave the notch all showing on all 3 models

You're arguing with history, when was last time Apple released a silver model with a black front...
Apple Watch Series 0
Apple Watch Series 1
Apple Watch Series 2
Apple Watch Series 3
iPhone X
[doublepost=1504493938][/doublepost]This is a good fake. They wouldn't have that app updated to this device. Moreover the thin bar is identical to one suggested by a concept artist and it goes away within the app which makes absolutely no sense.
I noticed the same thing. How do you go back to the home screen if the bar is gone? And why did they blur everything??
You orgasmed over that blurry piece of video?
Yikes, the notch looks even worse in the dark. I feel like something is covering a portion of the screen, even if there isn't really "screen" there.
Not a deal breaker for me, but I would be much happier if the top corners remain black to blend in.

I think they made the screen blury to protect the personal information in the app. Looks like the real thing.
Most likely fake but the final product will look very similar to this.
That intrusion into screen estate is jarring in low light. Not sure what I think of it.
My personal assertion is that anyone of above average IQ agrees with you. The corners should be black, absolutely always. I mean forget that it looks god awful, uses more battery, and offers absolutely no benefit, but look at that in the dark there, it is honestly incredibly distracting to the viewing experience. Your eyes are drawn to it because of the inconsistency in uniformity.
I believe most of what Gurman reports because he has incredible accuracy due to legit sources, but I will NOT believe Apple is coloring in the corners until I see it. It goes against so many aspects of Apple's philosophies in design.
So I just looked at it again and I actually laughed....that's how jarring it is in the dark.

Apple what's wrong with you?!

that cutout looks so terrible, will prob just get 7s if this ends up being the case
How will it actually be in my mind? See where the corners of the display just begin to curve? Instead of curving, the display will be square on all 4 corners, but just because the curved corners of the display will be perpetually black. This gives the status bar at the top, and Home bar at the bottom perpetual black backgrounds, but they will still be used with content inside the black backgrounds. This gets you symmetry in design, a hidden notch, and no display showing rounded corners.

I’d be happier if Apple adhered to symmetry basics in design. I can understand wanting something immediately recognizable like a home button as a design cue, but I’m not sure obstructing part of the display makes the most sense.
I guess we’ll see next week but I’m definitely concerned.
