It wouldn't make sense to have a notch whether you like it or not and In-Display-touchID will be a better solution to the problem.

Keep dreaming of that fantasy then because Apple isn't going to drop FaceID, even if they were to bring TouchID under the display. They'd use both because both have drawbacks that the other mitigates, for example TouchID with gloved or wet hands, and FaceID when the phone is laying flat on a table/desk.
What? It isn't fantasy dude since there are plenty of smartphones have in-display-fingerprint and notchless screen in the market. 🤦♂️
Which ones are those that dont have a pop up flash, big bezels, moveable bezels or off center home and has a Face ID equivalent?
Those phones also don't have the advanced facial recognition hardware of FaceID, which Apple isn't going to abandon. Nor do those phones address the shortcomings of a fingerprint-only phone. Be prepared to be disappointed if you're expecting the notch to disappear on the 2020 phones dude lol. Apple giving up FaceID is pure fantasy on your part.
you can see that a plethora of brand achieve it through an alternative way that looks better than the horrible notch and your comparison barely makes any sense because some of it isn't on the product. 🤦♂️

I know you want the notch on every smartphone, but don't be disappointed if it is gone sooner than you expected.
Did you miss where I said I don't like the notch? That doesn't mean I'm delusional enough to think Apple will be getting rid of FaceID lol...
I stand corrected. Nevertheless, iPhone X definitely was an upgrade in terms of battery capacity, and 11 even more so. The general trend is going upward and most people I know who own iPhone X, XR, 11, 11 Pro (what I upgraded to from 7), etc. are much happier with their batteries than on older phones.
They figured it out eventually. The 11 has a much larger battery and I only have to charge it every other day. Which is great.
It's fairly realistic to think the notch can be removed for the next revision of iPhone and you don't like to see it get remove even do you agree the notch is a horrible approach.
Of course it could be removed if they got rid of FaceID. But they won’t. I’ll quote this come September when they don’t.
But they won't? Don't be surprised if someone is going to get fired for that.
