It’s a weird design choice to have rounded corners on the top of the screen but not on the bottom

That notch looks ridiculous. Can't believe Crapple are still trying to make it a thing. There goes any hope of the iPhone 14 being notches with a punch-hole camera. Looks like I'm going out tomorrow and buying a Galaxy Flip.
I’m guessing a fully loaded 16” M1 Max will be around $25K. 😂
This is an amazing setup, and the IO is breathtaking. The notch is horrendous in every fashion. The ability to hide it in dark mode will be nice. However, I'm curious to see how it looks when using Auto-hide/show menu.
talk of yourself. I use hdmi daily
You can get more screen real estate without notch. Your logic would apply if Apple put the camera right in the center of the screen. Notch is not as bad but it is still bad.
I don’t mind the notch on my iPhone 12 mini, and the notch on the mini is big comparatively. That surprised me as I thought I’d hate it. But I don’t think I’d want that on a computer or an iPad.
Well done Apple for adding ProMotion – I have wanted it on MacBook Pro since it was announced on iPad Pro in 2017.
I cannot believe that we are finally out of dongle hell
Intel is paying a lot of people tonight to invade Apple forums
Good choosing of the wallpaper...so the notch is not standing out too much.
Because it's NOT(ch) a feature.

2015-2021: "Too thin! It's not pro anymore! Stop sacrificing performance for thinness!"
2021: "This looks like a laptop from early 2010s. I like the old design better."
Why sooo thicccc?
I already miss the 2016 thinness

I’m glad so many people are turned off by the notch. It will make it easier to get one ASAP!
So I think this means the notch is not going away on the iPhone anytime soon then.
They say the toolbar will cover the notch as to not be on the way of whatever is on the rest of the screen....but by the looks of it, the toolbar got awkwardly thicker to match the thickness of the notch...
I think I'll upgrade anwyay though

Cool. Take your immaturity and drama elsewhere. I mean really…”Crapple”?? How old are you like 10?
We all went bonkers over the phone notch too and now no one cares or even notices. Give me my MagSafe!
They seem to be using the notch as a signature design. No need for it, it's there as much for form as function.
I recall a time when Apple designs were iconic for their beauty. Wasn't so long ago...
What was the advertised thickness again? Interested to too how it compares to the current 16", which is already kinda chunky.
