But these apps aren't on the App Store!! Have they been digitally approved by Apple?! They could contain malware, spiders, or Ebola!!
Got a tip for us?

Can't Get Used to Your MacBook Pro's Notch? These Apps Will Hide It for You

I’ve used the new MacBook Pro 16” for about 5 hours this morning at work and forgot about the notch until seeing this article. It really is not something you notice unless you are one of those who dwell on things you have no control over. I noticed it for about the first 5 minutes. Since then, it doesn’t even grab my attention.
That being said, I’m glad those it bothers have options now.

Using my amazing and magical powers of deduction, do your credit card numbers mainly consist of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5?! ?

Hahaha not gonna lie. It took me a moment to get it and no those are part of my phone number ? and yes, the keyboard is really prone to smudges and I wash my hands before using it and don’t allow myself to eat when I use it!
I think it’s great.. the side notch area is still being used and taking advantage of.. so Apple logic still applies.. this is why I don’t get them not making it a settings option
The menu heading is hidden behind the black notch.

Waa.
My $2,000+ laptop that I KNEW had a notch on it before I bought it has a notch on it. Waa.
Anyone wants to straight up trade my notch less late 2018 MBP for their new MBP with a notch as an even swap, inbox me and I'll pay shipping both ways.
If you don't want a notch, don't buy the darn thing. It's really that simple. I didn't want my new truck to only get 18 MPG but you don't hear me complain because it's on a giant sticker on the side window saying so and I knew what I was getting before I bought it.
It's not like Apple HID the notch from you before you bought it, telling you id didn't have a notch and then it showed up with one. It's not a stealth notch....

No they didn’t.. they’re not using a 1080p camera.. its 720p; which is the low quality everyone has been nagging Apple about for years and it is now more relevant than ever with this videoconferences being an everyday need,
It is caring about details and comfort, and striving for perfection and beyond satisfying the bare necessities, that enables certain countries to become first world in the first place.

We really need that under-the-screen camera tech to come to fruition. Seems we heard about it a lot a few years ago, and little since.
I feel it mostly the fake rounded corners that make your screen appear smaller. Try disabling those.
Seriously!?? Stop on about the notch. It’s becoming pathetic. Don’t like it? Fine don’t buy it end of. I on the other hand absolutely love my machine it’s probably the best laptop apple have ever built. I could not care less about the notch.
For real, just stop it now.

I used similar on my Pixel 3XL (the daddy of all notches) - an app called Nacho Notch. It was perfect for me after that. Good to have choices. ?
An app to raise the menu bar a couple of pixels higher so that it’s flushed with bottom of the notch is what we need. That’s more noticeable to me than the notch ??♂️
A 2 trillion $ company? One that makes some of the best hardware and software in the world and puts them in the hands of nearly billion users? Yep, truly SAD. But well done to you for noticing a notch.
