iPhone X has overall bigger bezels, it's far from being bezel-less and in fact it has huge bezels, despite the notch.
Got a tip for us?

Apples record Q1 2018 and record guidance for Q2 2018 contradict these rumors.
I think I’ll believe Apple guidance over stupid supply chain rumors that come out every single year (and are wrong every single year).
Welcome to the forum. Glad you could join just to complain about the notch. You're the first one to do so. It's about time somebody said something negative about it.

The S9 looks like it has a bowl haircut. Also, the S9 doesn't need as much space at the top because it doesn't have Apple's infrared sensor tech used for Face ID.

Look at how stupid the Samsung S9 looks next to the iPhone X with it's non rounded display edges.

See, I can do that too.....
The screen-to-body ratio on iPhone X is about 82.9%. The “all-screen” iPhone is 17.1% not-screen. The screen-to-body ratio on Samsung’s Galaxy S9 is 84.2%.
Ha, And 5% of that 84.2% is unusable edge display.

Keep your ~1% screen to body advantage, rear fingerprint scanner, and highly reflective curved screen. I’ll keep my Face ID and flat screen.
Android users will take over the world. Well that’s what conspiracy theorists would have us believe! And talking of unfounded paranoia, my friend reckons that all the letters in this thread are written by the Macrumors staff. If that’s the case was my letter written by them as well? I wouldn’t be surprised if it had been!
Yeah, but that doesn't help someone choosing a phone right now does it.
I had read that atttributing the quality of the iPhone X display to Samsung was like attributing the quality of the Ax series of processors to Samsung.
The displays were engineered by Apple to be that good.
How much of Samsung shipping a “better” display is due to Apple engineering?
I’m genuinely asking.

All I know is the display Apple developed last year bested Samsung. Is it that unreasonable to think Samsung took some of whatever they did and applied it to their new display?

No. They don't focus on it. They don't dwell on it. The cameras and sensors had to go somewhere. Everything else is screen. Not hard to comprehend.
They don't focus / dwell on it because they've resigned themselves to it. There's nothing they can do about it so when focus / dwell on it.
Yes, the cameras and sensors had to go somewhere...they went into the notch which is, essentially, a bezel. I see no benefit to the ears so I'm puzzled what has Apple accomplished.
I think it would be unreasonable to believe that Samsung was not going to do exactly what you said. I'm sure Apple had this in mind.
It boggles the mind that if a display isn't a perfect rectangle, people lose their freakin' minds.
Is that a real question? For one, you don't want to end up in Android hell if you don't tithe. It also goes towards Tim Cook's overdue pay raise for job well done, new mega campus for incubating new innovations, trickling down to foreign workers and the benefits go on.

Nothing is private anymore. Adobe. Amazon. All of them have had data breaches. No point in whining about privacy....it doesn't exist
Give your email address a try....

Don't care... it comes down to Android vs iOS... I tried the Note 7 (didn't explode), and I can't stand Android. I will stick with iOS, even though it's locked down and not a tweakable as Android...
You seem to be confused as to what a "straw man" is.
Regardless, the point--which I'm pretty sure you got but are choosing to ignore because you like following me around here--is that as a general concept, people buy things they like, and people don't buy things they don't like. People who really, really dislike the notch aren't (for the most part) going to buy the iPhone. And that statement was made in response to this comment:
Context matters.
No, Dean, you're missing the point. See above.
And to respond to your (irrelevant) tangent for kicks, people are allowed to dislike something they haven't tried or haven't tried extensively. That's their prerogative. You might find that irrational, but guess what? Lots of people do lots of irrational things every single day.
Furthermore, not everyone has the time or the inclination to "try it" for a period of time. And not everyone can take advantage of Apple's liberal return policy; some people may be tied into carrier agreements which often are not nearly as charitable.
But like I said, this discussion is completely irrelevant with respect to my original comment.
It's got a massive bezel at the top and bottom though. You've got eyes haven't you?

Good for you man, I wouldn't but horses for courses right? The bezel loses screen size as well as now the status bar has to go below it, where as all that data gets pushed into the ears on the iPhone.
For once Apple went for function over form, it's a great idea.

1. It was a joke.
And 2. It is anything other than dumb see above.
