You can still do that with you current phone.

Wait till you see one pluses next phone (just announced) with no notch and no holepunch. Jus a slab of screen with thin bezels.
Got a tip for us?

There's a thing called symmetry. I wouldn't expect left brained folks to understand the importance of design anyway...
A big part of the notch is a speaker, which no one needs. It's not like we talk on the phone anymore, and even if we do, the speaker can be anywhere, it doesn't need to be in the screen.
Of course you cannot satisfy everyone. Many would prefer a punch hole and a fingerprint under the screen. Some people want a traditional telephone speaker, most don't.

Two parts of course, slide the back up for the camera. Seems like regression to me.
You might have a point, if, you know, the iPhone didn't have the big notch on the top of the screen.
And another iPhone XR killer at almost half the price. With OLED, 128 gb memory and more... I’m curious what the price would be if it came with Apple logo 
Am I the only adult on this planet who didn't care about forehead or chins, and doesn't want full glass fronts or curved edges?
Looking at the comments, now I understand why Apple can keep increasing the prices and fanboys will still buy whatever it’s selling
“No one needs that level security”? Says one person on a tech site. That’s an interesting statement, because the way I see it, Apple is leading the way in terms of providing the _highest_ level of security with Face ID and 3-D facial mapping, to protect the consumer and and clearly is leading the way when other manufacturers are following Apples footsteps in terms of developing their own facial mapping recognition.
for DSLR's, the benefit isn't necessarily in the resolution (though high resolutions are nice).
Camera's are very physics bound. the smaller the sensor the less light overall hits it. DSLR's are big and bulky often with large lenses because they let in a tremendous amount of light, with large sensors to catch it.
it's not unheard of to have lower resolution, older DSLR's still outperform anything a smartphone can produce, purely because of the volume of light they allow for.
Just remember, that in Cameras and photography, Resolution is not the biggest factor in photo quality.
I'd almost guarantee not. How do I know? Actual iPhone X and XS owners know the notch is a non-issue. It's people that don't even own an iPhone with a notch that highly exaggerate the notch.
This is being offered at launch in the UK with a free smartwatch. More than enough phone for most people with a free half decent watch for 25% less than an iPhone XR? They will sell plenty of these. Huawei/Honor is hugely popular here.

Are you saying that people need to get HIV to know that it's bad and they don't want it? Guess not everyone has the capacity to visualize but with electronics you can actually demo it in person before committing to buying.
The way I see it it similar to going to a theater to watch a movie and deciding what is more annoying, some guy's head in the corner blocking the screen (hole punch) or a bus parked sideways in center (wide notch).

And I, sir, will take a small forehead and a small chin over the notch and terrible reachability any day.
I agree that the hole punch isn’t bad, but the chin is stupid as hell. With both combined I prefer the notch (although I would love to see the notch go away).
