I do not understand the 'notch' angst at all.

[Applejuiced]

In other words you're compromising because a device manufacturer tells you this and that is better and revolutionary and magical and you just whip your card out
Not me, I know what I like and what I don't like and not willing to waste my money because that's the best they can do cause they have to fit a camera somewhere etc...
The notch does not look "cool".

I don’t like OLED, it’s a compromise because we don’t have HoloDisplays.

I don’t like lightning because we should have USB-D

I don’t like that the new iPhone doesn’t fly.

I mean. I think the notch looks cool, I don’t understand why people have to throw this in my face and tell me I ‘don’t know about design’.

I think right angled corners on screens are going to look very dated in a few years.

It’s not about ‘liking the notch’ as it is ‘thinking the notch looks much much better than a black bar across the top’.
All these people suggesting Apple make some LG-looking wackphone, that’s what I don’t get.

Well thank god that your thoughts are all objective facts and mine are just the mindless grass-chewing bleatings of an iSheep.

Baa baa iSheep
Have you any notch?
Yes sir yes sir
First buy Apple Watch
One for the brother
One for the wife,
Buy enough iProducts and pretend you have a life

Haha I like the X though, god help me vv

 

[Applejuiced]

Lol
Not really, we're both stating our opinions and preferences that's all.
I been using smartphones for over 10 years and now all of a sudden cause Apple said so I must have a completely bezel free device and bezels suck?
And because I now must comply with Apples new "magical" and "revolutionary" new standard I must tolerate a screen with a notch missing out from the top?
Not

Yeah don’t worry, I see your point of view and it’s valid, I just don’t share it.

This is not an image of a receding hairline it’s a picture of two forehead extensions.
You have to let people know you have a hairline so that’s why there’s the hair dipping down in the middle.

if we are to believe that Apple blurb:

Using innovative folding and circuit stacking technology, the OLED panel follows the curves of the device into the farthest reaches of the corners. Then it uses a process called subpixel anti-aliasing to tune individual pixels for smooth, distortion-free edges.
​

think i think the hairline analogy might be better with this cut:

...but yeah, i get your jab.. nice one

Whether you see a notch or ears IMO version 1 is a “cleaner” design especially since the optimal user experience is to not have any media flow into the “ears”. Version 1 visually directs the user to pay attention to everything below the notch. The 2nd version makes the notch stick out like a widows peak.

View attachment 726824

You may think it's a 'cleaner' design, I think the ears look cleaner as it makes the bezels look smaller, not only that but you have lost display now by using rounded corners unnecessarily just like all the other Android phones, in other words you want Apple to look like Android phones. I can understand that but but that's never going to happen, it's always the other way around.
[doublepost=1508808567][/doublepost]

Apple themselves even state the screen is 5.85 before corners. So your math is dead on.

Excellent spot sort of puts paid to the desperate claims that Apple were misleading people.

Why you're so mad? That's not how you have a discussion at a forum by telling others that they're annoying and to shut up.

There’s a difference been discussiing and watching you constantly complain about a device you are NOT buying.

I just hope that that liquid wallpaper used in the promotional video (and that screenshot showing off the corner) will actually be a thing on the 10.

 

[inscrewtable]

I simply pointed out the error in the post I quoted. I have no idea what you are trying to say with Samsung, Xiaomi, or a vent on "relevancy."

What I'm saying is what is your point in saying the X screen is slightly smaller than the Plus? What point are you making.

 

[Applejuiced]

I can do that as much as I want at a discussion forum wether you like it or not
I don't need to be buying it to post my point of view.

[doublepost=1508810461][/doublepost]Try doing the same thing to your tv and cut off the top.
That would be way cooler

two things..

1) i don't have a TV
2) the iPhone is not a TV.. and not used in anywhere near similar fashion or distances as a TV

i mean, i get your (and others) comparisons to other types of displays.. but at the same time, i think it's worthwhile to consider the dissimilarities as well.

There’s a block feature. If he’s out of line there’s also a report feature.

This isn’t me saying that I agree with your opinion, but you do have options. If you feel all he does is complain you clearly feel his opinion isn’t worth your time. Either scroll on by, or if you can’t, block his posts from even being seen. It’s really that simple.

 

[Applejuiced]

Exactly.
Don't get stressed out, there's the block option if you cannot tolerate others views.
Trust me I won't get offended

You do realize that the radius used with the iPhone X ears plus the notch actually cuts off more of a full screen image than the first version I posted right?

Not really sure what you're getting at. The ears are not content area. Seriously no one care about notch whinging. You don't like, don't buy.

That video showing the iPhone X makes the fanboy in me forget about all of the reasons the notch is a poor way to implement the cameras and sensors and just hand Apple my credit card... even though the information displayed in the ears aren’t centered but that’s ok!

Is there content in the “ears” in this pic? Yes or no?

There sure is. And as has been pointed out numerous times, if someone cares about the notch protruding into their media, they're not likely to be zoomed in on the image in the first place. Not only are you losing picture "under" the notch, you're losing picture above and below as well.

You either care about the original composition or you don't and zoom in and lose tons of other image regardless of the notch. If you're already willing to toss out the top and bottom of your movie, you have very little room left to complain that another part of the picture is missing. Then you're just turning into "I want to see every last pixel lit up on my display regardless of how it destroys the image". While I know such people exist, I do my very best to avoid them. They're just annoying with their blatant disregard for how things actually work, logic, technology and such.

The only people who will have a ruined image are those who intentionally do it to themselves.

What is your point you have ENLARGED the video so that the TOP and BOTTOM are cropped off which is what will happen if you try and force the video to go under the sensors and into the ears which are not meant for content. You MAY do that if you wish, but then what's the point in complaining about missing some video when you CHOOSE to crop it top and bottom!

What is the point you're trying to make. The iPhone X screen ratio UNDERNEATH the sensors is 2:1 and all movies except 1:2.39 will fit top and bottom without even coming close to the notch. Why would you choose to crop a movie and then complain that you're missing some movie? I just don't get it.
