It’s not cutting into view when watching videos.

It causes a whole lot of issues, especially the way apple implemented it and wants to "embrace" the notch. like it cutting into the view when watching videos - either that or you sacrifice large part of screen real estate.This is just one example but that alone probably was enough for various departments to say no please don't. But marketing is strongest in apple these days.

What do you gain from the notch, besides being different and recognisable? Name me one thing please.

I can name eight: one for each of the camera lenses, emitters, and sensors enclosed in that notch.

I’m sorry you don’t like the looks of it (indeed, you don’t need to buy the phone if it bugs you so much) but it’s not a design or engineering flaw. This “flaw” has evidently been vindicated by Huawei and Asus, both of which have elected to design “notched” phones. I’m sure they won’t be the last, either.

The notch doesn’t cut into a video that hasn’t already been cropped by virtue of the fact that you zoomed into it in the first place. If you’d like to view a landscape mode video without a notch, in its native aspect ratio, that option is available to you and, in just about every application I can think of, is the default.

Do you actually own the iPhone X? If so, I wonder why, given the way the notch troubles you so. If not, I’d suggest suggest to you that I don’t even think about it, and but for this thread, would never have thought that it still needed a defense against people claiming that it was some marketing gimmick like the TouchBar.

Apple wanted to release a new phone with as much screen area as possible. To do that, their engineers had to make a compromise. You don’t like it, buy an iPhone 8 and wait until a sensor array can be integrated into the display in some other fashion. Try not to lose any more sleep over it.

He specifically said a design flaw not a functionality flaw. It is a design flaw because it contradicts Apple's own basic human interface design guide. Having a notch cut out of a full frame picture or video? That would have been simply unacceptable in Apple's (former) design style book, and should be unacceptable in Apple's style book now.

I 100% agree. There must have been a lot of internal strife at Apple to allow an iPhone with a notch to go out the door.

You can’t make the above statement statement:


And then make this statement listed below stating that “Apple doesn’t like it”. Unless your an Apple engineer, you can’t cite reasons why unless you understand the technological changes. It’s just you personally don’t agree with the Notch and its implementation. You’re conflating two different things.

It’s called you have choices, if you don’t like the nature of Apples design implementation, that’s the nature of how this company is . They make changes not everybody agrees with when it comes to the 30 pin connector being changed, deleted 3.5 mm Jack, the notch, etc.

Apple is not afraid to take the risk other companies won’t do and when they do, Apple is chastised for the decisions they make. Long term, other manufactures tend to follow their own footsteps. I give Apple credit for making the changes they do that no one else will in most cases, but it doesn’t make them any less successful of company because of what not everybody agrees with.

Also, I don’t necessarily believe more consumers are accepting once the hype dies down about something controversial with the deleted 3.5 mm Jack or the notch design , I think people simply move on because you can’t sit and complain forever about what one company did. Technology moves so fast, you either accept or move on to something that meets the consumers expectations.

It’s not a design flaw. You think Apples engineers who Who are paid millions of dollars to design something failed at the concept of what it executes to do? I don’t Understand what’s difficult for others to accept that the notch exists because the technology is not a advanced far enough yet to reduce or eliminate it all together.

Not to mention, I’m not sure how you can specifically say it contradicts Apples own basic human interface design, when They don’t follow a specific pattern because they changed a physical feature based on a technological advancements for security purposes.

They could have just put TouchID on the side button like the Razer Phone. Then it could have truly been "all screen" iPhone.
