Ok, so what is it: (a) annoying or (b) ugly? And if (b), why are all the other tabs in your life not ugly?
Wasn’t that answered in the post you quoted?

In his first post he talked about ugliness and how it looks. When I then pointed out elements with the shape of notch have been ubiquitous in computing for a long time (ie, it couldn't such an ugly thing that was a deal killer), he changed his point against the notch to be about the impracticality (and the resulting annoyance), based on it blocking one edge of a video (in landscape).Wasn’t that answered in the post you quoted?
I want the best possible camera and battery life but I don’t want OLED or Face ID. So I guess there will be nothing for me to buy after the 8 Plus for many years. Better make it last.
I'm chill bro. This article is about the future, and I'm talking about Apple's long-term plans.lol. Its been 5 months since the 8 Plus came out bro. Take a chill pill, put your wallet in a locked safe or something.
At first I missed TouchID when I got my X. Nearly a month later, whenever I use my 6s (which I still have) or my iPad mini 4, it’s TouchID that doesn’t feel “natural” to me or at least like something’s not right. In other words, I’ve apparently adapted to the X. The home button on my 6s feels like a keyboard on a Blackberry or numpad on a flip phone, a relic of the tech past. My 6s still makes a great backup iPhone, but the X is definitely a level above it.I just don't think spending $1300 on a phone is worth it even though the display is sick. I don't mind spending $3k on a MacBook that I will get several years of use out of but I usually switch phones after two years and for me it's not really worthwhile. The 7 plus does everything I need it to and until that changes with some killer feature, I will continue to use it. Face ID is really not it. I actually prefer Touch ID and the way the home button works instead of pulling up cards to multitask. I guess iPhone X users get used to it like anything new, but it just doesn't feel natural to me.
That said, I've grown to not miss having the Function keys on a notebook. I actually love the Touch Bar with it's application specific buttons as well as its customization. Though I can see how it can be frustrating for those whose work relies on using the function keys all the time.
The 6.1 inch will be quite a bit smaller than the iphone 8 plus, but a little larger than the current iphone x, so....
The x plus will be about the same physical size as an 8 plus, but with a bigger screen, so...
I am confident that the notch was a design sacrifice and mark my words, in a few years they will get rid of it and acknowledgement of this sacrifice will be admitted only then.
You're assuming people will actually stay within the ecosystem for that long. I think that the majority of people who wanted an iPhone X already have one, and the rest are lukewarm at best to its questionable design cues.
If the next batch of iPhones is as disappointing as the current generation, then the odds of me staying with an iPhone of some sort are greatly diminished. After 8 years of exclusively using iPhones and 10 years of using iOS, there is a very high probability that my next phone will be made by Samsung.
Let me get this straight. The majority here are already making their purchase decisions based on a research note published on January 28th??
The ONLY thing I believe is that Apple will produce a flagship model to compete with the Note... Otherwise...
Lol. That’s like putting a mound of poo on the front of a bmw to “differentiate” it from other brands. The notch is there because the technology cost is too expensive to put it under the screen. There are better ways to differentiate the iPhone than a notch.

Umm, the shape isn't the problem. The problem is that there's a big hole in the screen that literally cuts out portions of videos when you're watching them. It is extremely annoying.
This is very bad. And the keynote will have them touting this as the greatest bargain ever, they will mention LED screens in the rundown at the end. Literally stepping BACKWARDS from their progress.

You don't remove features that those with LCD iPhone customers already have.
I don't see how it could be 6.5 inch. That would bigger than the current Plus outside dimensions.
I hope they go a little smaller for the OLED Plus.
A 6.5” version of the X wouldn’t need to be any taller or wider than the 8 Plus. However, it might be thicker and it would probably be heavier.This thing sounds like it will be gigantic. I wish they would keep roughly the same dimensions as the Plus and make it all screen. I like the idea of a bigger screen, but this is "won't fit in my pocket" territory. Folding screens can't come soon enough.
What about using 3Dtouch while relocating the cursor while typing, how is that replicated without 3dtouch? That’s the most important feature for me and many others and is second nature. Remove that capability and it’s a massive downgrade.Why not? It’s a nice feature to have but by no means necessary, and many of its benefits can be recreated within apps with a long press which is good enough for most people. iPhone X and X Plus will be next Years flagships, SE 2 on the low end, Apple has to keep the midrange model price attractive.

That’s what I meant. Apple would have to find an alternative as it’s a pretty fundamental feature for people who type a lot of their phones, essentially emails. Not having it would be a serious loss after getting used to it for the past three years.That's incorrect. You're not using "touch ID" to move the cursor, you're using 3D Touch on the display to hold down a Digital numeric to move the cursor.
If 3D Touch was not replicated on a device that no longer supports it in the future, then you would have to use the magnifying movement to move the cursor, unless Apple implements some other iOS feature otherwise.
‘IF’ they know it exists then. I know it exists and practically every iPhone user I know knows it exists so for them it would be a very missed feature.That is, IF someone actually has knowledge of what it is. Most have no idea how to move the cursor by using the 3D Touch option holding down a numeric Digital key.
However, you can't say that's a "Massive downgrade" if someone doesn't even know that the Digital cursor exists to begin with. I have told others about the digital cursor and they had no idea what it is, because they're not tech oriented to even figure it out and Apple doesn't really highlight this feature. So it can't be a massive downgrade if they didn't know about it to begin with.
