Oh really? The notch is the number one reason why I don't buy an iPhone. It just bothers me too much, can't stand it visually. Both Xiaomi and Oppo have come out with phones with zero notches or holes and yet have faceID.
I agree ive gone case less since iPhone 4 2010.
But this should only bother people that don't already have their phones in cases which makes the camera flush with it. It does both me a little because of the way it wobbles on a table but that's about it. I don't notice or see it otherwise.

How thick is the iPhone and how thick is the lid of the MacBook? See?
Yes, it’s an issue, but it’s still okay
I mean in general I share my screen to show documents
As someone said above, the screen of the MacBook is really thin, it’s really hard to put a good camera in this
Huawei approach to have a key in the keyboard dedicated is really nice in my opinion, the angle is bad but it allows to have a better camera + better screen ratio, also the majority doesn’t use their camera that often so it’s nice to be safe and have it hidden
that's laughable. The home button was needed. The notch was never needed and will be gone when the tech is there.
Think about it. This will get people to upgrade to notchless phone. Apple might of done it on purpose because of leveling out of phone sales. It will push people into the new phone even if there isn't much new tech inside.
All apple needs to keep is the logo on that back really the only brand they ever wanted.
If they can remove the notch on the iPad, then they can remove it on the iPhone. Apple will milk the smaller notch design for 3 years then by 2024 will go notchless.
Hes reliable, he said when the new iPad Pro’s were coming out. He has a source at Apple.
I don’t mind the notch, I’ve had it since day one. I prefer the notch over a different sized bezels(chin or forehead) there isn’t a phone out there that has equal sized bezels all the way around. It’s never gotten in the way of my content, and I don’t notice it unless I look for it.
What does excite me, is that a smaller notch means redesigned faceid sensors and hopefully that means faster and more orientations.

I'd just like to see the screen go further towards the edges, and the edges be a little less rounded...
Personally always thought the opposite, it allowed you to mostly keep your structured grid of icons, but resizing them at your pleasure, depending on how much you used them or wanted to see at a glance without opening the app. Of course if you prefer I'm sure you can just keep it as it is now, too!
Home Screen Widget 'Blocks' Imagined in New iOS Concept
One of the more popular feature requests from iOS users has been live widgets for the home screen, similar to Live Tiles on Windows Phone and Widgets...

Once you let the cameras out, there's no getting it back in.
They could replace it but the notch will still be there, it won't get any smaller. Who actually knows if they didn't already do it on the 12 Pro
If it were "perfect" it would sit flat. Perfect by definition is "without flaws". That is a flaw. Apple makes great things, but I'm not going to blindly accepting faults/flaws as perfection just so I can be on the Apple team. I am willing to bet there is nobody driving home the standards to the level as the early days. Nobody is holding up the phones because the white around the screen does not match the button anymore.
Also my wobbly iPhone on my desk when I tap it is just not cool at all.
I also love the notch and glad to see it smaller.
I hated the concept of it, because I thought we were "losing" part of the screen. Once I got the X and actually used it, I found you had a full screen, but this was an additional area - like how some phones have a screen on the edge. I like having a small area for connection info and battery.
I'd like to see the notch a little smaller so that the screen on the sides would have more room to show even more things. I use a VPN for work a lot and I'd love it if I could see if it is connected or not up there all the time versus having to swipe down to look. So yeah - I love the notch and just want it smaller. I don't think it is an eyesore. I think the different look kind of separates that it isn't an active part of the screen.
Many people here claimed that the wide notch gave iPhone an "iconic look". iPhone 12 won't have that iconic look anymore. It will look like your typical Android smartphone.
I like the smaller notch, although the notch has never bothered me. Not sure I will upgrade my 11 Pro this year though. It’s still super fast, exceptional cameras, and fantastic OLED display, and will most certainly feel like the iPhone 12 with iOS 14 coming. I’m more excited about the software. Hardware has peaked in many ways, just smaller and smaller incremental changes.
As far as widgets, I am happy to see those are coming. I liked those way back in the day (2008 and 2009) when I had an Android phone. I could see some use for those. I use the current widgets on my iPhone and iPads now.

I believe, that's because people over time came to acknowledge the trade off and learned to deal with it. That doesn't mean most won't welcome it being gone when the tech is ready. And many outside of tech forums and reddit aren't as invested in tech/smartphones. So they probably won't voice their complaints much even if they had one.
