This is not true. There are plenty of devices out there that are nearly bezel-less, and don't have a notch. I'll let you do your own research though. Good luck!

Perhaps it’s a little too convenient a no track record reddit account suggests a notch and the very next day an image purporting the same is discovered
Notch or no notch — it won’t impact my productivity on the machine.
On the topic of the bezel though, looking at my old iPad 3, having consistent thickness around the screen is more pleasing to my eyes even if it means a thicker bezel.

Maybe that Intel ad really was a genuine social experiment?
Also, I don’t know how they would implement the menu bar if there is unusable space in the middle of it. Some aps use almost all of it.
We’ve seen this play before - ahem square Watch7 anyone?! Same claims as here but nothing
and no I don’t believe the bs that was really ever going into production and faced production issues. A block on the wrist is dumb by all means including a fitness health focused smart watch.
How come MacRumors consistently editorialises on this issue with words like “sketchy”, yet will also routinely publish the claims of Prosser et al. as if they’re reliable when they have persistently and blatantly failed so many times?
I am going to get work done so much faster on this. Notch or no notch.
I don't know, I can think of lots of really dumb things. Like that rubber knob the PCs put in the middle of the keyboard. In any case, I'm in the antinotch crowd. Both on computers and my iPhones. Even worse than the notch is the white swipe up ribbon on the iPhone. I never want to see that hideous distracting thing. I'm sure Apple is smart enough to add an option to keep it off. But clearly they know more than I do.
I loved the trackpoint on my thinkpads back in the day, but everyone I showed it to hated it.
Unfortunately, all of the NeXT guys are long gone, retired or otherwise.
Since you're all "bring back the iMac G4 team", this is your notch alternative.
On this one, we can agree! I was a fan of the trackpoint as well. They seemed really advanced when they first launched.
Unlike the iOS, macOS has plenty of blank space across the top of the interface. So what is the big deal? On an iPhone it is taking up expensive real estate, on a Mac it is way out in an undeveloped rural field. I don’t see the problem. Assuming this so-called rumor/guess is even accurate…
Didn’t Jony Ive oversee the design of the iPhone X, which introduced the notch?
That said, I think a notch would be more jarring in MacOS than iOS.
It seemed like a superior alternative to apple when they removed headphone jack and reduced amount of ports
