The iPhone and iPads are the same shape? I thought the iPhone was not only smaller but much narrower.
Got a tip for us?

Stop working? I'm really unlucky in things like needing a charge happening at the most inopportune times.
Most of us don’t work 700 hours without taking a break. For those of you who do, it’s 2 minutes for nine hours of charge.
We're all customers of Apple, and I'm sure they want our money, and I have money to spend. I haven't decided what else I'm going to buy instead if there's a notch, but I know it wont be an Apple product. Probably something light.
iPad's and Apple watch's are about all I would continue buying from Apple.
We are only their customer because we buy their products. That has little influence on who they design for.
A webcam (and mic and light sensor) can require a notch if there’s no bezel. That’s not complicated.
I never have either, but there are times I have worked fixing something where I couldn't stop until it was done. And that's exactly when my luck would have it fail, right in the middle of something critical.
I disagree, every customer should be at least thought of, who knows, you may be able to please more people and gain market share, thus making even more money, for you and your shareholders.
You hold an iPad Pro, so you need space for your fingers

One more time for the people in the back: YOU HOLD AN IPAD PRO, SO YOU NEED SPACE FOR YOUR FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!
*Clears throat*
You hold an iPad in multiple orientations.

Seriously!
The border on the iPad has to be at least a little thick so you can hold it without random inputs coming from the sides of your fingers and hands. You don’t hold a MacBook by the lid, you don’t touch the MacBook screen, and you don’t flip the MacBook into Portrait.
That is why a notch makes sense on a MacBook, which stays in one orientation, and where you can make the border as thin as possible with very little practical trade-offs
You can't think about the needs of every customer. Every 'new feature' that's added to appease one person alienates another customer.
Apple, for years, felt it was more important than anyone could pick up any Apple device and use it as if it was their own. Customization has ruined that. People think they have the right to customize their device and every change they make undermines the simplicity of the device.
As long as IT signs off, it’s totally ok. You might want to think a bit more internationally on a global level.
But yeah, each company have a slightly different set of rules. And in many cases, employees don’t choose anything, they’re supplied with hardware without having much of a choice. Every now and then companies don’t care, but luckily that’s rare and I’ve only seen it a couple of times back in my industry days doing projects in over 70 countries and many with Apple.
An attempt, but no cigar. Future trolling attempts would be best served by omitting giveaways like “needs of the device”.
Wait, you don’t? Uhm, ok. Everyone will though when the iPad Book Pro arrives in a couple of years and “you’re going to love it”.

Woo hoo! Congratulations on hitting the 1000. 🏆I’d much rather have a small notch like the iPhone than this “digital bezel” that’s been rumored. Sounds horrible
Also, 1000
No!!!
People, please read previous replies before commenting!
In Monterey, in full screen, the menu bar is always visible.
Therefore, if there is a notch, if you go into full screen, your full screen app will not go into the notch, because that is where the menu bar is. So you’ll have Notch with menu bar, and then a regular display with your full screen apps beneath that.
So basically, you’ll have the regular MacBook Pro 16/10 Display that we have had for years, and then “on top of that” you’ll have extra display.
The notch Area is an *addition* to the regular area, it’s not part of the regular area.
