What a ridiculous false equivalency. If you want to just post extremes, there's nothing more to discuss. If I wasn't clear, my apologies - the notch, as it is, is a fair tradeoff for what we do get with the phone. That is, as close to bezel-less as we can get without sacrificing the camera, earpiece, and an alternative to entering a password to unlock.
I'm pretty sure you are not getting my point, which has nothing to do with the website you linked.
Oh no, I get your point quite well.
Fine, I’ll take the bait. It’s a render, based on blurry photos and descriptions of journalists who handled the actual device.
I get it, you hate the notch. However, you’re grasping at straws a bit.
$1300 is the current Canadian price... withOUT tax!
Isn't ludicrous Apple will one day soon be charging $2000 -- the price of a s-box used car your freshman college kid scrapes money to buy just to get around -- for a phone Apple damn well knows is a product a big chunk of Apple extremists (aka diehard customers) will vow to replace every year?
It's like an S&M game, with Apple getting off on seeing how much they can get away with.
Notch-it, don't notch-it. Why yearly upgrades? :/

It's almost like: introduce a problem and remove the problem to sell it as innovation. Reminds me of what they did to Pages...
That’s patently false. There has to be a stopgap at some point where A commodity like an iPhone is no longer affordable, and it no where near Verge On $2,000. Your post is direct reason why it’s not believable or remotely true.
Which then will make most users who wasted 1500$ or more for an iPhone think about how they just trashed their money at that time.

Yes and that works...
Take out the headphone jack then sell AirPods to increase average revenue-per-phone accordingly. Give away lightning buds but then roll out new Macs without a Lightning jack. Embrace USB3C on Macs as the "one port to rule them all" but cling to Lightning on iDevices for it's profitable licensing and accessories business. Audio connection fragmentation for no consumer gain at all (AirPods would work with iPhones WITH a headphone jack. Lightning buds would too).
Make the phone thinner & thinner then sell an add-on battery case (rather than keep the "nobody complains" thickness and filling the space with more battery).
Make the back of a brand new phone out of fragile glass, which practically begs for some kind of case add-on or $5XX in repairs if damaged.
Strip away all common-use ports from Macs and then sell an add-on dongle so that we can buy our way back to being able to connect our computers to just about anything else.
Secretly throttle, get caught, spin how it's "for our customers" and then "innovate" a software solution so that users can opt to throttle themselves or not.
Jack up the price and roll out a payment plan, driving the faithful to spin to others "only $8.XX more per month" to help sell fellow consumers on any price increase. Creatively expand the time and even a $2000 iPhone can be "only $8.XX per month."
The trick is: We BUY it (literally & figuratively). And then we'll get after other consumers for daring to notice and not just happily complying with whatever Apple wants us to do. We even sling "...but who makes the most profitable ______" and celebrate reports of "record profits" like we win something.
Welcome to the Appleverse.
And I'm STILL waiting for the new Pages to fully catch up to remarkable Pages 09... EIGHT YEARS LATER.

This makes the most sense, nobody with half a brain thinks the notch was a feature, it was a design compromise. They will phase it out asap as it is hideous (subjective) and a constant reminder that Apple couldn't realize it's original goal. I will buy another iPhone as soon as it's gone, looks like I might only have to wait out another year. That is fine, my 8 plus is more than good until next year.
Exactly, which is VERY different.
We rather have notch than iPhone 8 or older .. but iPhone X with no notch? COME TO PAPA
But I always heard the Notch was there on purpose so it would become the new identity "home button" of the new iPhone line?
Good summary of Apple lately. Sad, very sad.Yes and that works...

Last year I'd have said the same thing about a phone starting at £1000 yet here we are.
I want to see a phone with an notch on both the top and bottom. Either that or a rainbow notch in the style of the old logo.
That’s actually something to consider. If the iPhone which comes out next year looks pretty much like most Android phones, sales may be negatively affected unless Apple comes up with something else to make it stand out in a crowd. Not that the notch was the best way, but I’m sure Apple is keen on adding something which let’s everyone in close proximity to the iPhone know exact what it is, “advertising” it. I’m not sure this “half-step” to a notchless iPhone next year is legit. I think Apple will try to get some more mileage out of the current FaceID module, at the very least with the 6.1” LCD iPhone (iPhone 9?).
So you went from the link we were talking about to a completely different link and yet I don't see what's your point with this?
Now you’re just trolling. Oh wait, you’ve been doing that all along and I fell for it. Enjoy your night.
