Notch Solution

The notch is what makes the iPhone X recognizable and original. If the status bar was all black, it would just look like all the rest 18:9 phones, like the Galaxies or LG.
Also, they would have to make thicker bottom bezels because Apple likes proportions.

Nobody really likes it because nobody likes a notch on their tvs, ipads, laptops, computer monitors or movie theater screens.
Agree and apple fans on here try to defend it. It's pretty sad. I'm a huge fan and I will say Apple made the wrong choice with the notch
Indeed. We used to see regular posts here about folks being irritated by one teeny-tiny dead pixel on their screens.
The notch seems like lazy design to me. Apple should've pushed themselves harder to conceal the sensors.
Just like whoever designed this stadium seat layout should've tried a little harder. Who wants an obstructed view?

"Without that post how would you know you're at a _____ game? Otherwise it would look like all the other games."
Hahaha. That's like saying "Everyone else already has the perfect design. I don't want to have the same perfect design like everyone else, so I create a flaw to stand out from everyone else."

Agent Mulder, you're fired
That solution stinks. First off, a lot of people hate the notch because it’s “unapple like” to not have it symmetrical (and therefore “ugly”.) Your solution fails just as bad. The top corners are WAY different to the bottom corners, and isn’t any more symmetrical that the notch visible. Secondly, permanently blacking out the top just hide the notch defeats the whole purpose of the screen design (of reaching to the edge and at the corners being perfectly shaped to match the shape of the iPhone itself.)
I don't want them too and I hope they don't . if you dont like the notch , either embrace it or switch platforms because this is the future design of iOS mobile devices

Apple HAS patents to put everything in the notch underneathe the screen. However...technology. You can’t jait whip something up out of thin air. The tech needs to be developed, tested and ready for mass market. That takes time. You can bet that it will eventually be their end game. But for now we have the notch. Which btw is not even remotely close to as bad as people are making it out to be. I personally embrace it
I really really really hope not. How many rectangular shaped screens do you view content on that have some random notch sticking out of the bezel or frame into the content you’re viewing?
It would be a bad decision.
Some facts on the ground
The primary use of apps for the most part is portrait mode . in portrait mode the notch separates the ears which provide the status views and time , below the notch is the app content and that is all rectangular shaped
Another fact , very few people use apps which are not games or media horizontally and very few use it for the web browser , look around and your own world around you stat will tell you the same
Another reality , that video and photos in horizontal mode are shown up to the point before the notch starts as a default and you only see the notch if you zoom in to them
Games which use horizontal mode can move around notch as the delivered view is dynamic colors which can conform to around notch
Fact, everything you’ve listed could’ve been done without having an obtrusive notch. Reality is the “full” screen media viewing experience is worse than smaller screens without a notch.
I literally just played nba2k17 on my 7 plus, you have to play it in horizontal mode like many other console level iOS games, and am glad there is no notch blocking some of my content.
Yes, but. A few more facts that have been on the ground since 2008:

Clearly, that's not happening. I guess the masses have spoken and the notch is acceptable.
