Probably any design department not too dumb to realize the notch allows for more screen space, all things equal.
You mean, like Apple? In this case Apple really wasn't the first company with a notch.
Did you ever see the “Mac vs PC” commercials?
Better a “supreme level Apple fanboy” than an Android sycophant who trolls Apple centric forums in order to keep validating their choices and remain relevant.
Nobody outside these weird forums cares about the notch. It's not even a debate.
I'm sure Apple is devastated.
The Mac vs PC commercials were hilarious, almost tongue-in-cheek with a touch of truth. The Samsung stuff is mean spirited and condescending. Big difference.
Scrolled though the video. It has the feel of a "mockumentary," and the empty seats at the reveal at the end only punctuate it. To think they are for real deserves and eye roll. Still not sure it's not a prank. Pretty sure they have zero room to take jabs at anyone if they are real. At the start of the video a talking head says there are no good smartphones on the market. Uh. Okey dokey.
Because those are among the supposed justifications for Apple getting rid of the jack, but it’s clear that having it doesn’t prevent a phone from being thin or water resistant.
Nice notch AND chin bezel lol.
For people still complaining that they want their headphone jack, why? Think about 10 years ahead. Are people still using it? It's really dated technology and completely wireless is the goal. And it works.
Also Magsafe. How could it have worked with the current macbook? Power is delivered by any four of the ports. I plug in my monitor that has a usb hub and I get power included all the devices in one port. Sure magsafe was awesome but I sure the hell wouldn't want an extra power port just for that.

Agreed. These people are just the modern equivalent of people who complained about cordless phones when you could just attach a 20 foot coil and walk around a house.
Yessss! It was hilarious to see Samsung mocking the notch of the X. They wish they could have huge line at their stores when a phone launches... Just as I said at the beginning of this thread.
Exactly! Defenders of the move like to go on about progress, but a phone with no headphone jack does absolutely nothing that one with a jack does. It is literally just a missing feature that’s marketed as an improvement, and people believe it!
So let's summarize.
1) Notch (Copy)
2) "Face Unlock" (Copy, nothing like FaceID)
3) Chin (can't figure out how to fold the oled and put the controller behind it?) (Failed Copy)
4) Keynote focused on design (Copy)
5) The presenter needs a drink of water.
Just listen to how the presenter tries to speak, watch their "ads" and it's so obvious it's a cheap knockoff of Apple's template.
So sad.

Likewise with AirPods. Gone are days of pulling a tangled mess of ear pod cord out of my pocket.

Remember, Apple always pushes toward the future and the future is wireless. They did emphasize that in their keynote. The removal of the jack was to push towards the future, it wasn't to make the phone thinner and water resistant. They did that with their Macbooks also... People were not using CDs anymore, so they took the CD-ROM off.
And the corners of the app and cut. Poorly written software that has content cutted-off due to the rounded corners.
I can see people crying when the software updates suddenly stop. I've experienced this in the past with some HTC phones.
Haha..they poke fun at Apple’s removal of the jack and copy Apple’s unnecessary notch design at the same time.
Personally I think the headphone jack needs to stay on tablets, laptops and desktops, but I can take it or leave it on a smartphone.
That ugly notch, on the other hand, is a 100% NO for me on any phone from any company.

The advantage of a slower transition is that it's less of a PITA for the users who use said tech until the newer tech becomes the standard.
That said, I personally still miss the 3.5mm jack because for me it offers certain conveniences over my BT IEMs.
