Meanwhile, if any iPhone users are wishing for the same effect, feel free to try my DIY hole-punch method:

I am very very impressed. You, AngerDanger... are amazing.
I wish they would have just gotten rid of the front camera. If Apple made a "dream display" iphone that was super expensive but had no front facing camera I would gladly use my companies money to buy it. I've only ever used my front camera to see if I have something on my face or for FaceID. To which I say put a finger print reader on the back!
Thanks! …but I already had this from a previous article about hole punch phones.
He already posted it once
Ah I missed that. Still amazing, had me laughing my ass off. Co-workers (I mean I'm not at work right now....) probably wondering what I'm doing.
This might sound silly but I find that way more distracting than the notch... I know the notch is much bigger but that hole being in the corner like that just looks weird and would bother the heck out of me watching a video..... I mean I guess people will get used to it like with everything else.
I don't care for notches. Just give me a headphone jack. Bluetooth sucks.
The notch blows, plain and simple! The Galaxy will have embedded fingerprint reader for the win. Of course the article makes no mention of that fact.
For some reason I’m picturing someone holding up their new Galaxy S10 and re-enacting the He Man transformation scene ‘By the power of SpecSkull... I have the power...’ to lag after 6 months... and not get updates after 2 years...
You still have to remove the notch. The all iPhones will look dated again after MWC in Barcelona. All the top models from manufacturers are coming with all screen OLED and better specs than Apples iPhone. On top of that they will be cheaper than an iPhone XR. And Cook is blaming the trade war with China
Proof how far he’s gone from reality
Just like last year with the release of the S9/S9 Plus cutting into sales of the iPhone X... Oh, wait, that never happened...
Never mind...
It's an interesting concept but I would have to spend a little time with it just to see how it works along with the quality of the camera.
They can already make glass that turns opaque when an electrical current is applied. I imagine Apple is already working on something where you can just turn off the pixels on the screen so all the sensors can 'see through' the glass. When the sensors aren't needed or in use then you can turn those pixels back on for a full screen display.
Is this your first experience with his prowess? The man is gif making machine!
Wait a minute... is this you, Anger?
I've had the opportunity of seeing him many many many many times. Just felt the need/felt it was my turn to express my amazement. I usually try to stay out of news articles and just read. Heh. Those things are scary! (link).
I actually want everything (all front cameras) behind the display so hopefully that comes in 2020 otherwise my note 9 will remain flawless this year and I will continue to have a fully accessible screen with no notch or punch hole although the punch hole is slightly more acceptable than a ugly notch. Anyone with a notch cannot even try to call this ugly just becuz you accepted the even uglier notches(took iFans no time to accept the ugly notch). Samsung's S10 series look gorgeous...i just don't want anything on my display or in the way of the display period(notches and punch holes).
I'd honestly rather go back to having bezels than this notch and hole nonsense. Edge to edge isn't edge to edge if there's a thing on the screen. Maybe Apple will be the first to figure this thing out.
