It's not.

Because everybody with an iPhone X forgets about the notch within the first hour of use. That's why the notch isn't an issue. But I guess that it's easy to tell people that you won't get an X because of the notch instead of telling them the real reason...
You’ve been sleeping too long. It was already released last year. It’s called the iPhone 8.
And in unrelated news, the iPhone's fragility design flaw goes completely unchanged, as anything of importance to the consumer months after unboxing and after the shine wears off is of little interest to Apple. Now your phone's glass can break when housed in a red housing too!
I have the Dark Aubergine leather case on my Space Grey iPhone 8 Plus and it looks great. I think a Midnight Blue case would pretty well mimic that blue iPhone image.
Well there have been reports they had issues manufacturing it so I am guessing the decision was made to go forward only with Space Grey and Silver and once they got the manufacturing worked out, release it then. And it sounds like they may have done so.
That’s one way to boost X sales heading toward the summer, a new color that may be too tempting for the ladies to wait until September.
Ditto. I'm not buying a phone with a notch. Be an iPhone or an Android. That is simply not going to happen.
That'll be $2000/US only exclusive.

Too masc for them.I don't understand why Apple is so afraid of the color blue. I want.
I have a PR 7+ and the red finish on the aluminum back is gorgeous. By far my favorite color of any iPhone from any generation.
I think I would be in on a PR X and maybe the 8+ (it's a hard sell over a 7+). That brilliant red finish under nice shiny glass would pop even more.

I think Blush Gold doesn’t have to be a female color. Apple is very neutral with their colors with their iPhones, and I think it doesn’t make a difference which gender chooses what color. I think if they do have a refreshed color, I think that is a smart move to at least have more options to gain some additional traction.
It's not.

And I won't buy a phone with more than 2 speaker holes, less than 6 buttons, assymetrical usb-port and whatever other arbitrary thing i can imagine that doesn't intrude one single bit. But keep telling yourself the notch is an issue even though every iPhone X user will tell you that they never notice it and that it's not an issue... We (the owners) are all lying...
The notch is not a notch. It is a bezel that does not go across the entire top of the device. It allows for more screen real estate by filling in the corners with screen and lifting the clock and indicators out of the main display area.
I'm pretty sure he refers to a version that doesn't look like the same phone that was released 4 years ago.

You just described a notch.
No. I described a bezel. A notch implies part of the screen was removed. It wasn’t. Part of a screen was added. That’s the difference.
Playing with words is cute and all, but it's still a notch that cuts out a functional piece of the display in full-screen apps.
if you are going to put it in a protective case, does it matter? Are you bold enough to use it naked? I’m not.
It's not.

I don't concern myself with what an average iPhone X user may think. I don't like the notch, end of story. As long as there's phones with no notch, I'll consider those.
All this hate ovee a functional area of the iPhone? The Notch is a non issue except for you design wonks, who can’t seem to comprehend that the technology is not in place for embedded camera arrays in the screen, under display fingerprint readers and all the other pipe dreams you people seem to have... I love my iPhone X notch is actually kinda cool to me as it differentiates iPhone X from the rest. And as we see now all the other manufacturers have followed suit on building a notch to make an all screen phone.
