yes it does and very small for people coming from 6S+ or 7+ dont have a choice just to buy the 8+ or wait for the X+
Exactly, and the screen cut out is one of the main reasons I dont and will not get one.
Great observation

...then that clearly invalidates this opinion:
I don’t mind the notch at all, only time it sucks is when apps aren’t optimized
Notch doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the apps not being optimized that get annoying but I knew that going in and they will get optimized soon I’m sure. I’ve watched movies on my X and don’t have issues with it. I understand why some don’t like it. Everyone has different design ideas and likes. No one device for everyone.
No, my opinion is still valid.
Once the screen turns on the notch cut out from the screen on top will always be there and that part will be unusable screen space. Weather you like to admit it or not
For example Tapatalk. It’s smaller because it automatically scales down. Makes things smaller because it creates bezels.
This is terrible logic lol.
Just because they don’t own one doesn’t make it not true. That is absolutely what you see.
Source: I have the X. And yes, it’s a terrible design choice, regardless of whether or not people are able to get used to it.
Its total lack of logic trying to say that only people that purchase one can have an opinion on it I guess

All bezels are unusable screen space.
I've now had the phone for 2.5 days and the notch still isn't bothering me. The main source of bother is with the apps that haven't been updated for the X leaving large black borders. I hardly notice the notch at all during use.
Offcourse they are but they are not in the middle of your screen like the notch and I never had any problem with bezels for over 10 years.
But I guess now all of a sudden we cant live with bezels and have to purchase the X that has no bezel but ugly ears sticking up and uneven screen.
Not....

I am not defending the notch as I am not a fan, but the X has a bezel. Its referred to as the notch. All apple did was shorten the bezel and extend the screen around it. Some form of bezel would be needed to house the camera and sensors. Apple decided on a notch and not a full bezel.
The notch (bezel) appears to be in the middle of the screen because apple shortened this bezel and extended the screen around it. You actually gain screen space. Not the perfect design but there it is.
Yes, I heard that argument before. The notch is not missing screen, the ears are extra free screen type of thing
I dont see it like that, I rather have a bezel and an even screen.
Or maybe less screen as long as its even across.
I don't understand why a phone must have no bezels? For 9 years we have had the best phones, with bezel. The iPad Pro 10.5 is awesome, it does not need to have no bezel....
