There is a 100% chance that the status bar icons do not 'scroll'. Think about that for a moment. Casually look at your screen and imagine status bar icons scrolling up top. Have you ever imagined anything more distracting than that? Didn't think so.
Got a tip for us?

the idiocracy of the iPhone 8 bezel cutout design in all those dummies and mockups

Rumours are rumours. Call it a leak if you like but Apple have always done s model one year and new number the next.
Whatever you wanna argue fact is there are no facts and we know nothing.

Not on Samsungs latest phones..you can utilize full screen on any apps and make the buttons translucent and disappear with a swipe...thanks...no loss of screen real estate.
Starting to find Infiniverse48 posts humorous. He's so sure of everything - & why wouldn't he be - as he posts from Steve Jobs theatre.
Two things, firstly if you have ever written constraints in xcode then you can imagine how much of a pain in the balls a cutout like we are seeing would be.
Secondly the creation of an OLED panel with a cutout would be be hard work (bus wiring would be a pain).
From touch screen matrix perspective it wouldn't be a fun design either.
I don't think it will happen.

Hopefully Apple have something good up their sleeve that we're missing.
I can't believe they would create a larger display only to then not have enough room to show important information because the status display area is now too small due to the cutout.

It's already there in the iOS code, so it's definitely happening:
This corresponds perfectly to the notch form we know and love/hate.

Wow...if they are really doing this ugly notch, I guess that ends my quick, possible foray back into iPhone world. Oh well.

UIStatusBarSplitBottomRadius <- What is up with this? Is there a cutout for the virtual on-screen home button maybe?
Either way, the current leaks surrounding this just don't make sense. Still have yet to hear anyone make even a logical rumor as to how it would work in a human-friendly way...
It would make more sense if the status bar was completely disconnected from the screen... like the touchbar of the new macbook where its "cut out" from the face of the display (not from the display/screen itself, say the shape of a rectangle that extends the width of the screen, with the actual rectangular display/homescreen below it... that would make more sense than the way it is now.
As the code comments show, there is nothing there that says anything about a "right" or "left".

UIStatusBarSplitBottomRadius to me means the radius of the two, lower rounded edges on either side of the sensors, at the top of the phone.
I've also thought about one side/edge of the phone displaying many Status Bar icons. It'd work better with an iPhone 5 design though, with a flat top edge perhaps being an extension of the front screen, & used as a Status Bar.
I like the notch. Pertinent info will go on either side of the notch. I don't need too much stuff up there anyway. WiFi, battery, and LTE signal will do. Samsung apparently is already working to copy the notch in their next phone. As usual, Android phone makers will follow suit.
For android you can auto hide the top status bar thus giving more screen area. IPhone 8 notch can't do this. Also can't be used in full screen mode either.
That's okay, not too worried about it. I am sure they will come up with something that works well.
I don't see it as being "shortchanged" as I am a consumer making an educated buying decision. I can still purchase the 8 Plus if I need the extra screen real estate. I value the other technological advancements of the new iPhone, along with the updated design, more so than I do a half inch of screen.

At least screen protectors should be easy to make....

It's weird that the box pictured doesn't give any indication of what color the phone inside is. The boxes have always shown that.
It's not a real box. The colours you see are from the Dutch provider KPN, from who this picture came. So they clearly designed this themselves. Also, the X isn't aligned with iPhone text.
LOL...I highly doubt they don't know what the design will be now. And I'm sure as hell they don't care about posts here.
The status bar is specifically the status bar because it is NOT supposed to be hidden 98% of the time. It's sole purpose is to give instantaneous information whenever a user glances at it. The notch is brilliant design for it specifically so that it takes a portion of the display that would NEVER be used for main display area, as there would be a dip in content.
