I wish they moved it higher up.

I voiced such opinion too and now I realise Apple has done this because in a way it technically gets rid of the Notch.
By replacing it with a Slot even if that sacrifices some mm of screen.

makes the iPhone catch up with the modern smartphone look.

Name a smartphone that looks that way with just as good Face ID tech in it.

I get the notch is very stigmatized, but hear me out. You're getting rid of one unpopular thing and replacing it with something even more visually jarring. Also, you could slim down the status bar if you move the pill up.

Maybe they can't move the pill up. Maybe the placement wasn't a choice, but it was a necessity based on the size of the hardware. Maybe?

I don’t say function, just looks.

Every modern android has a hole punch.

It's an age-old term that pre-dated smart phones.

Examples please?
