Ehhh, I don’t buy it. OLED black has no relation to brightness, photo doesn’t look representative of what one would actually see.
Source: I just tested the same thing with a black screen & my notch in the sun. Doesn’t look like this.

Why does the whole screen look washed out on that picture?! Black on OLED is black, not grey.
It doesn't look anything at all like this. On-axis, it vanishes. Off-axis, you can make out the separation a little bit if you're looking for it, and at some angles you can clearly see the cameras/sensors, but the extended notification still blends remarkably well.
Most importantly, have you taken your iPhone Pro outside and seen how it looks for yourself? Or are you just making judgments based on a screen shot that's been making the rounds?
I've had my 14 Pro Max for several hours now, have taken it outside under sunny SoCal skies during a walk, errands, having lunch on an outdoor patio, and it doesn't look anywhere near as stark or dramatic as that photo shows. So for me it's a nonissue. Grab a new phone for yourself and see if you feel the same way. You have 14 days to make a better judgment call.
If I'm understanding you, that's the generous interpretation. As opposed to a possibility such as editing on top of efforts to exaggerate it as dramatically as possible.
You think? It was a video review from the verge and you can see it in plenty of shots.
I first saw this pic on the Later Clips YouTube channel.
My living room chandelier lights are crazy bright. Like sun bright and I’m not seeing it.
Tomorrow I’ll be going to work in the morning and see what I see.
But I think it’s yearly new iPhone shenanigans. It’s always something.

I don’t think. I know. I’ve been using the phone for a little while in daylight and what is represented here is a wild departure from anything a user experiences.
Someone before really chimed in with a clue. Is that what an OLED screen at black looks like in the sunlight?
But yeah. Even if the photo wasn’t edited, the OP overexposed and went out of their way to exaggerate. Which is disingenuous at best.
I have my iPhone 14 Pro now and can confirm you can actually see the cameras in daylight. I used my other phone to record a video and for some
Reason it’s more noticeable
