The way that screen protector is positioned is wrong. There is a lot of height available above the Safari address bar on the X but the photo is taken in a dark environment which means you can't see it.
Got a tip for us?

Will iPhone X screen size satisfy Plus users?

You're the one repeating yourself more than anyone, forcing your view on others.
How many times do you need to pat yourself on the back for your purchase decision.
Pipe down...
Great explanations. This is a pleasure to read posts like this one.
I certainly don't.
So I bought the Challenger.

I did the same thing when considering the 8 Plus and the X.
I'm sure the Camaro and Mustang owners will disagree... and that's fine.
Nice cars.

So is the notch.
maybe even more..
They could have prevented it just like Samsung’s approach.
there is a concept picture showing how it could look in page 1 or 2..
The video states that X has SAME display width as 6/7/8. If it's true, then X's side bezels should be even thicker - the X's body is wider than 6/7/8...
The notch will be seen as iconic which is part of apple’s plan..more companies will copy the notch. It’s the route Samsung are moving to next year
Give me notch over bezels any day
Apple went with the notch to house their FaceID tech. Kuo today said while other manufacturers will copy FaceID, Samsung will continue to work on under the screen fps
The bendable phone will be getting pushed heavily by 2019. I think the S9 will keep nearly the same design as the S8. Samsung doesn't do drastic design changes until after two years of one design.
Im a bit confused.
What else won’t work in landscape?
Even the rotation is gone?
Is there a list?
I know there's been loads of pictures, videos etc but does anyone have the actual physical, in mm, dimensions of the X please. Total inc notch and then one with a notch straight line? I want to compare with 7+ screen on top try get an idea.
I thought I was buying a phone, not getting a trig/geometry lesson
Bottom line is folks who are getting X like the screen, size be what it is. Those who aren't want to rationalize by arguing about screen size.
I don't care if yours is bigger than mine, mine will be more fun than yours.

Sure, the notch potentially makes "usable" space 5% less than a Plus model. The notch is obviously what people don't like or are unsure about with the X.
Me, I am not concerned if there's a small difference in screen space. Going from the huge Plus model to this smaller form is going to be a big enough change that I won't notice the difference much, if at all, in usable screen space. Of course, that's pending real-world use. I'm not concerned.
If Apple would have trimmed down the top and bottom bezels of the 8 Plus, I may have already bought one instead of waiting for an X. However, the OLED, 2436x1125 resolution, and 458 ppi specs sound like a nice, noticeable upgrade from the 8 Plus. Plus, the X cameras are slightly better in the back and significantly better on the front and will be needed for advanced AR stuff down the line. Screen size is only one aspect of the phone.

Definitely won't be humping Apple's leg while chugging the kool-aid like you.

Nobody here is patting himself on the back needing reassurance from internet strangers. Nice comeback though!
Then good luck on Android because it's obvious that the Notch is coming to all iPhones once oled yields stabilise. Look I don't like the notch either but it's that or the huge bezels or in Apple's case Galaxy S8 bezels. Which is preferable?
Even if we pretend the iPhone Plus and X have the same display area, the X loses a 1/4" of display height due to the gesture area. The status bar is also taller to accommodate the notch and ears.
Psychologically, the notch will compress the height of the display. The dedicated gesture area and taller status bar reduces the usability of the display.
Those top and bottom areas aren’t always there. They are on the Plus also.
For me the phone on the right is MUCH more preferable.
So you get a small bezel... still looks a lot better than the notch and for me isn't nearly as annoying.
What was that? Apple wants to give the X uniqueness?
Uniqueness is like animojis... something nobody gives a $*#* about.
Great explanation! Thanks. I was trying to put into words why the X as a package works better, but couldn’t articulate it as well.
how is the one on the right displaying the signal status? (wi-fi/bluetooth/etc)For me the phone on the right is MUCH more preferable.
that's surely a screen up there to display those, right?
to me, those two pictures are of the same phone with the same notch.. the one on the right just has black background with white type in the ears/notched area.. the one on the left is white background with black type in the ears.
idk, to me, it seems like you're saying you prefer the hypothetical design on the right.. and that the mocked up design would look like this:
.... except-- that's not a mocked up design.. it's the actual iPhone X.
i'm not really following your point or noticing what difference is being attempted with the comparison you posted.. if anything, it's the same exact phone except the software is slightly different on the two.
