Daily reminder that somebody in Apple thought it was a good idea.

The essential phone has the same thing you know, nobody complained then

>>62447430

>nobody complained then

either we are not browsing the same /g/ or you are just retarded. people shitposted about it and it triggered a good amount of OCD.

>>62447430
Yes we did. It looks fucking hideous no matter what company implements the top notch thing.

There's literally nothing wrong with the screen design whatsoever.
All problems are software related - how browser renders either side in landscape, how the status bar is displayed, etc.
Go be a retarded spammer elsewhere

>>62447413
Here's the fact: it's going to be iconic, instantly recognizable, the iPhone X has achieved an iconic look

that's the only reason for that notch instead of just having the bezel go all the way to the sides

Unironically this. Not because this will be the effect but rather it seems to me to be their intention.

>do something retarded with your hardware that puts it at odds with all existing software design
>it's everyone else's fault that their software looks retarded on your retard phone

>>62447413
How is it not a good idea? It makes the phone stand out instantly. You won't confuse it with some glass slob. Also it takes care of the pointless space in the status bar.

The only issue is that the idiots couldn't cut off this part for full screen video but it should be easy to change with an update.

>>62447782
and it's working

people also complained about iphone 5 being too tall but everyone got used to it

>>62447757
Now this looks stupid, as if they remembered that they need to put in the camera in the end of the design process.

>>62447749

Even if you put the status icons below there you're talking about like 1/16th of an inch or even less. What the fuck were they thinking doing a notch cut like that?

>>62448891
yeah but now it looks generic

>>62448891
but duuuudee... thunk differont

>>62448945
yeah why don't they just make the camera, speaker, and proximity sensor invisible, right?

this thread is /g/ retardation at its finest, Apple has turned unused space at the top of the phone into a dedicated area for status icons and the clock, freeing up space for more content on the screen. and 1/16" does make a difference with the on screen keyboard in portrait mode.

Somebody on /g/ unironically tried to defend it by saying "it's not bezel, it's the sides of the phone"

apparently the visible, non-screen area on the sides of the phone isn't bezel

It's oled so it will go black in videos. U guys are so dramatic

It's already here. All the good shit announced was already covered by Samsung.

In the past, Apple would take something everyone executed poorly and would refine the fuck out of it (MP3 Players, phones, laptops)

Now they wait to see what Samsung does, wait some more, send out some virtue signaling letters, and then they copy it after begging Samsung to sell them displays.

I don't see the problem; It's literally top-notch.

>>62447757
This is even worse. At least for the iPhone they've got a need for all that stuff to be at the top. This phone just had a proximity sensor and a camera, or a ambient light sensor, whatever.

I mean it's literally a refurb phone (SE), I don't think Indians can even mess that up. Also I would not bring up Samsung for comparison. They fucked the battery up, and the S8/S8+ screen control is also horrible (more or less red-ish). And now they are full on pussy mode, going with tiny batteries just so they don't explode (also the retarded lower resolution by default and so on).

> inb4 samsung hater
I use a Note 4 mate. But the Note 7, 8 is pure dogshit. Then 7 Edge was OK (but had the same faulty battery), and the S8+ had potential, but the fingerprint location is absolutely fucked up / horrible - and the screen is also fucked up.

>>62448981
Generic but not retarded

>>62448981
it would have been still "full screen" (Apple marketing) and had a new shape, a break from the previous looks... it would have worked IMO.

>>62447757
