I don’t understand how we’re still whining about notches. We got extra screen and people choose to focus of the notch even 5 years later? Talk about glass half empty mentality…
I’m whining cause I miss having bezels. Having a spot on the screen I can reliably touch that isn’t touchscreen was nice.
The notch is plain ugly and took away screen real estate for notifications and system icons. The pinprick ain’t too bad, don’t notice it much, but looks fuckbad on full-screen videos and games.
Last phone I owned genuinely did. It could only show like three notification icons before it was filled. The pin prick is better, but I want my bezels back.
I mean, yeah you can make all kinds of bad design choices. But a simple cutout like the Pixel works just fine – I even add a ring around it to see media/download progress, so it functions as a system icon itself.

So we still don’t grasp how this works, huh?

Aight I have to admit, a progress ring around the camera is pretty cool. I still stand by my preference but that is undeniably cool and useful.
It’s ugly and it’ll never not be
