Jony Ive retakes Management of Apple's design team

Nope, keep the notch. Keep the rounded corners, too. Just give us a bigger screen and a headphone jack. Sorted.
Probably not happening. It's branding at this point.
It's never, ever coming back.
I will not even consider buying iPhone again until they remove that notch. I can't think of a worse thing you could do to the screen.
You've got to give Jony Ive credit. Not only is he resuming his high-pressure role leading this design group, but he put out a great album this year with LCD Soundsystem.
I do understand that it's probably easy to ignore, BUT I won't be able to. It's like a dead pixel somewhere in a corner. You can barely see it, but it's always bugging you.
EDIT: One thing they could do is to redesign the software to where there's always a line that cuts off the notch and it never is pulled into the whole screen. I could live with that.
The notch just covers space where the status bar is. What's the big deal?
Who had the biggest transformation? Ives or Allard?You've got to give Jony Ive credit. Not only is he resuming his high-pressure role leading this design group, but he put out a great album this year with LCD Soundsystem.
It makes me laugh when people who don't have an X or haven't even used an X complain about how they'll never use one because of the notch. I literally never noticed it again after five minutes of use.
It really is not a problem. I am a complete video nerd (the type who recalibrates a friends TV before I will watch a movie at their house, who returns things for dead pixels, etc) and it really does just disappear when you are using it.

So just have the battery indicator background black?
Eh, enjoy. A bigger issue I think people have is the swipe indicator bar always being present while playing games and such.
Seriously once you use it you never ever clock it. In fact it's quite endearing. Also when the screen is off the screen and notch look the same so it looks all flash
I don't particularly care about their designs, but have to say their Macbook line has gone down the pooper. I've never had so many problems with any Apple product as I've had in the first year owning this Touchbar nonsense Macbook Pro for work.
Well maybe not him, but whoever designed the Apple watch and the iOS major redesign some years back where everything turned Fisher price. Whoever those fuckers were.
You just described the atmosphere around every Apple product ever
"It wasn't a deal breaker for people who bought the phone." Yeah, no shit. They wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
Is there a reason they don't just raise the rest of the rear of the phone so it's flush with the camera? Is it purely a "making the phone thinner" thing, or is here a technical reason for it.
As for the notch, I would've liked to see them use the OLED to keep the display next to the notch black, with the battery/connectivity symbols in white.
Will be interesting to see what Ive comes up with. Those videos were always weirdly fun to watch

Considering it's record breaking sales, yeah if notch was an issue the reviewers would mention it enmasse the users would mention it and there would be thousands of stories of returns because of notch or thousands saying it's a great phone except for the notch ... but no . This is not the headphone issue it's just people not liking something they don't intend to own
Seems really similar to the headphone issue to me. People are living with it and justifying their purchases for the most part.
I would have put up with the notch, too, but I'm holding out on switching over to the X version of the iPhone until next year at least to see if they bring back Touch ID. You see plenty of people defending the removal of that, too, but it doesn't mean tons of people wouldn't prefer having it.
Huh? Of course that's the case?
I didn't buy it, because it's really ugly. If I didn't think it was ugly, I'd have bought it, so obviously it wouldn't have bothered me.
I think his point is more like... if you actually use the phone, you'll realize it's a non-issue.
Same here.
Ordered an S8+ the next day after trying to convince myself!
I want iOS but I don't want Apple and their dumb choices.
That's cool.
I don't get the complaints about design. Everything has looked great alongside the competition.
I mean, there's a reason why Chinese OEMs copy their design and nobody else's

Headphones is a functional issue. Notch is aesthetics and design. Almost all folks including reviewers like the notch. It's not even noticeable once you have your hands on the phone
I think that's more a case of functionality, like landscape it doesn't bother him on YT or whatever. The practical implication of the notch doesn't bother me whatsoever. It's purely the aesthetic that I don't like. The Pixel 2 seems like a much nicer phone than the S8, but it's fugly, so I don't care.
The S8 is far from perfect, like why the fuck isn't the charger hole inline with the headphone jack? It's awful, but I hardly see it. The notch on the other hand...
