iPhone X one month later: The best phone of the year?

Notch to meet you

When we talk about the iPhone X, we talk about the all-glass design, edge-to-edge display and, of course, the controversial notch. It’s been called an “odd design choice,” made fun of in a national ad campaign, and ignored by users through clever workarounds. Whatever your feelings about the notch, Apple has fully embraced the design quirk by making it one of its defining features.

In truth, the notch just kind of disappears the longer you use the iPhone X—something a growing number of people agree with. It’s alarmingly noticeable at first; it cuts into video and photos, like a part of the display has been scooped out.

But as you get comfortable with the device, you won’t even notice it’s there. At least, I haven’t run into a single instance where the notch has severely detracted from the experience, especially now that apps have been updated. Would I prefer it wasn’t there? Sure. But I rarely stop to even acknowledge it’s there, as if it doesn’t even exist.

Taking an informal poll among iPhone X owners in our office (there are several), the sentiment is shared. There’s no arguing it’s initially distracting, but once you stop actively looking for it, it’s business as usual.
