Stop complaining about the notch, just move on

The list of phones with notches has grown a lot in recent months. Before the iPhone X launched in September 2017, the Essential Phone pretty much stood by itself. But then more notches, ones similar to Apple’s, began surfacing in rapid fashion. In addition to countless knockoffs being released in Asia, global brands also joined the craze.

ASUS announced the ZenFone 5, which has a notch and Animoji-like face filters. The P20 and P20 Pro from Huawei have notches as well. LG, whose name and mobile devices are known around the world, gave the G7 ThinQ a notch. The OnePlus 6, too, will borrow from the iPhone X’s most recognizable aspect.

Go on Twitter or Reddit every time and look at any media outlet’s story covering a notch-positive product. The replies are endless, slamming whatever company is named for cheating off of Apple.

In fact, I’ve been part of that shaming. Now I’ve changed my mind and switched my focus to other topics worth complaining about. While I continue to believe companies should make their phones stand out, the notch isn’t all that bad. And the truth is that we cannot stop the notch from taking over nor should we try.

My advice for all those so deeply passionate about rejecting the notch: move on.
