ive got an idea what if instead of the screen going all the way to the top it stopped just a couple millimeters shy and in that blank space you could put the camera and an array of sensors?

i'd post a suggestions for why there are reasons to try to avoid that, but it'd cause a multi-page derail about how wearing well-fitting pants is a stupid affectation that no real/adult/professional person/goon would lower themselves to

There's literally zero justification for using the notch over a 3mm bezel at the top of the screen

if they keep the chassis design after removing the notch it would save money because they could ruse thier cnc jigs

still there is no ender user benefit to the notch

unfortunately the chassis is also ugly AF, it looks like a rejected samsung design from five years ago

I say we go back to round screens, then the notch could go around the middle like a belt!

And before complaining about coverage, when was the last time you actually checked out coverage in your area? Are you sure new towers haven't been built, and coverage hasn't been improved? Don't you have Wi-Fi access at work and at home? Is Verizon really giving you significantly better coverage, or is that just how things have been in the past?

so on the android phones that don’t have headphone jacks, do they just have Bluetooth as an option or do they include a usb to 3.5mm dongle? do they come with headphones with the appropriate connector?

just curious if they’ve cheaped out on that aspect.

i dunno which phones include what but apparently usb-c to 3.5mm adapters are a bit of a clusterfuck on android https://www.pcworld.com/article/3284186/mobile/bring-back-the-headphone-jack-why-usb-c-audio-still-doesnt-work.html

yeah, the gray forum people frequently complain about how poorly the usb-c dongles work. iphone people just talk about not liking them, but never complain when they do
