Disgusting. And I'm sure all the other laptop makers are gonna do the same stupid thing. Yet another thing in the world of computers that Apple made worse.

Looks like the idea is to make the screen push as close to the edge of the lid as possible. The notch is for the camera and so you have somewhere to grab without smudging the screen itself.

DBS literally got "10-5-2011" tattooed on his forehead because he absolutely loathes Apple.

No you don't.

I do. I can honestly say I've never paid a single dollar for any of their products.

When I was really young I had a hand-me-down Apple IIe from my cousin, and I used to use Macs in high school (mainly for graphic design and desktop publishing in my Graphic Arts classes, as well as using HyperCard for a couple school projects and for writing papers). But I haven't used a single one of their products for the last 25 years.

I've never been willing to use iTunes, for multiple reasons. When I wanted an MP3 player, I went out of my way to buy a generic one because I didn't want an iPod. I wouldn't use an iPhone if you gave me one for free.

Generally speaking, whenever Apple chooses to do something different from everyone else, either in terms of physical design or in how they handle software, their way is fucking atrocious. They are almost never the best option for anything, and then they overcharge for their product as well. They've basically coasted for decades on really good marketing, combined with presenting themselves as the tech company for people who don't actually understand tech.

And as has already been suggested in this topic, the worst thing Apple tends to do is set the trend that other companies follow, which just results in the industry and products as a whole getting worse.

I see this as a fine compromise between reduced bezel width and keeping a front-facing camera

They already have a black bar like that across the whole top. So what's the issue

If anything it seems beneficial because they made the screen area larger by removing most of the black bar and making it only surround the camera

I'm sure more people use them for video chats than photos.

Never thought about it this way but Id still rather they removed it altogether.

I dont use MacBooks so idc too much but when it comes to iPhones I dont get it. everybody else seems to be able to design out the notch and just have the tiny camera surrounded by screen so why cant Apple?

Suppose theres a speaker there too theyd have to hide but surely they could figure that out. Speaker at the top or something idk

My phone sometimes has nothing around the camera to block it from the screen and it really distracts me tbh
