Have you given a notched device a fair shake? Not suggesting you haven’t, but I never notice the notch on my iPhone<some number here>

I figured it would drive me nuts

Great for you I suppose?

I have a phone with a punch out camera. Usually I don't even think about it, but when it obscures the things what should be in that place on the screen...

I could tolerate it on a phone, although I'd rather just have a rectangular screen with a bezel for the camera. The whole phone UI can be designed to accommodate it, and it's exceedingly rare that I fullscreen anything on a phone. On a monitor, it would drive me insane; I'm regularly running things full-screen.

So, you just use the home screen then?

> I'm regularly running things full-screen.

well then you won't see the notch, full screen apps are letterboxed across the top
