Is every single part of the iPhone X screen sensitive to touch? Because I already have enough problems handling my Samsung phone without accidentally 'clicking' on things because of the small bezels. I wonder if there is an option to ignore input when touching the very edges of the screen.

#22Someone needs to make a JS lib that adds a black notch to the other side of one's website.

#23Hahaha lmao. I can't believe this is a real thing, that we have to design for one specific device now. Really?
It's less infuriating if you read it in Jony Ive's voice.
Sadly that is more infuriating.
Luxurious, hand crafted, precision infuriating, we went all over the world and collected only the best infuriating and merged it seamlessly into your rage.
Few people irritate me (that I haven't met) more than that guy does.
It's irrational but there it is.

#25Out of the box, Safari displays your existing websites beautifully on the edge-to-edge display of the new iPhone X. Content is automatically inset within the display’s safe area so it is not obscured by the rounded corners, or the device’s sensor housing. Default behavior is for you to do nothing to your code and Safari on the X will automatically pad around the inset and rounded corners. This is just if you _want_ t…
Too bad more people aren't reading this before whingeing in the comments.

#29What's the slim vertical bar by the left side of the phone (if held in portrait mode)?
That's the home indicator. It's always on the bottom of the screen (so, in portrait, it would not be on the left). It's used to show users where to swipe up in order to close the current app.

I hope that guy is showing that off as satire to show just how ridiculous the iPhone X's design really is, rather than providing a real-world solution.
The concept of a truly full-screen device is what everyone is waiting for. That's the future. Until the engineering manages to reach that point, Apple should have restrained themselves from releasing this kind of unpolished product. Sometimes, when you can only get to 80% of what you're aiming for, it's better to put the project on the back burner until you can reach the 100%. The iPhone X looks like an unfinished prototype, not the result of professionals who understand that sometimes you need to take a step back.
