It has a notch. That is one heck of a compromise.
How is that a compromise? You either have a massive black bar at the top of the laptop, or a small notch that allows for more screen real estate.
Although that'd be probably mostly games, and I don't think notch is going to be a primary issue for those.
Mostly just bummed that we appear to have traded one gimmick - the touchbar, for another - the notch.
I can't believe they're doubling down on the notch. The absolute best thing I can say about the iPhone notch is: I don't hate it enough to switch to Android. It's by far the thing that bothers me the most about the design. It's ugly and lacking harmony with the UI.
It's a much better compromise than the pop-up selfie cameras that were a fad for a sec, but then died because of the extra compromises needed for water resistance, battery, extra motor, etc.
The internal space that the module occupied was the only real disadvantage of the pop-up camera, restricting the space available for the battery. Although I didn't have any complaints about the battery life of this phone.

I don't understand why you'd have an issue with it? The screen area cuts into the previous gen's bezel so, at worst, you'd just black out the top of the screen to have the exact same screen size as before and, at best, you can use the extra display for things like the menu bar. What's the issue?
Am I the only one bothered by the thickness? I mean, the new macs are going to be amazing machines but....it's just so un-Apple, you know? Still, gonna pick one up as soon as I can :)

I thought it looked thicker too but it turns out the new models are even 0.01cm thinner (if you want to call it that).
Finally, the touch bar of the Macbook is gone.
I'm going to miss it :( i know that's super unpopular and understand why people don't like it.
It was incredible for volume and brightness control, occasional uncommon characters input and switching between application tabs.
Yea, it sucked really hard when I needed F-keys, but it had its utility. Honestly, it was a bad idea as a replacement for the F-keys - it should've rather been a separate addition above those. It's not like there isn't enough space for both on a 16" chassis.
