I don’t think there is anyone who doubts that the iPhone X would not look like it does if Steve Jobs was still alive. I don’t know what it would look like, nobody does, but I am pretty sure he would have never approved the camera sticking out in the back, since 6. Having said that, I still think it’s the best phone out there. Wish they didn’t have to bump up the price, but hey-ho.
What is meant by intrusion on the screen?
I believe it's referring to the section at the top of the screen that contains the camera and other sensors.
I really do believe that if Steve Jobs was around this would never have happened. It is so anti-Apple it is astounding

"he would have never approved the camera sticking out in the back" +1
It may be, that this is the real vision of Steve Jobs. But that being said, I doubt if Steve Jobs will fully like the iphone X as I am reminded of the iPhone5 ad about size being a "dazzling display of common sense"(https://youtu.be/O99m7lebirE). So iphone X's design is just lacking in common sense?
FYI: I personally have a 5S, Nexus 7 2012 & laptop. I feel a mobile bigger than SE is impractical and its better to get a Samsung Note.

I still think it’s the best phone out there It's not out there, and no one's even used it in the real world - how can you make that call?
I don't mind that phone's notch because it just shows what it is. If the phone is a screen you just look at, then a clean, unbroken rectangle makes sense.
But the phone X is also an object that looks back at you. And listens to you and talks with you. The sensor array acknowledges that in a visceral, plain way.
In fact, hiding it would be a little weird... like the one-way mirror of an interrogation room. You know they're watching you but you don't know exactly who, how, and when. It a little off-putting to hide it and conversely, a little reassuring to make it obvious. And it's just nice and natural to have something to look at or talk to when you want the phone to see you or hear you.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

that, because it is such a travesty considering the previous designs. the technology wasn't ready but I think Apple was desperate to make the claim because it sounded good and went for it anyway. I really do believe that if Steve Jobs was around this would never have happened. It is so anti-Apple it is astounding
Also gone is the design compromise that was the home button.
It just looks all wrong and the shiny silver is horrible - too close to the first gen iPhone and it'll take all of about 2 days for it to get covered in scratches and fingerprints.
