In just the past two years notches have shown up on almost every flagship smartphone in the market. And today we’re going to find out why this design element has become so popular and what might happen to it in the future. Now when most people hear the word notch, they probably think of the iPhone X. Since it was the first popular flagship smartphone to include one. But the origins of the notch goes back to a lesser known device called the LG V10 released in 2015. This is a story we’ve heard before when it comes to Apple. They typically aren’t the first to bring a new piece of technology to market, but they almost always introduce a refined and modernized version of the technology to maximize functionality. And I think that’s the case with iPhone X’s notch. But that doesn’t explain why the notch design element was being used in the first place. Why not just keep the display perfectly rectangular by creating an even thinner bezel that could still house the earpiece, camera, and sensors? After all, that’s what many android devices like the Galaxy S8 began to do.

getting used to sth doesn't mean you like it tho
Before watching I’m going to take a guess at the answer.
Apple created a notch to solve a problem they were having. Loads of sensors, dot emitter and camera but not wanting a forehead on the phone.
Everyone else created the notch because they were blindly copying Apple’s design as always, despite not having any of these sensors or 3D face mapping.
What amazed me was that some phone manufacturers actually had bigger notches.
No as always apple copied off a different company

Seven V lmao why you getting so butt hurt if wasn’t for Apple will still have flip phones
@@apostle9209 Being able to listen to songs on that "necessary cord" is an option that people should be allowed to have. It's an option that had no interference whatsoever with Bluetooth headphones. It's true the wireless way has it's advantages,of course. But removing the headphone jack was removing an option people had on phones along with either device for DECADES and railroading them to get the wireless more expensive option.
I don't blindly hate Apple either. I like the notch idea and don't understand why the notch is disliked as it seems to be something that allows more display space and is functional allowing the notification bar info to have it's own dedicated space instead of an extra portion taken out of the display. If this is what is considered "bold" then okay because it's a good idea and others copying it I'd say are somewhat of a positive influence.
But literally REMOVING something that was not holding back anything else (no the headphone jack doesn't interfere in a phone's ability to be waterproof,I have an older flagship that had that jack and it's fully waterproof) is not bold.
It's motivated by money to have people buy AirPods or the extra cord to charge your phone and listen on headphones at the same time. And seemingly money talks because most other android manufacturers are going along with it.
That "Wireless future" can exist for people who want it,but having the mere extra option of having a wired headphone wasn't holding anything back enough to warrant removing it for no reason.While I think a person having to spend more money to buy wireless ones are a problem, personally I don't have a price issue with getting wirless headphones, I have 3,but it's easier to use normal headphones for me because you don't have to charge them. It's "Plug and Play",instant and reliable.
Also if Apple really cared about creating a "wireless future" than why would they even support the ability to use the old wired headphones with extra accessories like that headphone jack/charging cable hybrid or fully manufacturing entirely new headphones that taking up that charging port?

I love the notch even when it began to appear on the iPhone X. The design makes it look unique and it makes Face ID more advance and it fits the design of the iPhone. And as Greg said, you will stop noticing the notch over time.
That's Why Steve Jobs said Users aren't Sure what Consumers actually wants 🤣
Exactly. This may be the biggest thing that distinguishes Apple from its competitors
Tru, they don't unless u show them what they want
People realize this fact at some point around of iPhone release. And yet many people hesitate to make fun of every bold decisions.
You forgot to mention how the Galaxy S10 has an imbedded fingerprint sensor, so it eliminates the need for facial recognition
True but wet fingers or a skins issue don’t u fucked.
And also when u break u glass well expensive
@@raveenbikha its ultrasonic unlike optical sensors on Huawei , Vivo, Xiaomi, etc phones, so you don't have to go about worrying about those soggy hands
I would rather have both on a smartphone. Face Unlock for when I'm wearing gloves and a fingerprint scanner for when my face is covered (by sunlight or hats for example) to the point that Face Unlock does not work.
@@raveenbikha my wet fingers have no issues unlocking it.
@Tech Guru413 Not when one of them covers up part of the screen.
11:30 you have to admit those ingenious ads were pretty funny
srivatsasa1 agreed, but it’s quite pathetic
It’s funny but when you think about it Samsung had to pay apple for every product, logo, object, and piece of clothing they own so I think Samsung is loosing there…
Before my 12 Pro Max, I had the Galaxy S10 Plus, and the way the holepunch cutout is made in the Galaxy is way more noticable and disturbing than the iPhone's notch. It's as ppl say, you don't notice it. But with the Galaxy is really hard to ignore. It being asymmetrical makes it worse
Yes, that's why they move it to the center since then.
They dont have that anymore. It is centered now. Idk since when. But my newest s23 ulta have it centered.
I'll just forget about it too.
Putting notches on phones that don't need them at all.
The iPhone X has a notch because of Face ID. The cleanest notch on Android is the teardrop notch found on the OnePlus 6T
ruzzell907 but it’s chin is ugly
@@nikhilveeramachaneni7073 yes
The Galaxt A10e also has a teeny tiny little notch for the camera and thassit,too.
I’ll never understand the drama behind THE NOTCH! I over looked it from the beginning as an aesthetic that separated the iPhone X from the 6, 7, and 8 versions. But, whatever people need drama in a shape or form. So, tech drama is as good as any other drama. (:
It's probably because the iPhone X is so close to being that final edge to edge seamless feat of engineering, but it shows it's compromise clear as day in front of all it's marketing and usage. It's not that terrible when you use the phone, but it feels off buying and supporting something that has an obvious fault which is clearly going to be fixed with time.
TheLingo56 It seems as if you’re saying that the Notch will go away one day?
I like the notch design, it's clean, stylish and helps gets more screen without compromising features
You shouldn't look at arbitrary screen space, but how that screen is used. Old iPhone showed me a battery percentage, now it can only fit a useless icon in there. The icon grid is still 6x4. To me that's LESS screen space.
I personally prefer older style iPhones.
My favorite iPhone (the perfect iPhone) is the 6S.
(Perfect in every way and it is like it was made for me.)
@@nateholden7598 That is the most recent iPhone.

Now I have my s10 anything with a notch just looks ridiculously outdated
Had an Oppo Reno Z2 for a month, can't go back to a notch now.
And a few years later, Nothing is the only other company which has managed to have equal bezels on all sides
Bezels always beat notches
Sony does too
And the iPhone 14 came out with the pill that I like a lot more then the notch. The software integration with the pill is amazing
I liked the notch so much that I added one to the bottom of my mobile web app that I use at work to show date and time. Turned out useful in very little situations but it still looks neat.
Considering that the iPhone 13 I currently use still has a notch (albeit much smaller than the iPhone X had), it’s nice to know why it’s there. I never minded the notch, but knowing that it has so much functionality is pretty neat.
i dunno why, i feel satisfied when i see the iPhone’s notch
Look up the geometry of the iPhone’s notch on google. You’ll be blown away by the precision they put into creating it.
I don't like notches, which is what made me get the OnePlus 7 Pro, and before that the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro.
Loved the video! Very informative and LONG!! Now i’ll buy that plush as soon as i get paid next week!!
The iPhone’s notch is way less noticeable because the apps are optimised in which the colour of the notch stays consistent with the app. In Android phones, they always have a darker shade in the status bar which makes the notch or punch hole much more noticeable.
I like the notch. I wish that scrollbars went around the notch when in landscape mode.
The Galaxy S10+ has an in-screen fingerprint scanner which is significantly faster than FaceID. The design is also the most beautiful design on a smartphone imo
to be honest Galaxy S10+ looks like a brick and the notch is not it, i think that any notch or camera looks better in middle than sides
I love your account breaks down all the ideas apple have for new and old products
Premieres = terrible
I personally prefer a notch over a hole-punch cutout

Notch gets in the way of more of the screen, though. Personally I think both are pretty garbage.
The sound of the word "notch" is like nails down a chalkboard to me, and the visual gives me the palpable urge to "even it out". I can't imagine ever buying a phone with one of those.
Steve jobs vodo doll

I have the iPhone XS and I absolutely love the notch on it. It seems natural to the phone form. And it has just the right size.
I love the notch on my iPhone XR. I think it looks really good on the screen and it makes it seem unique from other phone companies.
I love my XR’s notch, I notice it in every app and I personally think it’s beautiful
I also think that it’s beautiful
I always think of it as cherry on top

Congratulations in advance.
I have the iPhone 12, I didn’t notice the notch from the first day I got it, I had a notchless android before it so it’s not like I was used to it, and to be gone I like it better with a notch, I really love the way that thing looks
Is a notch-mare
The status bar design, with icons coming from either side, and two general types of notifications, was just natural; either could grow towards the center and use that space, as long as the other side hadn't grown to the center. But generally you don't have or even want that many status notifications to fill the bar, so it just makes sense to use those two little areas around the earpiece and camera for the status information, freeing a strip at the top of the main display rectangle for more content. Then it's just the aesthetics of whether the status bar is set off (black) or extends the main color scheme. Also with LED technology taking hold it's probably easier to form around the notch than LCD, though phones like the LG V10 did use an LCD with a corner cutout.
Random people on reddit, those are some A+ quality and trusted reviews you got there! 👍
"Notchless display"
Me: Holds phone upside-down
Two words, “Dynamic Island”.
For me, the only annoying thing about the notch is that it obscures parts of full screen videos, I just like to not have CRT-era like overscans on my digital device. Sadly, the obsolescence of the notch won't going to remedy this since rounded corners will most likely remain, and will keep parts of the video hidden.
10:45 Actually, on some phones we can black out the notch like this while still keeping the system icons in it. I don't like it very much for the same reasons as you said, but i've seen a lot of people who love it this way. Always good to have a choice !
I also love the design at 10:27, looks great IMHO.
Maybe they could have put a system switch to toggle between the two designs, both are pretty nice. Apps could adapt to both by just cutting the content (Whatever fills up the notch can't be important anyway). This works great on OnePlus phones for example, doesn't kill the continuity of the UI at all.
But i know Apple likes to have one and only one UI/Design and very few options regarding customization, which is understandable. They want a controlled and well crafted UI, which is great too.
Good summary, the notch is a nonissue the real question is why the other guys can´t do secure Face ID.
face ID is not the solution imo, it's very expensive to design and manufacture and it's just not as convenient, it's not like anyone had issues with fingerprint scanner in the first place.
Face ID is proprietary technology. It's like asking why Mac OS can't run Microsoft Windows software.
Diego Kausel You are welcome to your opinion, but I have 3 Touch ID devices and Face ID beats the pants off of all of them even in a dark room on my IPAD Pro or IPhone XS.
groszak1 yup, and other versions are really just jokes, I mean if you can spoof them with a photo they are useless.
@@garrettmineo I'm not saying that Face ID is useless, it works better in certain situations (and has its huge flaws too), but there was no real reason to ditch fingerprint scanner in the first place, no one was like 'we need to get something else'.
Anyone after the Dynamic Island?
When you say notch the thing that immediately comes to mind to me is the guy who made Minecraft
🤣the notch commercial is killing me.
Great video very well thought!!
Why do people hate notches? It's a design flaw, but I could be fine with it.
Basically it’s an extension bar.
Zak Jansen 16:9 at even 5.5 inches is too wide so 18:9 makes it more of a phone. A really tall one but a phone nonetheless.
It's like having the bookmark bar visible. Having no options to hide it all, whatsoever!
Because something exists, that doesn't make it popular. The notch is not popular, it a nuisance forced down consumers throats.....Hmmmm...I love the notch- said NO ONE EVER
@Josue Hernandez Why?
@Josue Hernandez LMAO You had me worried there for a second....I thought you were being serious!
Josue Hernandez Lol. Take it easy bro. I do have an iPhone btw, but I’m poor, so it’s a 6s plus. I want an XS Max, but given the choice, I’d rather it notchless.
Josue Hernandez I live in the Caribbean, that’s not an option for me. Thanks though 👍
MangaAddict I have an XR and I don’t mind the notch, if I have a choice between the convince security and accuracy of Face ID or just having a fully square screen I’d take the notch any day. It serves a big purpose afterall, unlike android phones that just use it as a design choice and to copy Apple

“John Fireball” 😂
the notch was weird at first as I had a Pixel 3xl at the time but I found that it has two advantages. It allowed for grabbing the phone without triggering the screen as well as during general usage it gives the top information without sacrificing general screen real estateIt only becomes annoying if apps like games don't scale back their screens to avoid overlapping the notch but it's a small price to pay for me.
Well I think the point is the same bezel width on all four sides.
The essential phone was announced in May 2017, back then, leaked images of the iPhone X were already flooding online since February. High argumentative when it comes to who made it first.
The essential phone was leaked to death
But you can’t design a new phone in a couple of months. No phone manufacturer invented it, rather the cutout display technology became available for manufacturers to use and Essential brought a phone to market using that technology asap while Apple took their time to design a more thoughtful implementation of the same tech.
Theoretically Apple could implement a display that is clear when you turn it off but if it is on then you still can take photos from beneath the display what would be a huge benefit, but then there is a big problem for speakers but Samsung somewhat already has this technology as an ultrasonic under screen Touch ID which could be used to bring sound trough the display to the users ear more directly.
