This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I don't understand why everyone hates the notch, or especially the hole punch camera now. You could just disable the pixels next to the notch going back to a regular screen, and if you don't it's only extra screen space. Even more so with the hole punch. Why more screen bad?

I paid for an X size screen. I shouldn't have to disable a chunk of it to watch a video without a hole in it. /s

Realistically, while I'd rather not have a hole punch, I don't notice it and better than a giant top bezel that does nothinh. I just wish they still made phones small enough for one hand use.

Right, the old way was have a bunch of dead space at each end of the phone (and sides too). This isn't the loss of where the hole now is, this is the addition of screen around the hole that always was.

While I'm all about options because everyone has different use cases, I've found that over the years as these features have been removed, I haven't really missed them

They also gave us those things before they took them away.

Remember: you're beholden to the whims of capitalism until it's gone.

People don't care. They buy whatever marketing tells them to buy. Lines around the block for the first iPhone when it was vastly inferior to the other phones of the day. Couldn't even use custom ringtones. Knew then that people really are sheep.

Genuinely can’t tell if this comment is parody or not.
