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?

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.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
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.
It's not like they can rid of the hardware that is inside of the notch. So either get more potential screen space, or just disable it and get the same as always. You're not losing anything.
What's next? Pay per text/call. Soon your mobile plan will just be a bill for hardware and any communications will come with a large fee. I picture it like virgin mobile prepaid was back in the early 00's with 10¢/text & 25¢/minute on voice.
They're going to make the experience "better" by forcing you to talk to their AI to get anything done.
Walking around with new phone: "How do I turn on the flashlight? There no flashlight button in the pulldown menu anymore... OK Google how do I turn on the flashlight?"
"To turn the flashlight on or off you have to say, 'OK Google, turn on the flashlight' or 'OK Google, turn off the flashlight.'"
It'll start with small things but eventually they'll want to stop paying developers to add GUIs so they'll just force us all to use the AI.
