I don't have the iPhone X yet, but I'm actually kind of excited about the notch and the round corners for a (perhaps) silly reason: it brings us deeper into the sci-fi age where screens are organic objects with shape, rather than just hard, rectangular squares. It feels more exciting, more human, somehow.

(Also, all the various status bars will now finally have the same height; basically no software properly responds to the double-height status bar when something special is going on.)

"organic objects with shape, rather than just hard, rectangular squares"

"all the various status bars will now finally have the same height"

Pick one.

Meaning the GPS and phone call background process status bars will no longer be taller than the standard status bar. This caused lots of issues with third party apps whose developers didn’t test the auto layout edge cases.

not even just third party apps, many of apple's as well!
