I also bought the iPhone X on day one, but I had to get rid of it, I really hated the notch. Also didn't like the aspect ratio of the display, it's getting way too vertical.

For me, it's like living in a room where one of the walls has a weird inset, which makes it more difficult to arrange the furniture.

Or like having a picture frame on the wall that is slightly crooked no matter how many times you try to fix it.

Or maybe it's like having a mole or birthmark, and calling it a beauty mark.

Sure you can live with it and just ignore it, but that wouldn't be my first choice.

However if you are willing to boot camp into Windows, you are probably less likely to care about a notch.

I don't get 18:9 on a phone at all, I purposely bought 16:9 as one of my criteria for a new phone.
I firmly believe the notch wouldn’t have made it if Steve Jobs was still the CEO. It kinda goes against some of his ocd-ness

I refuse to buy a botched notched phone.
