How is that a compromise? You either have a massive black bar at the top of the laptop, or a small notch that allows for more screen real estate.

I suspect this notch is going to be a problem for a significant number of full-screen applications that never assumed there would be something like that.

Although that'd be probably mostly games, and I don't think notch is going to be a primary issue for those.

It was mentioned in the keynote that you can disable the entire top region of the screen that aligns with the notch. That makes this equivalent to any notchless laptop.

I'm sure old fullscreen apps won't even be told about the new areas at the top of the screen. They'll just think they're on a regular 16x10 display.
