There's no notch on the M1 Air. Are you expecting one? Notches are terrible and are enough all alone to make me change what I'll buy.

The presence of the notch is offset by extra pixels added to the screen height.

Considering the way MacOS's top menu works, notches are a non-issue and you're ultimately getting more screen real estate than the non-notched variants.

Have you given a notched device a fair shake? Not suggesting you haven’t, but I never notice the notch on my iPhone<some number here>

I figured it would drive me nuts

Great for you I suppose?

I have a phone with a punch out camera. Usually I don't even think about it, but when it obscures the things what should be in that place on the screen...

I could tolerate it on a phone, although I'd rather just have a rectangular screen with a bezel for the camera. The whole phone UI can be designed to accommodate it, and it's exceedingly rare that I fullscreen anything on a phone. On a monitor, it would drive me insane; I'm regularly running things full-screen.

well then you won't see the notch, full screen apps are letterboxed across the top

So, you just use the home screen then?
