If it's between the dynamic island and high quality sensors, I will happily accept them keeping a notch. It makes sense they'd try to make it a selling point, as it is somewhat unique to iPhone in how they've really leaned into making the most of it.

To an extent, but not this extent (i.e. the second listed feature in its second generation). Among the things I care about the iPhone featuring, this is probably somewhere between #20 and #50.

And it’s not even that much better than just showing this information to either side of the notch, or somewhere below it (in other words, what they used to do since the notch was introduced).

I see the DI maybe once or twice a day, if that, for a second or two.

Again, it’s fine as an alternative, but it’s not the selling point they and DI apologists are making it to be.
