Yeah that notch at the top is absurd - maybe back in the motorola days it was acceptable, but why do it now ?!?! just put a bigger bumper at the top - or a thinner one and spread the components across the entire width of the device !!! got to make sure the screen is at least uniform - silly apple.
Best we can hope now is apple changes the software to make the phone finish below the bumper as far as all apps and use goes - just keep notifications, time, battery on the ear, dont let apps roll around it.
