Apple has decided to embrace the notch at the top of the iPhone 8 instead of hiding it, according to a Bloomberg report.The iPhone 8 is said to feature an OLED display that when showing black could blend nearly perfectly with the notch on the top bezel. However, rather than use this to hide the notch area, Apple is going to let the notch stand out.
Apple has opted to not hide the notch area at the top of the screen, showing a definitive cutout at the top of apps with non-black backgrounds. The cutout is noticeable during app usage in the middle of the very top of the screen, where the status bar (the area that shows cellular reception, the time, and battery life) would normally be placed, according to the images. Instead, the status bar will be split into left and right sides, which some Apple employees call “ears” internally. In images of recent test devices, the left side shows the time while the area on the right side of the notch displays cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity and remaining battery life.
