So a hole in the display that pushes half of your notification tray to the side for no good reason is fine, but the display crease in these folding phones is just a bridge too far for y'all? Internal consistency is hard, I guess.

One is a visual problem that has a relatively minimal effect on how you see content on your phone; the other is a physical issue with the display that is in the dead center of the device no matter what. I’d say those are on different levels of importance.

Permanently shifting the notification tray and leaving dead space in the primary UI for the phone is absolutely not a minimal effect for me, but ok.

The status bar icons moved over like 80 pixels. Or your phone’s display is covered in plastic and has a permanent subtle bend in the middle of it that not only creates visual aberrations but affects touches. I know which one I’d pick.

It's way more than 80 to the left on the S10+, and there's dead space to the other side of the hole. You either get dead space or terrible formatting from the screenshots. A better covering on the display can't fix that in a year. Not complicated.

Saying tech advancements will fix the crease is fine, but only once they actually do it. For now, the crease is indefensible. The exact argument can be had for notches/cutouts — tech will eventually remove it. But this is the comparison you’re making *now* based on today’s tech.

Pretty sure what I’m actually saying is both are indefensible and you shouldn’t use either because they’re equally terrible and unnecessary compromises to an imaginary problem. But also yes, one can be fixed without changing the general design.
