Alex Cranz har en diametral modsat indstilling til den særprægede sorte udskæring, kaldet notch, på min nuværende telefon, iPhone X:
But let me just say: I love the distinctive notch. Some consider it an eyesore, but for me, that notch screams the phone’s ostentation in a deeply satisfying way. It gives the whole 5.8-inch display a sense of space that simply isn’t found on competing phones. In fact, its display is actually larger than the 5.5-inch screen on the physically larger iPhone 8 Plus.

Det, der umiddelbart lyder som en voldsom provokation, kan være et ærligt, alternativt syn på den udskældte notch.
Jeg bruger udtrykket øjebæ, mens Cranz anvender det engelske udtryk eyesore. Meningen er den samme.
Her er Cranz’ indledning:
I’m a total gadget nerd, and it’s been five years since a new smartphone made me nod to myself with the understanding that, “Yes, I need that thing more than I need air.” But the buzz around the iPhone X has had me a little more hyped than usual. Not just because the iPhone finally ditched the bezels and got an OLED display—Samsung’s Galaxy S8 lost its bezels in March—but because the iPhone X is the line’s first significant overhaul since god knows when. I should know better than to fall for the hype, but after spending nearly a week with the device, I’ve actually convinced myself that spending $1,000 on a phone seems like a good idea.
