Last year, when Apple unveiled its 10th anniversary iPhone, which we all know as the iPhone X, the entire Android community laugh at them when they saw the so-called “notch” on top of the display. Just search YouTube for iPhone X parodies, and you’ll see what we’re talking about here. The “notch” doesn’t have so many fans out there, as Apple should have released an iPhone with a full-screen display instead, but maybe that’s the best idea they have had yet. Half a year later, it turns out Android phone manufacturers didn’t have better design ideas either for their 2018 models and started adopting the “notch” too.
