I hear a lot of complaints about "The Notch" on a variety of sites. As far as I can tell, Apple is just maximizing screen space, but with a clear longterm goal.
We all read the rumors about embedding the touch sensor and camera under the display. Apple wants a seemless display, and is setting things up for that. The Human Interface Guidelines are said to "embrace the notch (Grubber)," but I think they are preparing to phase it out.
Shouldn't we be looking ahead and calling it a "Stepping Stone" to the pure edge to edge design that Apple can't quite do yet?
I think everyone can agree that an all screen phone would look best and will be what eventually happens. The next iPhone will probably work to reduce the Stepping Stone, at least slightly, and so on. Apps won't have to update to accommodate the Stepping Stones to a perfected all-screen iPhone.
