Happy to report I've been an iPhone X user for a few weeks now. At first, I was concerned the 'notch' at the top of the display would be a little disconcerting/annoying to me... However, literally after a good day or two, I hardly even notice it anymore.

How has your experience been? Somehow, it just works. Obviously, I'd prefer if it wasn't there (iPhone 11?), but I can live with it for sure, and it doesn't bother me at all.

I had the X for about a month. I really tried to convince myself that the notch wasn't an issue. I succeeded for a little while. Then the honeymoon period ended and reality set back in. It just wasn't something I could look past on a $1200 phone. If others can convince themselves that it's ok or go so far as to say they like it, good for them. Enjoy the phone. I moved back to the 8 Plus for my iOS needs.

I have had the X since the official launch day and the more I use it, the more I find myself liking it.

As far as the notch, I don’t even notice anymore except in my BBM app which I expect they will fix it the next few updates.

The home button, don’t miss it at all and now when I have to use one with the home button, I find myself frustrated and enjoy going back to using gestures on my X.

Overall, I feel the device was well worth the money I spent for it and I am not looking back, to me the is the future of the iPhone is the X and gestures.

Like you, I rarely notice it now. I still don’t like it when I do notice it, but it doesn’t take away from how much I enjoy my iPhone X.

I've had the X since launch day and the notch still bothers me.

[tcuprof]

I'd rather it wasn't there, but I mostly don't notice it. It's certainly not detracting from my overall liking of the phone.

[johnmoore13]

What notch? It just looks normal to me!

[TheLegoJoker]

I barely notice it, really. I think it’s been way overplayed as an eyesore when it’s such a minor thing. Admittedly, I was one of the ones overplaying it after the keynote and when I got my iPhone X I worried that the notch was going to be the thing that got me to return it. I see it when watching a full screen video if I look for it but it just lets me know which end is up. Not once have I thought “Man, if that notch wasn’t there this thing would be ten times better.” Just doesn’t bother me.

[RobertP1]

I am exactly one week into the X and I have to say that I am still bothered by the notch. I assume that I will get used to it, but as of now... I hate it! (the notch that is)

[TripleOne]

I’ve had it since launch day and I’ve never been bothered by the Notch at all.

[EagleFox007]

I’m actually addicted to the notch now. I got my phone since launch. I don’t use an app if I don’t see the notch.

[TripleOne]

If the rumors of a smaller Notch are true, that would actually be nice to have in future models.

[fairmarketvalue]

No freakin' deal!

[TylerLV76]

Used to annoy me but now it only does so if an app doesnt fill the screen. Makes the app look like garbage imo.

[tadpoles]

I’m growing to like it. Makes the device different. To me, it’s much less of an obstruction then those ginormous bezels.

[calebt]

The notch doesn't bother me, it's what the notch is housing that bothers me. So this year it is No Deal. Next year when the X plus is available it will be Deal.

I've had the X for a few weeks and don't notice it. Really enjoying the phone!

[AugustVance]

I only notice it when someone mentions it. It doesn’t bother me.

I dont watch a ton of video on my phones. Mostly talk, message, email and browse in portrait mode and I like the notch. I dont notice the notch so much in landscape if the screen is filled by the app or video but I can say I dont like it when the view is smaller due to app or video not filling the screen. I have been on Android so long that the iphone is is a welcome change, notch and all.

[msm0511]

Something I didn't realize until I got the X is that I never really look at the top 1/4 of my phone in portrait. So I barely notice the notch most of the time. Landscape is something else entirely though. Luckily I rarely use my phone in landscape so it's not a huge deal to me.

[BillsiPhoneX]

I got my X on January 12th. In the time I have had it the notch is no big deal to me at least. I just ignore it. Sometimes I don't even notice it.

[anon(5630457)]

It's right there in your face while watching videos in landscape mode. I don't know how anyone says they don't notice it when it sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

I don’t make my videos full screen because it cuts out too much of the video. I truly loathe the 18:9:9 aspect ratio.

[SprSynJn]

If the next iteration removes it, it’s all go for me. As it stands now, I’ll pass. Stands out too much in landscape mode.
