I'd like the notch more if it were less than half the width of the screen

Also, AND THIS MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL, but I don't need to take a selfie. Its cool, I'm fine. No one needs to see what I look like with my seat belt on.

I get that there is the FaceID, etc in there, but if they could reduce the size and focus on things that are necessary instead of narcissistic that'd be the bees knees.

Things that are in that cutout:

    - IR camera
    - IR illuminator
    - Proximity sensor
    - Ambient light sensor
    - Speaker
    - Microphone
    - Front camera
    - IR dot projector

Taking the selfie camera out doesn't let you make it significantly smaller, and FaceID probably uses that anyway (in addition to the IR camera).

Yeah FaceTime to talk to your family is totally narcissistic.

Oh yeah, forgot about FaceTime. I've only used it like 3 times since it came out, but valid.

You may also want to recall that you are not the sole user of iPhones. Selfies are a valid use case even if you personally aren't a fan.

WHAT?

I've never used a tampon. Why do they sell them?

I'd venture say a tampon is not a narcissistic product.
