It’s an okay solution, not the best, but definitely the most expensive.
Another solution that would have been cool and expensive: if they put a camera in each corner of the screen. Then at least they could have the rounded corners they always wanted. Also four cameras could be used for cool 3d effects and AI to keep your eyes looking at the center of the screen.
I think you need to think through that four camera concept a bit more.
It would significantly increase the screen bezels because instead of just one notch you now have to bring in all four edges to accomodate the cameras.

Nvidia has been doing the eyes with a single generic camera for over a year now: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/jan-2023-nvidia-br...
Facetime has been doing this for a few years now too. It's called something not-quite-straightforward in the settings ("enhance attention" or something).
Not sure if it was renamed but today the setting is called “Eye Contact”
Wait a second, I think you’re onto something here…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Phone had a camera on every corner of the front screen.
Thanks for the link! I went in search of a product like this to read about it's development, but didn't find one in my short search. This was super convenient!
