I prefer to think of it as two large full-color notches going upwards as compared to a small black notch coming down.

Too bad they didn't increase the resolution of the display slightly for that.

They absolutely did though. The notched MacBooks are 15.5:10 instead of 16:10.

    I'm honestly amazed I didn't know that, perhaps Apple should have shipped the NotchBook Pro™ with the menubar below the notch, and everything above black, and had a setting you could change to turn it to how it is now.

      There's some apps in the App Store which allow you to, on top of the accessibility setting I mentioned earlier. It isn't ideal.

      Let me put it this way: if too many people dislike the notch, I'm cool they go without it. Or have two versions. The issue simply doesn't bother me, I'm indifferent about it. MBPs have had much worse issues between 2016 and 2020.
