I noticed this too and thought about viewing pictures and videos on your phone in landscape. Seems so odd that they would design it so the screen is not a perfect square.

Definitely would be more appealing with a full face and not the black.

I'm not an apple fan overall but I think it looks okay because it's only status indicators that will be next to the speaker.

Instead of having Wifi/4G info, battery amount, etc. at the top of my screen, it will be even further at the top and out of the way.

It's really not as big of a deal as apple makes out (then again they are known for over the top adverts/marketing)

It doesn't really bother me. If you don't like it during content consumption, you can make it so that it's perfectly square when watching videos.

As for the price, it's only a couple hundred dollars more than every other flagship smartphone out right now.
The majority of consumers use their phones waaay more than they use their computers, so it's a pretty solid investment. Especially considering iPhones hold their value pretty well in the time it takes for a new phone to come out over the course of a couple years.

I agree it seems very much out of place, and the starting price is an utter giggle considering the entire thing is made out of glass.

Pretty much an aquarium with software for fish.

I agree with that bar on top it really does look out of place its pointless no clue why they did that over just a full screen at the top.

I agree, the black bar just doesn't look right. I could see app developers really hating this idea but I'm thinking Apple will restrict apps/videos/pictures to more of a rectangular space than keeping this bar. I could be wrong but I guess only time will tell.
