This is all form over function. You won't get many people saying eg the Cube looked bad. The notch is function over form. Non-jobsian. It's fine, we can agree to disagree. There's no settling an argument over what a dead man neither of us knew might have thought.Yossarian wrote:There was loads of divisive stuff that came out under Jobs: the desk lamp iMac, the Cube/Toaster, the iPhone 4’s glass back and antenna, even the original iPod was divisive due to its storage size and price.

That diagram represents the ease I havereaching those areas on a 4" screen; I most certainly couldn't reach the other side of the bottom of the screen with ease on the 5" I had. There's a fucking long way for UX design to go before they can make a big phone that's properly usable in one hand and it's so much simpler to just make a smaller one.
