so you guys know i've been using the
iphone 10 for a little while i'm gonna
reserve
some of my feedback for an upcoming
video after i've been using it for at
least
a week but something has been making the
headlines this morning i've been on the
tech websites
and i've learned about this app that
aims to get rid of the notch
on the iphone 10. the controversial
notch that everyone's talking about
is this interesting is this something
you should go and download
especially since they're charging money
for the app so this is the app right
here it's called notch remover get an
idea from that image there of what it's
gonna look like when you get rid of it
it starts to look kind of like a galaxy
s8
to be honest i'll show you here how it
looks with a couple different wallpapers
so i'll head over there and open it up
you know me and the other guys we've
looked at it and we're like you know it
doesn't the iphone doesn't look that bad
with the black bar at the top i could
see some people preferring this
had apple just come out with a device
like that i don't know though maybe
there's some notch lovers maybe you're a
notch lover but this app
will take your stock wallpaper and throw
that notch in there now
if you just kind of glanced at these
articles and downloaded the app
you might have thought that the notch
was gonna be gone everywhere but they've
just used the kind of weird little hack
here to remove the notch from the phone
by attaching it to a wallpaper and also
just in general the app's kind of not
that good like i'm looking at this i'm
like okay that looks good save
and then what did it do it saved it
where did it save it what it's actually
doing
is saving it to the camera roll you can
select any image
what you can't do is you can't go to
your wallpapers
download the wallpaper separately but
anyways if i go ahead and just select
one of these images here
and then hit save it now takes this
stock
iphone 10 background essentially removes
the notch but of course what it's really
doing is
filling in the notch it's creating this
black outline on each side of the notch
that's what your stock setup looks like
notched out
if i go to my wallpapers here and select
the newly created image
from the app you can scale it to right
where you think it fits in kind of
somewhere around there
then i'm gonna set it set to both and
when i get back out look at that the
notch is dead
kaboom okay so this is you you're happy
the notch is gone
it's what you've always wanted and you
think you're off to the races you think
you just bought
the the greatest app ever if you're a
notch hater
but then you go and you open an app you
open safari and the nuts come screaming
back in
this app is really it's kind of strange
it's strange in the sense that it only
does the thing it claims to do from
within your main
phone area here which is i don't know
how frequent you're there the surprising
part here is the fact that this app even
exists because in apple's developer
terms
for the app store you're not supposed to
have an app like this
that attempts to hide the notch but
anything like this is supposed to be
blocked and somehow this thing made it
through
one cool aspect though is it kind of
does a good job of displaying how
great oled displays are if i hold this
up to jack over here
it's hard to distinguish where the
screen starts and ends and the notch
actually is just by filling in the
display with black look at that
but the question is really for you guys
what do you think when you see an iphone
like this
notch free even though it's not
permanently notch free but instead
just on the background here do you kind
of wish
that apple made this device like do you
wish this is how it looked instead
or do you prefer the notch do you think
that extra little bit of real estate up
there
is useful to you or or is it
aesthetically pleasing so let me know in
the comments if this
is something you guys are gonna do does
the notch bother you so much you're
gonna try to eliminate it with this
particular app are you gonna spend the
99 cents
if so i'll link the app down in the
description but in my opinion i would
save the 99 cents
get yourself a coffee strike up a
conversation with somebody at the coffee
shop
and get over the notch you'll learn to
live with it i think
