Once you see this omnipresent line on the bottom of your iPhone, it’s hard to forget it’s omnipresent.
Well, it is not present everywhere, actually.
- The Home Screen? No.
- Widgets page? (Swipe right.) No.
- Apps page? (Swipe left.) No.
- Control centre? (Swipe from upper right.) Yes.
- Search page? Yes.
- Notification area? Yes.
- Lock Screen? Yes.
- Photo camera? Yes.
- Any other app? Yes.
The issue is, it’s visible. It’s on the screen. It’s always on the screen. It’s not visible where I don’t care, but it’s visible where I want to focus on whatever it is I’m doing.
The top notch, it is not, not visible. I have the biggest notch there is (because I have the smallest iPhone, 12 mini), and I don’t see it. I don’t care it’s omnipresent. It’s a hardware thing, there is no way to remove it.
- At night, it’s not visible.
- Black theme? Not visible either! It’s black on black.
The navigation line? I want it to be gone. I don’t need it. On Android, I can remove it.
I won’t be lost, I know how to navigate my phone.
Here, it is present. And it looks like, it will always be. It gives me these plebs vibes.
