This new design makes no sense to me. It doesn't really give more screen space for photos or videos or anything else, since you have the big cutout in the middle. I think it would look better to just have a straight dividing line across instead of the ears. I like the idea of being given the choice.
I like the ears
But it would have been better if Apple had put the ear piece on top of the phone instead of the front, that way they can do a true full screen
