We previously highlighted some concerns about the iPhone X screen, while it is great for occupying the front of the device (almost), there is a part that many did not like, which is that the screen wraps around the bump of the camera and sensors in a way that may be annoying with some games and applications, but of course the developers did not remain silent about this and try to correct Status or take advantage of it. And we saw that not all the applications in the software store, even the well-known ones, still did not fully support the iPhone X.


Hide the sides is unpleasant

Apple has several pages on its site that are interested in developers and introduce them to better design methods and use of devices, and of course with the iPhone 10 with a new screen, Apple has put some instructions for developers, including that the developer should not have decorations in the sides of the upper screen in order not to draw much attention to it. It forbids putting black sides to cover the protrusion of the sensor area (they are instructions and not requirements, which means that if some developers violate them, their application may be accepted), but the idea still persists that Apple wants developers to benefit as much as possible from the new screen shape without prejudice to it.


Some comic solutions

This developer decided to go around the screen, and indeed it is a somewhat logical solution, but it is comical, but he is seeing it for the first time. The next developer let his imagination run wild and explained what a side cursor might look like


Accentuate the edges or not

As for this developer Alex Devarty, he is still confused about whether to fill in those sides with black color or with app content?


PCalc program

It seems that the developer of the famous calculator program PCalc decided to make good use of the place, so he designed the keyboard and the application in a way that does not reduce the beauty of the application and does not use black spaces on the sides at the same time.


And there are those who have benefited very well

This image is from CARROT weather with its new design, as the nature of the application allows you to make great use of the full screen, so the sky looks really good. The application developer also attached to the image a comment saying, "If this is not encouraging you to spend a thousand dollars in November, I do not know what he can do .."


Apple itself did not highlight the bump of the iPhone X sometimes

While Apple forbids developers from hiding the sensor area with a black condition, it does so with the music app, but this may be considered a special case because this scene in the app mainly relies on a card-like interface that does not usually fill the screen.


Even web pages are changing

Do you think that only programs are affected by the change? Many web pages will also be affected as they will not fill the screen and display the content with two white bars on the sides, but there is a code that can be added to the pages and make them consistent from the new look, the image above is from the 9to5Mac website before placing the code. The site after putting the code to make the page suitable.


The beginning of the iPhone X would be annoying

Do you remember when we moved from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 with the larger screen, there were quite a number of applications that did not support the big screen, and also remember when the iPhone 6 Plus appeared, we faced the same problem, and this will also happen with the iPhone X, At first, application compatibility will not be complete, and after several months, everyone will correct it.

Usually companies try to adapt to the technical community when the new is released, but Apple has usually done the opposite. Its large community of developers and users knows that it can make whatever change it wants, and the world is changing according to its new ones, so it was not difficult for Apple to make this curved screen around the area of ​​the sensors, but The important thing now is what the developers' imagination will take out to take advantage of this screen, because what comes out now will often determine the shape of iOS applications for this year or even years to come.


One last thing

Have you tried Sync on iPhone X?


Are you a fan of the iPhone X design? Do you think that this lump caused a problem with applications?
