Youtube Notch Mode is a chrome extension that adds the ugly, black cut out seen at the top of the iPhone X to every Youtube video. Why? Because it's more beautiful.

Just in case before you folks believe this is what videos on iPhone X are going to look like: that is actually an optional view. The YouTube aspect ratio is 16:9, which is ~1.78. The iPhone X screen ratio is ~2.1653 (2435/1125), large enough that by default video is letter-boxed such that it avoids the notch.
@anant90 So why does Apple show videos and photos that appear to be cut off by the notch?

@tarungangwani It's an optional view. Only if you double tap on a YouTube video, it will zoom up and fill up the screen (like it does with letter-boxed videos even today). Check out: https://youtu.be/_HTXMhKWqnA?t=2... (Start at 2:49)

People sure love to whine about a lot of things, but whining about "the notch" is especially whiney. This product is worthless.
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Only killing it can improve it.

Eh. Only does this if you double tap to full screen. Which one current iPhones still crops the video.

Lol. Was actually thinking about this during the presentation. Seems like you have more imagination than folks at Apple, @mikelacher.

Lol, literally what I said. It's marketing over design, Ives wouldn't have done that. Marketing asked for it.
It's a joke @Al Boulley, it's not like they are asking for a monthly fee to use it, and I see no harm in poking fun at companies asking for £1k making half assed products and calling this one 'the future of the smartphone' when all it has is a larger screen and an animated poop emoji (because all the other stuff like AR, my old 6S can do).

Why. Youtube has a pinch to zoom feature but I doubt anyone is gonna use it.
