They also remove the tv receiver on higher end phones, but my bet is that they will remove custom launcher support.

They're going to make the experience "better" by forcing you to talk to their AI to get anything done.
Walking around with new phone: "How do I turn on the flashlight? There no flashlight button in the pulldown menu anymore... OK Google how do I turn on the flashlight?"
"To turn the flashlight on or off you have to say, 'OK Google, turn on the flashlight' or 'OK Google, turn off the flashlight.'"
It'll start with small things but eventually they'll want to stop paying developers to add GUIs so they'll just force us all to use the AI.
I don't understand why everyone hates the notch, or especially the hole punch camera now. You could just disable the pixels next to the notch going back to a regular screen, and if you don't it's only extra screen space. Even more so with the hole punch. Why more screen bad?
Right, the old way was have a bunch of dead space at each end of the phone (and sides too). This isn't the loss of where the hole now is, this is the addition of screen around the hole that always was.
I thought it was weird at first. Now I don't even notice it.
