so you guys know I've been using the iPhone 10 for a little while I'm gonna reserve some of my feedback for an upcoming video after I've been using it for at least a week but something has been making the headlines this morning I've been on the tech websites and I've learned about this app that aims to get rid of the knotch on the iPhone 10 the controversial notch that everyone's talking about is this interesting is this something you should go and download especially since they're charging money for the app so this is the app right here it's called notch remover get an idea from that image there of what its gonna look like when you get rid of it starts to look kind of like a Galaxy s8 to be honest I'll show you here how it looks with a couple different wallpapers so I'll head over there and open it up you don't mean the other guys we've looked at it and we're like you know it doesn't the iPhone doesn't look that bad with the black bar at the top I could see some people preferring this had Apple just come out with a device like that I don't know though maybe there's some notch lovers maybe you're a notch lover but this app will take your stock wallpaper and throw that notch in there now if you just kind of glance these articles and downloaded the app you might have thought that the notch was gonna be gone everywhere but they've just used the kind of weird little hack here to remove the notch from the phone by attaching it to a wallpaper and also just in general the apps kind of not that good like I'm looking at this I'm like okay that looks good safe and then what did it do it saved it where did it save it what it's actually doing is saving it to the camera roll you can select any image what you can't do is you can't go to your wallpapers download the wallpaper separately but anyway if I go ahead and just select one of these images here and then hit save it now takes this stock iPhone 10 background essentially removes the knotch but of course what it's really doing is filling in the knotch it's creating this black outline on each side of the knotch that's what your stock setup looks like knotch now if I go to my wallpapers here and select the newly created image from the app you can scale it to right where you think it fits in kind of somewhere around there then I'm gonna set it set to both and when I get back out look at that the notch is dead KABOOOM okay so this is you you're happy then not just gone it's what you've always wanted and you think you're off to the races you think you just bought the the greatest app ever if you're a notch hater but then you go and you open an app you open Safari then the knots come screaming back in this app is really it's kind of strange it's strange in the sense that it only does the thing it claims to do from within your main phone area here which is I don't know how frequent you're there the surprising part here is the fact that this app even exists because in Apple's developer terms for the App Store you're not supposed to have an app like this that attempts to hide the knotch but anything like this is supposed to be blocked and somehow this thing made it through one cool aspect though is it kind of does a good job of displaying how great OLED displays are if I hold this up to Jack over here it's hard to distinguish where the screen starts and ends and the knotch actually is just by filling in the display with black look at that but the question is really for you guys what do you think when you see an iPhone like this notch free even though it's not permanently not free but instead just on the background here do you kind of wish that Apple made this device like do you wish this is how it looked instead or do you prefer the knotch do you think that extra little bit of real estate up there is useful to you or or is it aesthetically pleasing so let me know in the comments if this is something you guys are gonna do does the knotch bother you so much you're gonna try to eliminate it with this particular app are you gonna spend the $0.99 if so I'll link the app down in the description but in my opinion I would save the $0.99 get yourself a coffee strike up a conversation with somebody at the coffee shop and get over the knotch you'll learn to live with it I think
