gollark: It's not like "oh no where do I put my camera" is an unsolved problem.
gollark: I think the companies do, in fact, know roughly what the majority of people want, and the people who care much about repairability and dislike notches and whatever else are in the minority.
gollark: Sounds like something which could break easily.
gollark: Among many other things!
gollark: I just want actual rectangular screens and no weird camera notches again!
