Here's the recipe I followed:
1. Place the phone in a durable bag.
2. Hammer it for 15 minutes or until the frustration with arbitrary
design distinctions passes.
3. Mail the device to the manufacturer with a note reading, "Design
improvements".
4. Buy a phone from a vendor with more confidence than one who needs
to frustrate their entire ecosystem with arbitrary design distinctions.
;)
OK - granted I had to look up what a Notch is... I'm sure someone
thought it was a good idea at the time. All right... not quite so sure.
Probably more along the lines of "what can we do to make smartphones
less usable? We've already got folks typing with their thumbs..."

This looks like it might help...

I'd already seen the second link. The first one is amusing in its own
way. Maybe some notchy person can tell me whether LC apps (in fullscreen
mode) take up the whole screen or if they instead get pushed down
underneath the eyesore.
It's all Apple's fault, they started all this.
