Apple's use of the notch is actually quite good. It does not interfere with anything whatsoever, while giving us more screen space. It appears that the only use of the notch — at all — is for the menu bar, which is mostly in the way, anyway. When a movie is playing everything looks normal. The notch is not in use, but just black. When an app is in full-screen mode, the notch area is black. The only time it seems to pop up is for the menu bar, which is just a row of text and buttons. I think it's an excellent use of space that would otherwise be just a black bezel. I have yet to see an image where it is anything other than black, or the menu bar.
I mean, look what it replaced: A black bezel that otherwise did nothing other than be black.
