iPhone 13 (Pro) Notch in YouTube Videos (App)

Submitted by Task_ID t3_10qal61 in iphone

Hello, I wanted to ask if the Notch still goes slightly into the video when watching 2:1 (18:9) YouTube Videos in the App. It looks really weird in my opinion, and I wanted to know if there was some fix for that since the iPhone 13 has been around for 2 years now. I didn't really find anything online.

Here is an 18:9 (2:1) Video to test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVaILEl9mIE

I would be really thankful if somebody with the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro could test this and tell me if this is still a thing (isn't an issue on 13 Pro Max, only normal and Pro).

Thanks in advance!

I’ve only ever seen it on the video you linked, honestly.

I don’t consider it a dealbreaker by any means, but it’s definitely there, no matter how small. Mildly annoying but it wouldn’t massively bother me.

I can honestly say that I have never had any notch-related issues when watching any video content on my iPhone 13. This includes Hulu, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, PlutoTV, purchased iTunes content, or YouTube (other than the video you linked in the original post) and any other streaming service I’ve used.

If you ZOOM the content, then of course the notch comes into play. But only when zoomed. Most video apps are intelligent enough to scale properly so the notch isn’t an issue in the slightest.
