Today, Apple emailed iOS developers to announce that all new apps submitted from April 2018 onward must be built with the iOS 11 SDK and must support the iPhone X's new display. According to some developers, the notch isn't the issue. "The home indicator, the thin bar that's ever-present in the UI to let you know you can swipe up to go to the home screen or to multitask—is the real hassle." This announcement could indicate that the notch and style of user interface is here to stay within iOS.
