    iPhone is pill shaped. Regardless as long as there is a space with the ratio of 16:9 in the center it doesn’t matter the shape of the edges. It would give you more real estate on the screen when doing other things than watching videos, plus the corners are not even touch friendly when held vertical.

      The videos would be smaller, or the phone would have to be huge. I can already multitask on my phone, an oval shaped phone would be incredibly impractical. A notch/cutout isn’t a big deal, it just sits in the notification bar and phones didnt even used to have screen there anyway.
      Phones getting too big is why they are harder to use one handed, not because they are rectangular.
