No. What Ive means by that is they were bound by the constraints in technology so far so they could not achieve this vision so far.
This is similar to what James Cameron said after filming 'Avatar' that his vision was to create such a film for more than a decade but slow technology advancement was the reason he could not make this film sooner.
Yes, they have failed so far. It's not all screen. It's got a small bezel and the sensor notch at the top. They will need to develop different materials to support a strong bezel-free phone and sensors that sit inside/behind the screen. They are not there yet.
just looking at their own website it becomes so glaring on any screen where the background isn't black. for me it actually looks worse than keeping a border area.
I agree; the cutout steals my attention each time I see it since it's so stark when the background isn't black. I would have rather it just have a small forehead.
