Yep, Apple doesn't want devs to blackbar it.

https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/o...

"Don't mask or call special attention to key display features. Don't attempt to hide the device's rounded corners, sensor housing, or indicator for accessing the Home screen by placing black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Don't use visual adornments like brackets, bezels, shapes, or instructional text to call special attention to these areas either."

"Don't hide it because there's nothing wrong with it... but don't draw any extra attention to it either."

It's like the way people talk about moles or scars.

It's good the screen extends around the sensors. People will figure out better way to use it, or you might say, work around it.

Same feeling I get when websites have sticky headers – just like the one on apple.com
