I held off on a new iPhone with a notch for as long as I could due to my extreme hatred of it. Eventually had to give in because my job wouldn’t let me keep my 7 when it stopped getting updates and forced me into a 12 and the new SE wasn’t on our plan.

As others have said, you get used to it after a while. What helped me was switching to dark mode so the notch is less noticeable on most apps and using a screen saver that “hides” the notch by using something dark at the top of the screen. It’s been about 6 months and I’m still not sold but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.
