iPhone XS resolution: 5.8 inches at 2436 x 1125 pixels.

Nokia 7.1 resolution: 5.8-inch at 2280 x 1080 pixels.

The notch gives them nothing here, in fact it eats up pixels they could have used to make the resolution better. At least the iphone screen is dense enough to say "eh, we don't need those pixels".

What do you think the notch is for? From your comment it sounds like you think it's just for show. How does it eat pixels? The alternative would be to have a smaller screen. Also the difference in resolution is so minor it doesn't matter.
