its due to whoever paid for the R&D for the screen asked for rounded corners. Framework just took the design and retooled the connectors for their own use case, as its significantly cheaper than commissioning a entirely new panel.
Well time to not buy it. I have a pixel 7a and the rounded corners drive me nuts, not to mention the home punch idiocracy. The phone renders a rectangle show me a rectangle.
I completely understand that there are people who want the smallest phone and laptop possible and will happily trade all kinds of things for that, including an obstructed display, but I definitely am not in that camp.
Oh god there’s rojnd d corners?

Could maybe instruct DE to cut off screen in edges to make rectangle again.
If you really want high res so bad.
Edit: on X use xrandr, on wayland more difficult and maybe not possible yet, found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1067018/change-screen-resolution-using-the-terminal-command-line-in-wayland-ubuntu-1
But hole punch cameras and round corners that go to the edges are so much better than a small bezel with square content! /s
Drives me nuts as well.

Rounded corners don’t bother me at all, but a notch sure as hell would.
What critical information are people putting in the six missing pixels?
I feel like there’s more than 1.5 pixels per corner taken out.
The bottom corners aren’t rounded.
3 pixels in each corner? Why?
Why what?
Because it comes from a laptop with rounded corners on the top of the lid and a flat hinge on the bottom.
I read somewhere it was rounded 3mm at top and 1mm at bottom. Can’t find it now.
They don’t seem to list the exact specs of the display on their website (yet), but judging by this photo:
It looks like the bottom corners are pretty much identical to the ones on the previous display.
It was in the announcement vid, you’re correct
