They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

      This is true, and my last phone with a notification LED was like this, but I found that having the light recessed made it a lot harder to see from across the room since you’re dependending quite a bit on viewing angle.

      Yes, but this has issues, too. Because dust clogs up the grills and suddenly the led is badly visible.
