accessibility in the notch vs the menu bar
The menu bar is always there; accessibility in NotNotch is glanceable and then gone. Live chips expose combined accessibility labels and respect reduced motion on the site.

When the notch is better
Use accessibility in the notch when you want a short live view without another icon in the menu bar.
When the menu bar stays
NotNotch does not hide Control Center or system extras. accessibility complements them.
