Hi, I just installed the 2024120900 alpha build on the pixel 9 pro xl, and the status bar is a lot larger. The bottom of it used to be just below the camera cutout, but now the top and bottom of it are equidistant from the cutout
Status bar much bigger
I may have figured out what happened, the cutout now grows to indicate the front camera is in use, its maybe to accommodate that?
The Pixel 9 series gets a thicker status bar with the taller design helping contain the larger front-facing camera.
