Anyone else hate the location of the power buttons on the new iPhones?

[Phil12299]

Same thing I was thinking, as a lefty I love it. Must be a lot of lefties in Cupertino

I have yet to be able to turn it off with ONE hand, without hitting the buttons on the side. Don't know if I'll ever get used to it. I have small hands. . . maybe that is the problem.

Absolutely love it -- Right where it should be.

Re: Hate the power button location

I switched to iPhone from a Nexus 5 so I guess my opinion doesnt matter right?

I like it! Especially for the plus, the regular 6 could of kept it in the top...

Entirely used to it now. In fact I now go for the side to power jog my iPad.

Same here and end up messing the volume.

I like it on my 6.

Yes yes yes I HATE IT! Would never have bought a 6 if it weren't for Pay !

I would love an old 3GS with the guts of a 6

I understand moving the power button from the top but Apple should have copied Nokia by putting the buttons all on one side. It is much easier because you just use your thumb for everything.

Yup I hate the new power button location on the new phone, cause I keep hitting it while playing some games in landscape....I keep making my phone sleep by accident...

Same...

I like the location. If it were any lower, it could mess up you using the volume buttons as well.

I've been using a Samsung s5, so that's another reason why I like the placement. I think they are about the same. The Sony z3 has it lower and I thought it felt weird.

I think the placement ideal position is personal and probably depends on the size of their own hand. I have fairly small hands and it feels right to me at least. To each their own.

I originally reached for the top, but after about a week or so, not only do I reach for the side, I actually feel that's where it needed to be (although I'm still hitting the volume buttons at the same time sometimes)

I like the new location of the button. It works great for me!

I'm kind of used to it because I've been using galaxy devices for the past few years but I also used the iPhone and iPod touch so I remember where the buttons used to/should go!

 

[phreddyl]

Took about 2 days to get used to it. Now if only my iPod touch was that way...

It is simply the logical design progression as devices evolve in size. I'm used to it now.

I am accustomed to have the power button on the side of the phone since I often switched between Android and iPhones so its not an issue for me. If anything apple finally moving it to the side is a smart move since its more normal to push the power button there (for me anyways).

 

[ebuyerstore]

I have no problem with that

 

[Flow39]

No problems here, love the placement of the buttons

 

[EmceeGeek]

Nope, I like it. I think it's very convenient.

I hated it at first. I'm used to it now and it's fine.
