For me too, the X was everything I’d waited for. I thought. But it didn’t deliver. I’m glad for you that for you it did.I do, and it’s still slower than on the X. The double click is muscle memory.
And it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s SLOWER than on the X.
Just say you didn’t like it and returned it, but the “it’s soooooo labooooorious” is a real stretch.
Edit
And yes the thread is for people who went from the plus to the X - which is why I posted at all considering I’ve been exclusively Plus models since they were created, with the exception of the 8 Plus because the X was everything I’d waited for. When I have to do something on my JB 7 Plus (my husband has it now, and since he’s not techy I’m the one who does the updating and maintenance on it) it’s frustrating as heck to not have the gestures to get around.
I’ve been upset since 11 was introduced, that they introduced (more) gestures on the iPad, but not on the pluses. It would be great to be able to flick upwards to go task switching or back to the menu.
However, why the clumsy procedure to close apps on the X? Yes, to me this is soooooo laboooorious. Both the legacy devices and the X run on the same OS, why ALTERING a feature to make it worse, on ONE device? The explanation to prevent more users from closing apps at all is utterly ridiculous.
I also get annoyed by the weight and the size of the plus, and got excited when the X got announced. Bigger screen than the plus, but overall almost as small as the non plus only? Didn’t that sound great?
The more I got disappointed when figuring out that there was not really a bigger screen (not even equally sized, compared to the plus, this is also what many reviews say, the plus feels bigger, although in terms of square inches, the X might be bigger).
There are some more issues that I’m having with the X, but I don’t want to over-stretch this thread.
I’m happy for everybody who is happy with the X, I’m not. At least not in its current form.
