Are you going to miss the home button?

[Premium1]

I don't think I will miss it. That being said, it will probably take me about a week or two to get used to not having the home button, but I like the move towards gestures on the OS.

If you are several screens away from the home screen what will be the shortcut to get to the home screen? Currently you click the home button to take you to the home screen.

Thanks

Thanks for that, but that doesn't answer the question. That will take you to the screen that the app is on, but if that screen is three or four screens away from the home screen what is the shortcut to get to the home screen?

I do too!
I enjoy gestures to be honest.

In the last few days I have noticed how much easier I (hope) FaceID will be instead of TouchID in just looking to unlock an app instead of having to touch the home button. It could actually make things quicker so long as apps are updated to support FaceID.

Probably find out quickly. I'm thinking after having every iPhone since the first, I probably will. But like everything, I'll get over it as I learn the new UI.

I don't think I'll miss it. I'm looking forward to learning new gestures. It kinda gives me the excitement I used to get years ago when I got a new phone.

I would love to have a virtual home button although I have to admit that physical button is better.

Agree. Hopefully that is a quick update and not super delayed like many were with TouchID.

The good news is any app that supported TouchID automatically supports FaceID.

The iPhone X has no home button. It DOES have FaceID and a webOS-inspired swipe up to go home gesture instead. You think you're going to miss the home button?

Personally, having used (er, LOVED) webOS years ago, I'm not going to miss the home button one bit. Seems like a lot of wasted space to me, give me more screen, and smart gestures to interact with the UI!

If I get the iPhone X, I’m sure I’d miss the hone button initially, but I won’t have any problems adjusting to not having it. More than likely, I’ll get mad at my iPad Pro and iPhone 8 for still having it....

I uses iphone 7 plus since earlier this year after a very long time with blackberry. My last blackberry device is passport. When i first move to bb10, i don’t really have any problem adapting to the gesture with no home button. But when i moved to iphone, I constantly swipe my iphone up. So for me, it is about time iphone remove the button. It is too old school.

I won’t miss it. If I was going to miss it, I would have ordered the 8. I’m prepared to be without it.

Home button? No. Fingerprint sensor, very much so.

I think having no home button is the future for iPhone.

Dont worry about missing the home button. Apple has you covered for $199.

Nice. I did not know that. should save a lot of apps from needing to be updated.
