Be honest: how long did it take you to get used to it?

[Evilguppy]

The no home button, the hand gestures etc.
Because I tried playing with a X at the Apple store and it was mind boggling.
I ask because even though my iPhone 7 Plus « appeared » to have survived its trip through the soak and spin cycle, I can see that it doesn’t work quite right anymore and it’s full of hiccups so I might need to upgrade afterall.

To be perfectly honest a day at most. The only thing I still find myself messing up is when I go to close apps. I forget about the second step of long pressing till the red circle is there to start swiping away. Other than that it became second nature really quick.

Took me literally an hour or two which was surprising! I come from an S8 though not an iphone so i guess i was used to not having a home button

 

[rong21]

not long, maybe an hour or two at most

 

[metllicamilitia]

No time. I was used to it right away. I try to use apps that have gestures. I love them. I did tap the bottom of the screen a couple times and try to bring up control center from the bottom a couple times. But other than that in the first couple days, it was no adjustment for me personally.

Less than a day. When I try to use an iPad or iPhone with a home button now, I always attempt all the gestures I do with the X before I realize I must use the home button for some things on those devices.

Maybe an hour or two. I find the gestures, aside from swiping down for control center, to be very natural.

 

[nnahorski]

Not too long, maybe a couple of days. Everything seems normal and intuitive except for bringing down the control center and Notification Center. I find myself using gestures on my iPad and of course they don’t work. Oops

Coming from an iPhone 7 it took me maybe 2 - 3 hours if that. Not very steep learning curve.

 

[gyounk]

5 minutes. It was very easy to

 

[mrbjr]

Probably 5 minutes and I’m almost 8o!

 

[TripleOne]

Almost instantly.
I adapt quite easily when it comes to technology.

 

[Onker1]

Shouldn’t be a worry! Just do it, it doesn’t take long at all and you won’t look back! Good Luck

I was very comfortable with it by the end of the first day. I only occasionally reach for the home button and that’s if I’m busy and quickly responding to a text. Other than that, the transition was seamless.

 

[ajb1965]

Not very long at all for me. Minutes actually, but I had only used iOS for about a month before I got it so I wasn't entrenched in the 'old way' of doing things.

It took no time at all to get used to the gestures, but heck, it took a few days to break the habit of picking up my iPhone and instinctively pressing the screen where the home button typically is.

 

[Chief G-Hawk]

It took me less than 1 minute to get used to the iPhone X. It's that easy for me.

WebOS and BlackBerry 10 users from the past will probably instantly adapt! lol

I honestly got used to not having a home button within a few hours. The gestures just seemed so natural and they made sense. Face ID is what took the most time to get used to for me. Took me at least a week or so to truly get used to it. The lack of the home button was super simple.

This x 100. Man I miss WebOS. If that ever came back I’d drop iOS in a heartbeat lmao.
