Oh no
You guys are all notch, notch, notch but I can’t be the only one that hates the “swipe up from here” bar that’s on seemingly every non-video screen, right?

I literally don't give a poo poo about the notch and think it looks fine. The home swipe/bar is what completely turned me off from the X.

So to answer your question, no, you aren't the only one.

Man I gotta say it seems the iPhone x uses the jailbreak tweak zephyr (gestures like swipe up for close) and man gently caress I'm jealous. Literally only thing I want the X for.

Jailbreaking is dying more and more especially as the features become iOS standard but might finally be time to ditch the hope for a 10.2 iPhone 7 jailbreaking or whatever, and just go iOS 11

I guess it's smaller than the home button and software can still draw under it and hide it, so it's better than a bezel you can't draw on or interact with ...

I don't mind the swipe bar. I like the idea of a buttonless slab, now apple just needs to figure out how to get rid of all the buttons, use wireless charging only, and no cable inputs either.

It totally looks like something that will be changed in iOS 12. I really hope we can get an option to disable it. I don’t need a white line on my screen to know that swipe up means to go to the home screen.

One of my questions is, what if the screen/home bar isn't responsive when an app freezes? Whenever Safari has locked up on me the home button was a nice reset option to get out of the lockup. I'm guessing the home bar is similarly triggered but it's been on my mind.

The home button wasn't a hardware interrupt since it stopped being an actual button and requires a driver to function at all, if the kernel is running your swipe up to go home will work even if your usermode is fuxked, if the OS has poo poo the bed you will want to use side button + volume down, which does send a hardware interrupt and works separately from the operating system, and it'll reboot the phone ...

So is the latest version of iOS 11 I have from the beta identical to what we are getting tomorrow? My 6S is running pretty slow and janky compared to iOS 10.

Happy I am getting a new phone in 4 days.

No buttons at all? Is it gonna have wii motion controls? "Shake to unlock!"

Because when I go to a friends house or something there's usually a lighting cable readily available if I really need it. Lugging around a charging pad is a lot different than a cord. Idk just a couple things 🤷🏽‍♀️yeah it's cool but idk about this whole get rid of all cords

Yes, why is this so difficult to understand? Mechanical items have a higher failure rate. This is Apple for goodness sake, if they could get rid of the power button they would. Hell, Steve Jobs hated the idea of ‘off’ buttons.

Removing TouchID is progress and it may well suck in the first iteration, but this is a company obsessed with moving the dial and you’d be deluded to think that FaceID is a stopgap and that TouchID will return in their flagship products.

Apple’s MO is forcing progress by not giving people the choice of keeping a foot in the door. Sometimes that is poo poo, like with the one port USB C MacBook, but ultimately it encourages progress, like dumping floppy drives, dumping CD drives or pushing the FireWire (lol) or Thunderbolt agenda.

I said it before in this thread, but wireless charging only will not happen until we have true ota wireless charging, forcing people to carry around a pad is never going to work.

ugh what do you mean you don't have a wireless charging pad grandma, UGH. I'm never sleeping over again

In this hypothetical world with only wireless charging your friends would have a wireless charger instead of lightning cables

Because, ironically, having both is a compromise in the long run. This is not difficult to grasp. Free your mind, be the change you want to see, try new things, your failures are your own old man, whatever cliche you feel most comfortable with. :buddy:

Having wireless and wired charging is a total corporate move though. Don’t kill off that :10bux: cable business.
