The assistive touch widget on my iPhone has meant I can wait a little before replacing it (failed home button).
It gets more extreme here in Thailand though - my sister in law and mother in law, (and I am led to believe, a lot of other people) use the assistive touch widget exclusively, instead of using the working home button, as they don't want the hardware button to break/wear out.
I don't quite understand the logic myself, but its definitely a thing.
- gurkendoktor 10y agoSame in Taiwan, everyone seems to use Assistive Touch there. I guess it's a bit like force-killing all apps before putting your phone away. It feels good to invest some effort into taking care of your expensive device.
- kalleboo 10y agoIt's the iOS equivalent of never removing the protective film from the factory. Keeps your device looking pristine, too bad you never get to actually see it.
