This bit especially irked me:
"In iOS 11 X, almost every role of the home button has been subsumed by the display, with the remainder reassigned to the side button:
- Wake the device: tap the display.
- Go to the home screen: short swipe up from the bottom of display.
- Go to the multitasking switcher: longer swipe up from the bottom.
- Even better way to multitask: just swipe sideways on the home indicator.
- Accessibility shortcut: triple-click the side button.
- Authenticate: just look at the display.
- Reachability: swipe down on the bottom edge of display.
- Siri: press-and-hold side button."
5 out of 8 of those things are already achieved without the home button since the 6S.
- Redoubts 9y agoYeah, I was really surprised the long-press-left-edge wasn’t a gesture that made it to the X, among other things.
- calibration263 9y agoI loved that gesture, but I was shocked how many of my friends/coworkers didn't know about it. I think the iPhone X up and over arc is more reliable to trigger(once you figure out not to do up and hold).
- jolux 9y agoit doesn't have to be up and over, you just swipe left and right on it
- Paradise_Pete 9y agoWhich five? I count two, but no doubt I'm missing some.
- mikewhy 9y ago- Wake the device: Raise to wake - Go to the home screen: 3D touch app switcher, tap any whitespace. It used to be even easier when your home screen had its own entry in there. - Go to the multitasking switcher: 3D touch side - Even better way to multitask: 3D touch swipe - Siri: Hey Siri
