> I don't really see his attempts to use the new gestures on the old-design iPhone as proof that the new UI is better. Maybe it's better, maybe not. Maybe it's just different... but it's inconsistent. Wife has my old 6S, I had an 8 that got downgraded to a 7 because it disappeared (lost or stolen), and an iPad Pro. There's the double-click/force-press on the side to bring up the app switcher that I can live with, but I always always pull on the right side to bring up Control Center in the iPhones. It's infuriating, all the more that there is zero reason (technical, UX, UI) that Apple could not move the old devices to the new interaction model and make them consistent across all platforms, except: - don't alienate people with old habits and TouchID phones (but... still having the double-click work doesn't prevent the slide from the bottom to work too, as long as the slide from top right is implemented) - make a clear usage distinction between X/FaceID and non-X/TouchID phones (but... not devices! the TouchID iPads have it...) The net result is that people with TouchID phones just have an inconsistent experience, which is what makes it terrible at the end of the day.
