Hi Alex, Yeah I still find it odd but I really have to say it's not as bad as people might think,
For a start it was crap as I couldn't get it to work for me. Now although it's only been 24 hours I've pretty much got it It's a case of tap on the screen to wake the device then slide firmly one finger up from the botton edge of the screen until you feel a vibration under finger and then it will have woken enough to either enter the pin code or use face id. Still as I haven't yet setup face id yet so that's a weekend job as the light wasn't in my favour lastnight. Still lots more hopefully to come on the x. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Thursday, 16 November 2017 6:27 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: it's here, the X My main question for blind iPhone X users is about the home button. I've seen some real negativity on Twitter about the decision to remove the home button, but have not come across any such negativity in the real world. How do users like the change? The Touch Bar on the MacBook, for instance, is plenty usable but often less efficient than physical keys are. Or is it more like the two-finger gesture on iPad under iOS11, which makes accessing apps faster and more fluid, at least to me? Or is it something else entirely?
