So because of the home button removal we have to: >swipe down

>>62397019
>using Meme DeMarco in product presentation
I refuse to buy it for this reason alone

>>62397019
but swiping is the most intuitive gesture there is
fuck keeping your finger in one location and pressing down, that's stone age shit

I actually like those last 3. But I cant reach the top of my iPhone 6 (not plus) so requiring to reach the top for two major things on a longer phone is shitty

>>62397019
And android will follow now that apple have innovated again

All of that sounds reasonable to me. I'm looking forward to the day that there's no ports or buttons on my phone.

But that fucking top notch is killing me. I can't be the only person that cringes every time they see it? Steve Jobs would have never let that come to market.

>>62397079
The notch is all I see. I've upgraded every year since the 5. This is the first year I pass and stick with my 7+. This is gross.

>>62397094
isn't the 8 still an improvement without the notch?

>>62397157
with the 7+*

>>62397157
makes sense desu
I'm still using an iphone 5 myself, it does everything I need it to so I don't care about upgrading

So what happens when the phone freezes and theres no hard-button to press, only useless swiping?

>>62397174
The SE got a price cut to $350, that's a hell of a deal, and if you're still on the 5 it would be a worthy upgrade for almost double the battery life alone.

>>62397229
you use the power button to turn it off
fuck knows how to do a hard restart without the home button to press at the same time

>>62397229
>when the phone freezes
I've had the 7 for a year and it has never frozen once. Could be wrong, but I don't think that is really a thing anymore for most Apple users.

>>62397019
All because apple industrial designers had set their internal goal of a bezel-less display

the amount of great UX design points that have been thrown on the chopping block to ship this are ridiculous

>>62397304
>The SE got a price cut to $350, that's a hell of a deal

SE's are $130-150 as prepaid phones. You can use them on your plan with the same network. I just bought one for $139.99 from BestBuy for AT&T.

>>62397315
power + volume down like with the 7's

>>62397229

Microsoft thought the same thing would happen with Windows 8; gestures are intuitive! Guess fucking what, they aren't, they're a pain in the ass to remember and I have a strong hunch there will be a software update that'll change the gestures around multiple times.

how long will it take for people to stop accidentally closing apps when they really wanted the control center?
Do these new gestures work on iphone 8 as well, or are they specific to the X and the old 'swipe up for notification center' remains on the 8?

They also ditched the finger print sensor. Not only previous iPhone had it, most decent phones have it. My moto G has one, it's actually good it turns out. Why would you buy a flagship with less features, man. Why buy a flagship at all.

>>62402222

Because they couldn't figure out how to get the fingerprint sensor to work through the screen, so they gave up and we are left with this abomination. Jobs would have murdered puppies over this.

its not an android phone it wont freeze

OK guys don't know anything about it so let me know, what's about this new phone? Bezel less (ugly design, the s8 and even the mix are much nicer), insanely expensive, no fingerprint (?!), Retarded ui with no buttons, I hope at the very least that they went from lighting port to the fucking usb-c...

What about facial recognition, is it tied to the webcam or has something like ir 3D scanning

>>62397072
I am using gestures on my android via Nova Launcher for years already retard

BB10OS is gesture based, it's great. It'll grow on you if you don't like it off the bat.

Patent that shit before Apple does it!

>>62397229
You hold the vol up (or down?) and the lock button and it hard resets.

>no physical keys on lower bezel that are always lit up according to ambient lighting that save screenspace

>>62405493
Whether or not it receives updates is irrelevant, the point is that is gesture based and great.

>>62397072
we have had gestures since ics and even before in custom launchers on froyo

as someone who switched over to android after the 3g, the swipe up gestures, coupled with apple's standard swipe to back behaviour, is smarter and more consistent than the android soft buttons.

the swipe down from the top right is silly and they should just do their notification shades like android instead of a control center (they should just do all their notifications like android).

the cut out isn't horrible and most people won't care about it an hour into use.

face id is silly. i've used my phone for 90% of all my regular transactions ever since my local supermarket got contactless terminals in, and the thought of taking a mock selfie every time i want to pay for something is actually a deal breaker.

the price is silly and normalises the $1k flagship. fuck that.

still tho, best iphone since the 5.
the last exciting iphone.

>>62405649
>the last exciting iphone.
>has absolutely no clue what the successor will be like

>>62405682
they'll stick a fingerprint scanner under the screen and improve the cameras some more.
eventually they'll work out a way to get the front facing sensors under the display.

there's nothing else left to do.

they know it as well. that's why they're pushing AR and burning people's eyes in their labs testing displays for glasses.

When wifw rings me at 3am because whores will she have to use her face to unlock phone? This will make her rage harder and take it out on me.

>>62397019

OP is gigantic phaggot

>>62405763
and you could have told those guys that edge-to-edge displays would come and the software would have to be adapted to suit that. you could have told them that years ago.

hey, maybe you can point me to RED and their lightfield display phone, but it won't really change the fundamental experience. it's still interactions on a 2d surface.

there's nothing else.

>>62406033

>>62406043
