Same. Home button is sooo much better than swiping gestures

The physical home button is, no bullshit, one of the greatest pieces of UI ever. No, I am not kidding, I really think that. It’s crazy to me that they abandoned it, the gestures that replace its functionality are overall-worse and cluttering the gesture system with even more of them is bad for the overall UX.

Maybe you know this but it wasn't a physical button since i think iphone 7 - it was a haptic sensor.

True, and in my opinion it was a worse experience than the previous physical one.

I agree with this, while also thinking it was basically physical-enough that the home button still served the same UI purpose about as well as before. But yes it was a step down from the real button.

The haptic sensor is almost as good as the physical button, and the trade off of not having to worry about it breaking (which was likely after a few years with the physical ones) is well worth it for me.

Thanks to RobWords [1] I at least remember thorn (Þ) pronunciation and could mostly decipher 1400. Not much past that, though

I remember that video well

I think it made teenage me empathize a bit more with my parents, about how bleak can existence feel.

I use Clover

Completely agree

Gave it a try. Worked great!

Thank you for trying it out! Much appreciated :D

EDIT: Windows-only

Personally I've cringed at every design decision he's brought about since iOS 7 and the flat design push. Skeuomorphism was perfect, and virtually every Apple product has been dragged down since then.

Thank you for saying this. After their switch to the ultra flat design, I'm still unsure where the buttons are. It's ridiculous.
