Hi Alex, >From the iphone 7+ side of things, Yes the x is far faster and quicker response time
I can’t say anything about the 8 or 8+ but I would assume again that it’s quicker mainly due to the processor and ram in the devices From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Saturday, 18 November 2017 2:23 PM To: 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: it's here, the X One other question for any X users. I've read that the screen samples touches faster than any other iOS device. Does this translate to smoother VO experiences? That is, do swipes or other gestures register faster, making VO feel snappier overall compared to a 7 or 8? Or is the difference not really noticeable? -- Alex Hall On Nov 17, 2017, at 16:39, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com<mailto:si...@blinky-net.com>> wrote: All I can say is that it's different.

Like simon said, once you get use to it it’s fine. You place your finger, start sliding up, the first feedback you get is to close the app or folder, if you keep going you get the app switcher. I think it will come down to personal preference, I like the no home button, but a lot of sited useres like the 8 because it still has it. I have also learned you can still get to notifications and the control center the exact same way. This one is hit or miss, but sometimes when I am in a folder, I just place my finger at the bottom of the screen, and press down a bit and the folder closes for me. Not every time, but about 45 percent of the time.

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?

The device is very quick, and although smaller physically it’s stil got great screen realestate to work with, So I’d say so far it’s been worth the wait but still more playing around to come over the next couple of days At least the iPhone x doesn’t slap me if I put my hand in the wrong place. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
