Hmm. Glad this thread was started, as I’m going to see it tomorrow. All that was said, so far, is very interesting. Portia. > On Sep 18, 2016, at 2:44 PM, Scott Granados wrote: > > Also it’s not just a vibration it’s a small vertical mounted piece that taps > the button.

Also it’s not just a vibration it’s a small vertical mounted piece that taps the button. That probably explains the difference in feel. > On Sep 18, 2016, at 4:29 PM, David Chittenden wrote: > > According to a website which took an iPhone 7 apart, the new taptic engine

According to a website which took an iPhone 7 apart, the new taptic engine is a vertical only vibration motor, rather than one which spins. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone > On 19/09/2016, at 08:19, Donna Goodin

I agree Scott. I suspect that the negative reaction--sighted and blind folks alike--is something akin to the concerns about the removal of the phone jack, i.e. apprehension of the unknown. I imagine that once most people see how similar the experience with the virtual button is, those

It’s sort of striking how real it feels considering that’s a haptic response and not a real button. I heard of objections about it on some of the mainstream media but I have to say I’m a fan. > On Sep 18, 2016, at 12:43 PM, Dan Eickmeier wrote: > > I was sceptical at first

You know, I was skeptical, too, but I really like it. In fact, like you, Scott, I barely notice the difference. The haptic feedback really does make it feel like you're actually pressing a mechanical button. Cheers, Donna > On Sep 17, 2016, at 11:51 PM, Scott Granados

I have no problem with it at all. After seeing the new trackpads that work the same way, I knew this button wouldn't be a problem, and I was correct. It is recessed, so I can feel it, and it simulates the feeling of being pressed so well that I have to remind myself that it's not actually

At first I didn't like it. The more I use it though the more I'm starting to like it. I am trying to find which setting needs the lightest press. Anyone else have any ideas? It seems like one and three both require you to press harder. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 18, 2016, at 12:51 AM,

Wonder what people think about the new home button? I was skeptical. I had a chance to hold the phone prelaunch but not use it for any length of time. It was attached to another device so we were testing from the PC and controlling the device remotely. Now that I’ve had a 24 hour period to
