Just Saying
Apple's Next MobilePhones will MoreThanLikely be referred to as
iPhone9 Followed by iPhone10 ... Note: Apple used the RomanNumeral
for 10, which is X probably because they intend to Label a Future

Hello All,
Well, I now have an iPHone X, on loan for a few days.
I must say, as has been reported by others, that the new Home/App switcher
gesture commands work beautifully with VoiceOver. Also, Face ID was a
breeze to set up, however, I would like to note that I have enough vision to
see exactly how to position the front-facing camera.
Be that as it may, as a low-vision user, I toggle the Invert Color feature
on and off, countless times during the day.
On previous iPHone models, this was not a problem being that the Home button
was located in the bottom center of the phone.
However, with iPHone X, I must use the side button, located on the right
side of the device.
I am left-handed. In fact, to my surprise, I realized that I am really,
really a left-handed person when it comes to iPhone. (smile)
Consequently, it is no longer as convenient to use Invert Colors as I am
having to toggle this feature with either my right hand or hold the phone in
a slightly awkward position in order to reach the side button with my middle
finger on my left hand.
I do not have a case for this phone so don't know if I'd be able to reach
the button with my left hand were the device placed inside such an
accessory.
In terms of making a decision as to which phone to purchase, I will need
more time with iPhone X. However, I can tell you that, at this point, I am
leaning towards iPHone 8 Plus if for no other reason but that I prefer the
triple-click button to be in a more neutral location on the phone than is
currently the case on iPHone X.
If there were no iPHone 8 series, I would most likely purchase iPhone X and
learn to live with it; however, currently I have a choice and for this I am
grateful.
What I hope is that, someday, Apple, along with all the other hardware
manufacturers, will allow user-defined hardware button assignments. For
example, iPHone 11 would have 4 hardware buttons, 2 on each side and the
user could determine which is for volume up, Siri, Screen Lock, etc.
Per chance to dream, eh? (smile)
Mark
