Hello All, I have recently received my beautiful new iPhone X. I love the design of this phone. The glass front and metal sides are what I loved about my first iPhone, the iPhone 4. I have been waiting for years for Apple to go back to this design.
I have heard a ton of chatter about why the iPhone is not the phone for everyone, and why the iPhone 8 is better, but I am extremely glad that I went with the iPhone X. This phone has made me fall in love with the iPhone interface and the sheer quality of Apple’s craftsmanship all over again. I am completely blind and I have to use VoiceOver. The new home buttonless interface was a trick for about the first 20 to 30 mins I had the device. After that the gestures to unlock the phone and even get to the Notification Center or the control center has become second nature. Closing apps…. To close apps you will need to find the lower most part of the touch screen (The Home Indicator), you will hear VoiceOver make a little popping sound, and you will also feel the haptic feedback pop once as well. You then start to drag your finger up the screen and you will hear and feel another pop. This second pop will indicate that you have performed the exit gesture properly, and you now should be back on your home screen. Opening the App Switcher…. To open the App Switcher, you will have to find the lower most part of the touch screen (Home Indicator). You will drag your finger up the screen just like exiting out of an app, you will hear and feel the same indicators as exiting an application, this time though you will keep draggingg past the exit app sound and haptic feedback. You will then keep dragging up to about the middle of the touch screen and you will hear and feel another indication letting you know that you are now opening the app switcher. Now you can use the typical gestures you normally use to close apps completely. Control Center and Notification Center… Getting in to the Control Center and Notification Center is much like exiting apps and getting into the App Switcher. Find the status bar at the top of the screen and You will do a one finger drag down the screen you will hear and feel the pop once your finger is on the status bar. Drag down and you will hear and feel the first pop to let you know you are passing the control center, stop dragging if you want to activate the control center, keep dragging until you hear and feel a pop to get to the Notification Center. Once you are in either the Control center or the Notification Center you can use your standard group of VoiceOver gestures. Over All I really love this phone and it has made me love using iOS again. The buttonless world is upon us and it isn’t all that scary. Come in the water is fine.
