I also don't like the idea of a big, honkin' screen. I am small-handed, and
appreciate it when I don't have to reach far for items; I know you can do
that "reachability" thing, but it's also about just not wanting a wider
distance from edge to edge. Plus, I don't want to have to find more real
estate within whatever carry-bag I happen to have, just to accommodate a
larger screen. If I were low-vision and not total, that would probably be
different.

Subject: Re: Apple's new iphones
I see a couple of things about not having a home button. The first one is
the touch ID is simply more convenient for me as a blind person then Face
ID. I don’t have to be looking at the phone. I can have it on my desk even
under my desk on my keyboard shelf, and activate it with touch ID. I could
have it in my pocket and activate it with touch ID. Also, if you happen to
be one of those blind people who can’t use the attention feature of the Face
ID, Face ID is massively not secure. If somebody takes your iPhone, all they
have to do is put it in front of your face, and it opens, and they have
access to everything. And that can be a problem in certain settings. If you’re
lucky enough to be able to use the attention setting, which all ighted
people do, that’s not a big deal. But in certain settings, it’s everything
from a nuisance to a serious risk. And finally, there is the matter of the
gestures. Yes, I’m sure they are doable. Blind people are doing them. But it’s
just so unnecessary. It’s just a shame that they couldn’t keep a phone
around with the home button and touch ID. But everybody has to have giant
displays so they can watch movies on their phones I guess. It certainly is
the wave of the future for Apple. So if you’re going to stick with Apple
products, guess you have to get on the bandwagon. I certainly would not buy
either of the S models. If I get an ex this year, it’s going to be the R. I
just don’t see enough bang for the buck to splurge on those other things. If
I traveled a lot, the dual sim feature is interesting. And the stereo
recording would be good for some people. But it’s not worth at least $250
more over the cost of the entry-level r model.

Yeah I must say I feel the same way. I am really attached to touch id.

It looks like Apple is done with the home button for good, the 3 new
iphones
that Apple announced are based on the new iphone X form factor, the
Iphone
XS replaces the Iphone X from last year, the Iphone XS max sounds like
it's
the plus version with a larger screen, and the Iphone XR is the cheaper
version. The iphone 7 and 8 will remain as Apple's budget iphone models
and
the Iphone SE has been discontinued. This means that Apple no longer
sells
any phones with a small form factor now or that have a headphone jack. I
got
an iphone 8 and iphone SE earlier this year so have no interest in
getting
any of these new ones at this point, and I'm just not ready to give up
the
home button yet either.
