Hi Terri, You can still completely disable passcode and Face Id if you want. I think people who own any of the X phones without a home button get used to the gestures to get out of an app and to bring up the app switcher pretty quickly. I will have my 6S Plus for at least another year and possibly two and therefore I am not at all worried about figuring out the gestures, who knows what Apple comes up with in a year or two. Most likely these gestures will still be around, but then again who really knows.

I found it to be rather interesting, and different. But I also found it to be rather frustrating. I did not know that now you either have to use a passcode, or face ID. I honestly feel it should be your personal choice rather or not as to if you should have to use any of it. But that's just me. I am 1 who never mis-places their phone. I don't leave it unattended, and it's always on me, or near me. But I also realize that not everyone is this fortunate. I knew there was no longer a home button. I really didn't care for this. I mean, how in the world does anyone get back to a main screen? Or out of either an App you are in, or out of a list of your Apps? I know it's doable, because I listened to what Voiceover told me to do. But I just could not get the hang of those gestures. I kept closing Apps, and I wasn't even using 3 fingers to slide up. So it was a very odd, and unusual experience. I would like to spend more time with 1 of these phones, just to try and figure it out. But I don't think I want to personally own 1. But I know in time these are likely going to be the only options I have. So I feel I should have a better grasp of how to use 1. I will say that I liked the feel of the phone in my hand. I liked the texture of it. It was out of the case. So that was my experience. I just wanted to share this with you all.
