Adjusting with new devices is not easy, it takes months. Users have no control over Apple’s decisions, they surprise customers. The basic thing is unlocking the phone, users can’t slide now. Apple is really testing their loyalty this time, things are extremely complicated. There were various rumours about the design; Phil Schiller confirmed it in September.
The button is solid; it brought some really positive things. Some buttons can’t withstand heavy usage, they wear out easily. Users press this button all the time, the hardware gets affected. If the main button becomes faulty, the entire phone becomes unusable. If buttons have a moving section, the chances of failure are more.
Moving parts were omitted this time, the hardware became more secure. Users can press it as many times as they want, no issues will come up. Apple’s engineering is fantastic here; they solved a major problem here. The button’s click sensitivity is not fixed, it can be customized. Apple left this functionality for users; they will make the desired changes. There is no room for dissatisfaction, the initial setup asks everything. Apple changed this for many reasons, they were many complaints. Water will not disturb its functions, the debate can go on. In 2017, some radical redesigns will come forward, the journey has begun.
Another vital point is the responsiveness, the touches don’t feel different. Macbook users always loved the trackpad, it never felt dull. Apple takes the sensitivity issue very seriously; they will not let users complain about this. The physical button was much slower, there were lags. The surface area is small, but it understands pressure like any other sensitive device. The negatives must be considered to, skin contact should be present all the time. Siri can help here; the entire operation can be done through voice commands. At first, all users will feel odd; a lot of adjustment is required.
