As much as I enjoy the X, I can definitely see where the buttonless interface will seem unintuitive to some older and more casual users. A lot of people feel comfortable with the old status quo, and see no reason to have to relearn certain aspects of using their device.
I’m not one of those people though![]()
Who you calling old? I'm just turning the corner to 50 and the current swipe, swipe, then swipe again interface is pretty pre-school/remedial. More steps/more seconds wasted on the X to accomplish many of the same tasks I used to accomplish easier/faster on my 7+. I'm sticking with the X because I've been with apple products long enough to trust them to bring the software forward to match the hardware's capabilities - not because I can't learn something new or it's unintuitive. There is a difference. Right now, the hardware is way better than the software.
