iOS 11 On My iPhone X - Some UI Observations

You sure there isn't a setting to enable battery percent?

--- Post Merged, Nov 1, 2017 ---

Also, can you post a screen comparison picture?

 

No am/pm will drive me nuts. MERIDIANGATE!

 

Because there isn't room in the status bar.

 

Sure there is, inside the battery icon.

 

Gross. No.

 

There would be if they didn't opt for the notch lol

 

Why don't people just use 24-hour time?

 

No battery percentage is well known. Space at the bottom has barely been mentioned, but makes sense for when the keyboard is in use.

 

how are triple click accessibility options handled without a home button

 

triple click the side button.

 

If there weren’t the empty space, the keyboard would be uncomfortably low down for typing on. I’m sure Apple tested numerous positions to find the best all-round keyboard location for comfort.

 

Well, a lot of the reviews say even Apple's own apps aren't optimized for the iPhone X. That being said, you will see a refinement in gestures and UI in subsequent iOS releases. For the time being though, I find a lot of UI decisions on the iPhone X questionable.

 

Pretty sure Apple tested with the keyboard lower.. Guessing it wasn't nice to type with.

But, don't see why Apple couldn't fill that space with something else.. Third party keyboards could probably come up with something unique there too... Maybe a scribble area? or emoji suggestions? or...?

 

The video of the screen recording from the iPhone X looks super narrow on my 7 Plus

 

Because it's taller.. So, it needs to shrink by a ratio. Remove some height, remove some width too...

 

Don't knwo why they didn't use that bottom space for text prediction/emoji bar?

Would have made sense and been a good location to quickly select a full word...

 

I watched your video last night mate and here's a question regarding the keyboard having shifted a little upwards compared to the screen realestate, does it actually ruin the experience of typing? Apart from the Cosmetic appearance.
I must say, I think I've only seen oneother person while watching tons of youtubers who has actually recieved the Space Grey device, hope it's the color you wanted.

 

There's room in the top row of each 'ear' for another 2 icons. 4 in total.

To have the option to enable that would be ideal.

 

I agree with having options, unfortunately Apple are known not to give you many options with regards to customizing their devices, but I would have rather had the option of the battery % indicator instead of the battery symbol itself.

 

With regard to the %, I was thinking how they allow the option currently. I agree they err to minimise customisation, but allowing this, as they do now, wouldn't be too loco for Apple.

 

I wonder if typing turned out to be quite difficult when the keyboard is at the very bottom of the device.

 

This would have been my first suggestion, a bar with most recently used emoji or something like that.

 

This is the first iOS made for the iPhone X. Obviously there are going to be future refinements and improvements. Just keep making suggestions directly to Apple (or complain more on these forums as it seems Apple monitors them).
