Why? Why would you need to use buttons on a device that's dead?
If you want to turn it on, its impossible... And if you charge your phone it automatically works again...

Mmkay good, gloves are what I was worried about, it's still easiest to control the volume with the iPhone buttons in my pocket rather than try to be precise with Siri with Airpods, I do this frequently when shoveling.
Sometimes they suffer from that "Designed in California" when their products hit somewhere with a real winter, hopefully they've learned from that and test it rigorously in all environments.
I can imagine the haptic buttons being really sleek and Apple-ey like the Dynamic Island, like you touch them with light pressure and something on screen hints that you've found the volume up or down, a little peek at the volume slider bumping up, and then you press more thoroughly and get a nice haptic and visual feedback.
Though, does it sound like you have to manually adjust the pressure sensitivity for wearing gloves? Hopefully you don't have to keep putting it back and forth if it's too sensitive for without when sensitive enough for gloves etc

Amen. The amount of complaining on this site by people who haven't even used the new feature yet boggles the mind. It's sad.
I remember when Apple first introduced MacgSafe on laptops back in the early 00's. People on this forum were up in arms – many stating things like "Brilliant Apple: put a magnet right next to electronics! Apple's engineers are so dumb." These same people didn't realize that harddrives of the time had a magnate inside of them already. And now these same people find MagSafe beloved.
His is this an upgrade?.
1st no Touch ID, after all this time.
Then Dynamic continent that blocks game scores.
Then 14pro that oversharpens photos.
Now, a button that is not a button as will be a headache to activate (keep it “pressed” for 1.5 seconds to change on/off but no way to know by touching it if it enabled or not).
Candidate to the most useless “innovation” of the year.
How about real battery innovation?, or removing the continent?, or a better keyboard/editing way?.
No wonder Apple cryed to dad government to ban innovator companies like that Chi se company that everyone is afraid.

Nope. Not even hinting at that.
In fact, I doubt there has EVER been a flawless and totally bug free release of major OS software.
My comment was a reaction to your comment that "the software running these things are falling apart".
So again... is it really "falling apart" for you?
Note: my comment is not a defense of Apple. There are plenty of things they could be doing better. But I also software is freaking hard and only getting harder with newer technologies and interfaces.
But their software - in my experience and those that I know - is definitely not falling apart. In fact, I'd say it's at a pretty high level, some notable exceptions excluded.
You know what doesn’t need a software solution that is prone to failure to adjust sensitivity for gloves?
A button. A button does that.
A button. A button does that.
There’s a difference between “willingly adjusting”, and “forced to accept it because there is no other option”.
I think this is going to be fine. If it works with gloves and through cases, and it’s as reliable as physical buttons are, then everything should be fine. It’s gonna be fine, right??
Well, when it seems like a rudderless ship these days, you gotta call a spade a spade.
Why you think people should have non-stop software issue to be eligible to complain?
Don’t worry I’m sure it’s going to work so well it will work in your pocket or just all on its own. Almost as helpful as the screen shots I take all the time because of the placement of the power and volume buttons. I do wonder if gloves will be an issue or if that’s considered holding it wrong.
Pretty sure it was sarcasm from a previous post that said they were working on a chip that would allow solid state buttons to work when the battery was dead. 😝
Holy smokes people are so black and white.
Of course you can complain and expect better.
But this statement "the software running these things are falling apart" is like saying the house is burning and the walls are collapsing, which clearly isn't true... and if you make it, is it not reasonable to ask "is it really THAT bad for you?"
Do you think it has to be totally rubbish or totally perfect?
Is there nothing in between?
I’ll give it a chance but I’m not buying it day one. I’m going to wait to see if people have issues with accidentally activating the buttons in a pocket, etc.
I can't answer why you get that feeling.
I have experienced a mechanical button failing on a previous iPhone of mine, though.
I'm beginning to see this phrase being used word for word by multiple haters. Can't you come up with new original hateful statements?
