iPhone 11 iPhone x 11 12 more intuitive than iPhone 7 or 8?

Are the newer iPhones controls and navigation more intuitive, fluid, and comfortable to use than the older iPhones with the home button?

From my android experience the navigation bar is very intuitive and make navigation really effieicent, plus the back button is always there for you.

In my opinion, definitely.

Both do their job just fine. The home button stayed for as long as it did because it was executed really well, as is faceID based gestures, which I assume is here to stay.

Absolutely, good riddance to the home button, so much smoother and quicker using swipe gestures. 😃

Back button is overrated on android, no need for it, swipe from left or right side of the screen to go back or forward on iOS.

I never thought that the all screen gesture based navigation would be better than the Home button. Once I got my Ipad Air 3 though, where you could use gestures (even though it has a Home button), I found the gestures to be very intuitive, smooth and fluid. So continued to use the Air 3 in this way, and not use the Home button apart from resting finger on it for Touch ID. Since then, I got the 12 Mini and not looked back. I do think 3D Touch was really good though, I loved that feature on my 6s+ and 8+, but this has since been replaced with a haptic touch based version.

Same same. I just upgraded my work phone from an 8 to an SE2 and 3D touch is vastly superior. It just feels better.

That said, I have an 11 here that I could have taken over the SE but I prefer the smaller form factor when carrying two phones. The home button interface is still really efficient and I have no trouble switching between the SE2 and my personal 12 Pro.

I'm a home button holdout and I wasn't looking forward to the day where I have to give it up. Currently on an SE 2020. But in looking at a potential upgrade to a more upper-end iPhone, I've looked closely at Face ID (pun only half-intended) and I have grown more accepting. I don't think losing Touch ID will be the major loss I previously thought it would. I'll still miss it, though, I think. Until I no longer do.
