Not true.

Just kind of stupid if you do this like 30x a day and 28x out of those you got a negative response."Hey Siri. Did I miss any calls?"

Do you walk away from your phone for 30 minutes at a time 30 times a day? If that's the case, why do you even have a smartphone?
At most, you ask Siri 2x a day, because otherwise you would have your phone with you.
Even if the phone is with you all day..but the unsettling feelings that you may have missed something will inadvertently makes you want to turn the screen on or ask siri.At home I have a Panasonic wireless Bluetooth phone system. My phone is paired with it as soon as I walk in. Other times I always have my phone on me.

LED gives you a definitive confirmation whether you have notification or not. Anyone arguing against the usefulness of LED are either too blinded to see or too thick headed to concede.

It's pointless trying to convince people here that the iPhone could be made better somehow. They will argue ad nauseam about how some useful feature is not needed. Then, if / when Apple adds said feature, they will praise it and say Apple did it right. Rinse, repeat. All you have to do is look at NFC as the latest example.
Here's another question I have. What does this LED show you?
Does it flash for Facebook updates? New RSS feed additions? UPS tracking info updates? Instant Messages in 3rd party apps that aren't texts?
Like, can you set the thing to work with any app, or is it just texts and phone calls?
I'm just trying to figure out how this thing works.
Who is saying it is mandatory to have? You won't die without it. If you are satisfied with turning on the screen (or ask siri) many times a day so be it.Talk about blinded or thick headed. You keep missing the point as is the case in every one of these threads. A notification light is not a must have feature for me (and I guess some others). What you find mandatory, others find optional.
If I need to see something I'll pick up my phone, no biggie.
Would be nice to see the Touch ID ring light up.

But if someone says the LED is not useful or its function can be replicated by other means then my previous assessment would stand.
I have a feeling if Apple introduced a notification LED they would be accused of following the competition and being late to the table. Just look at the reaction when they made bigger screens. It was demanded for a couple of years and when they produced them they were heavily criticised. I don't get it at all.

You said it. LED lets you know so you don't have to aimlessly turn on the screen or ask siri.An LED just lets you know that a notification is definitely there. You still need to touch your phone to find out what it is or if it is a false alarm.

The iPhone does have a useful notification system that includes an LED, if desired.
I just went to the extreme and set it to ping me 10 times until I respond. It vibrates and Quacks like a duck for 5 seconds every few minutes for a total of ten times until I open or acknowledge the text message... It’s doing it right now but I'm too busy typing this to acknowledge the message... and my wife is looking at me like something fishy is going on... she is wishing that an LED was blinking and the ringer was muted instead. Bummer.Oh well
All your methods are just notification at a point in time. None are persistent until you act on the notifications.i think an led notification light is useful and whose function can be replicated by custom vibrating tones. The act of notification is mandatory, method of delivery can be debated.
Beware, as some Apple users will not take kindly to you pointing out this or any short coming. They think that what even Apple gives you is good enough and it is near blasphemy to criticize or want more.
Maybe it's because Apple started these accusations of copying with the lawsuits regarding rounded corners on icons and phones, rubber bounce scrolling, etc.
When you make a big deal about other people copying you, don't be surprised when others call you out when you copy them.
people here can act as high and mighty about NOT wanting a notification light as they want.
but the second Apple announces it, it will be "MUST HAVE" and "HOW DID I EVER LIVE WITHOUT IT".
Happens all the time, just think back when people saying phatphones are a fad
It is just the classic denial syndrome brought about by the deficiencies in iphone.people here can act as high and mighty about NOT wanting a notification light as they want.
