I’m with you, Donna. I’m keeping my 7+, even though the size of the X does appeal to me. I don’t need Face ID. If anything, next year, I will probably buy an 8+ if I buy anything. That should give me a few more years with my home button which I like. And my touch ID which I also like. I know it

Hey, Simon, The size wouldn't bother me, as I've never had a Plus phone. So you really don't miss the home button? I like the fact that with it being tactile, I can press it without thinking about where I am on the screen, etc. Is the gesture that replaces it easy to invoke? Cheers, Donna >

Hi Mary, Yep, I hear you. I feel like a lot of the changes Apple has been making lately are due to a perceived coolness factor, rather than to actual improvements in the user experience. I would say that about the removal of the home button, and also the move to a touch bar on the MBPs. The t
