Do you prefer iphone with a physical home button or no home button?

[DizzyDesii]

Im still torn between the 8 and the XR. I want the 8 just cause its a repeat of my 7 and has a physical home button. But its nearly impossible to find the Product Red anymore for it so i kinda want the XR just for the color. What would you do? #FeelFreeToList #JustDreaming

Physical home button

No physical home button

Neither im a droid

[Kaytiee]

I just upgraded from an iPhone 5C With a button to an iPhone XS, I was going to go with an XR But it was out of stock, for saying I’ve never used a phone with no button before... within a day I had already gotten used to it. It feels like a much bigger more luxury phone. It’s so easy to use and the notions are so easy to and quick compared to a clunky button,

If you’re going for a budget buy off CEX I got mine for 750£ 256GB mint condition ( so you get the box and all the original acsessories) for the newest iPhone.

If you don’t have CeX or a store like that where you live and you’re on a budget go for the 8, if not and you want to spoil yourself you really should go for the XR It’s a beautiful looking phone and the red just pops!

[DizzyDesii]

Yea the 8 is more in my price range but i maybwait til black Friday sales for the xr

[mooky06]

A physical home button. I bought my mum the iphone XR for her birthday and i still have trouble opening it up when she tells me to do something for her on it 😂

Not use to it

[DizzyDesii]

Oh lord thats what i worry about

[mooky06]

i guess you’ll get use to it? But i just find it so weird lol

[Bismarck_96]

I love the home button I don't know about the XR probably all tabs stay open and no way of closing all tabs with out the home button I’ll probably buy 2-3phones with the home button before they’re abolished

[DizzyDesii]

Lmaoooo you sound like me

[Bismarck_96]

Kids from the 90’s has toys with buttons and we all love pressing buttons even if it’s a dangerous one

[Bismarck_96]

Had**

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao true

[Bismarck_96]

Danke Für das MHO

[Kaytiee]

Tabs don’t stay open.

[Rundown]

Wow. I, wow, I was just, wow, this is too surreal. You and I were looking at the EXACT same phones. I went with the XR. Just makes more sense at this point

[DizzyDesii]

Aww really 😍 what made it make more sense

[Rundown]

Well, you're likely to get a trade in value for it, in two years. You MIGHT get a trade in value on the 8 but, at that point, it's not even worth it, cause it'd be in the low 100's, I would highly recommend the xr

[Rundown]

Whatd you go with?

[DizzyDesii]

Not getting it this month. Im leaning towards XR but im trying to wait and see what rhe price drop is like for September since i have to outright buy the phone

[Rundown]

You can certainly finance it, which is what I'm doing. I didn't buy it outright. I'm paying 20 a month, plus 15 for insurance to pay it off, after putting 300 down

[DizzyDesii]

I can't handle another bill. I like to pay for stuff in full

[Rundown]

Ah, well, good luck. The 11 will likely be out by then. I just went with the XR cause the 4s, wasn't going to work after December but, I needed a new phone, and the 11 isn't necessary for me, neither is the xs max or xs

[CoffeeWC]

I like a physical home button. Makes it seem more accessible

[IroncladCat7599]

I have an Android, but it's up to you if you feel comfortable having your phone use facial recognition. But iPhones have it good by knowing that the phone will be in use and will turn on the screen when the phone is lifted. So, a home button is not needed anymore either. Therefore if you get a the new iPhone XR instead of the 8, you'll have the better chip, will be able to get cases from the store more easily than the 8 and the software will be up to date, while the 8 will probably lose its function after a while. So, I would say the XR over the 8 due to those reasons. And if you have the environment for an apple then it's perfect for you. (Like have an apple computer and iPad) If you don't, I say you try looking at Android because they are better I would say. At a non biased look, it was a total upgrade. The feel and how the software works is great. It's responsive, durable, and more open to a better camera than iPhone. I dropped my phone so many times and it hasn't shattered yet. Even from a shower ledge that is above 6ft, dropped to an all tile floor that was also wet😂. I have a LG V30 by the way. Not the main flagship of LG, but love it for the camera and looks. And usability of the Google assistant is prime vs Siri. Especially the apps that come with Google are better on Android. Guessing you may use Google maps and stuff, it has more features than you may think due to Google favoring Android (of course😂). And the software will always be optimized for your phone. Not destroying your battery over time. So, I'd say get the XR due to the software being more up to date than the 8 and will continue to be and it being faster with the new chipset or try looking at Android phones

[DizzyDesii]

Inhave an LG and an iphone 7. My LGs no home button pisses me off. I just like its stylus pen. But wow you always make great points

[IroncladCat7599]

Hahaha😂😂 I'm only saying what I feel and know. I actually am ok with LG having not home button I keep the bar at the bottom constantly on, so I have a home button😂

[BALLERINA297]

No home button because the second you drop it on a big rock the button gets stuck and doesn’t work Yes I did this already with previous one and my ipod touch not on purpose but No home button it’s really a matter of swiping from the bottom and your back to page 1 it’s not hard as I have a new iphone without a button.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow

[TripleAce]

At first i can understand why you feel that way. The home button is familiar to us

I felt the same until i got the iphone x
And trust. Its way better with the swipe! No joke lol. Trust me. Within a day you’ll understand. Its fast, smoother, more natural. I wish i could have the swipe on all my older iphones now!

[DizzyDesii]

But i have a droid too and i can't stand not having a home button lol

[TripleAce]

Ya but Apple always does it right
They did it so right that androids copied apple with the swipe
Its on samsung pixel and other phones now too 😛

You have to have it to understand lol

[DizzyDesii]

I like the look of the pixel and feel like im torn between it and xr and 8

[TripleAce]

Ya i get it
Just get the 8 then

[MissDyno]

I used to think I could not have a phone without the button bc I was so used to having something to press. But after getting the iPhone XR, you get so used to having no button really quick! It’s so much easier just to swipe up to get to the home screen or a different app.

[holograph]

Right now I have a Galaxy S9 but my first smartphones were the HTC Mogul (Windows Mobile) and Motorola Droid (the first one). Every single physical key they've removed, I'm still upset about. I resent the loss of the physical keyboard, because now I have this stupid virtual keyboard that takes up 3/4 of my damn screen. Oh yeah that's sooooo convenient.

If I had an iPhone I would want as many physical buttons as I could get, just as I DO want that with my Android phone.

[SjE78]

I can't stand iPhone's or any Apple product well with the exception of a granny smith that is... iPhone's are over priced Androids with far more restrictions

gimme a droid anyday tbh

my current phone is the Samsung A70 since there was no LG options available when i was due an upgrade i went with the one which i felt suited my needs more and i must say next to LG this A70 is the best choice for what was on offer

[naijagurl]

I still have an iPhone 7 and have been an Apple user for a while so I haven’t had much experience with no home button. I think I’d prefer the physical home button though.

[DizzyDesii]

I love my iphone 7 so i like that 8 is its red twin haha

[Dinoraptor101]

Only upgrade when a phone has a evolutionary functional change, both of these phones have nothing new, a shape and specs refresh doesn't count, wait and buy foldable or wearable or AR phone next :)

[Lauren-green]

No physical home button because there is no chance of you breaking the button. I remember on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, the button stopped working.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea that always crosses my mind but i wouldn't know cause i didn't start with iphone until 5c came out

[zoeadams3]

I have an iPhone 8 with the home button. I just upgraded from a 5s after 5 years. Battery was worn out, then I shattered the screen.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang

[zoeadams3]

I didn’t go with the iPhone X.

[SentientBrick]

I prefer not to own one of those plastic trash bricks.

[DizzyDesii]

I have a droid too 🤷‍♀️ And its no better

[Mautito]

I changed from iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone X. Both have their pro’s and con’s, you’ll definitely love the simplicity of the Face ID!. It takes some time to get used to not having a home button, it’s worth it though.

[DizzyDesii]

I never use 3d touch nor touch id nor facetime nor faceid

[0112358]

I have an X.

I expected to miss Touch ID and the home button.

I don’t. At all. Face ID is more reliable than touch.

Go with XR.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont use face id nor touch id nor 3d lmao

[0112358]

3D haven’t noticed at all.

Anyway you won’t miss the home button. More screen is better.

[DizzyDesii]

Thanks

[LIM1T]

I used to have an iPhone 6 and it was okay, but once I switched to android with no home button it felt so much better. Tried using my mum's iPhone with a home button recently, and it felt so weird and unnatural

[Hans222]

I dislike my I-phone. Have one for work but I like my private phone much more.
That's a Huawei, much more user friendly and excellent camera.

[SarahsSummer]

I've gotten used to the no home on my iphone X but I liked the fingerprint security on the home button better than the facial recognition on the X

[Mar727]

That’s weird I have the product red 8 and it was pretty easy to find. I got mine at Best Buy

[DizzyDesii]

My carrier only has space gray. Best buy doesn't work with them

[Mar727]

You should be able to buy it still though without the SIM card and then transfer your carriers SIM card into the phone you buy

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow didn't know

[Adam1978]

Everytime I have to use a Ios device I struggle with its limited interface. I prefer android

[DizzyDesii]

I struggle with the droid and its no home button

[Adam1978]

It has a home button in all version, it's just a round circle instead of a house in newer and in some new you might need to drag it up from hidden state much like the latest ios.

[DizzyDesii]

Ohhhh makes sense. But what happens if the screen cracks on that section?

[Adam1978]

That's another reason to buy android much bigger selections of device some which won't break that easily. And cheaper to repair/replace if they do. But in most cases a cracked screen work fine with touch its the display that might get graphical artefacts if the display is really damaged.

[Bluebot]

I dont miss the home button at all anymore, you get used to the gesture control quite fast.

[AmandaYVR]

I always prefer a tactile, physical button whenever possible.

[anon1116]

I am an android user. I never liked using iPhones, I don't like the operating system.

[OlderAndWiser]

Long time Droid user here, and never had an iPhone, so I have no opinion.

[Anpu23]

I'm not an Apple fan, but I prefer the no home button.

[DizzyDesii]

I hate my android no home button bothers me

[Anpu23]

I program and Apple won't let me put my own apps on my damned phone. And iPhone repair is much easier without the home button.

[Likes2drive]

I’ve had all types of iPhones and I miss the home button and headphone jack but I guess they needed to make it water resistant so I ended with the XS and have had it awhile so you get used to it

[Titanic1912]

I didn’t vote but how are you supposed to get to your home screen without a home button?

[DizzyDesii]

Physical vs nonphysical

[Titanic1912]

But how. If you have no home button, how can you reach it? What do you mean physical vs. nonphysical?

[DizzyDesii]

Iphones new phones put the home button as a digital screen instead of a physical button u can push in

[Jackson8650]

The thing I miss most about my 7 is the screen not flipping all the way over when upside down on the charger in the cup holder!!!

[DizzyDesii]

Wait whaaaa

[Jackson8650]

It doesn’t flip all the way over!!! Ugh!

[DizzyDesii]

I dont get the flip

[Jackson8650]

You can’t rotate it so the bottom is up and have the screen orientate correctly.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i get it

[Jackson8650]

I’m over here doing headstands to look at my phone!!! LOL

[SassyAzz05]

I have a IPhone XR and it was a little frustrating to use my phone without it. Now I’ve gotten used to it

[DizzyDesii]

Ok maybe ill get used to it

[zagor]

I still have an iPhone 5 because of the stupid changes to the interface.

[DizzyDesii]

Nothing wrong with that

[John_Doesnt]

I don't always use iPhone, but when I do I trade it in for an Android.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Android with physical home button. Feels more responsive to me. I hate accidentally touching the touchscreen home button when typing sometimes.

[theFantasticJayy]

The days of the big bezless and physical home buttons are OVER. embrace the future of swipe guesters

[DizzyDesii]

I dont like tech these days

[theFantasticJayy]

Why?

[bklynbadboy1]

I'm definitely an android man il put my Galaxy S10 plus up against any iPhone I guarentee it will out perform it

[legalboxers]

Im use to the physical button, will be weird when I get the X

[DizzyDesii]

exactly haha

[ChiPaPa]

I've never used an iPhone. I have no knowledge of what you're talking about. Sorry.

[Smegskull]

Not used either. I went from simbian to windows phone to Linux mobile.

[DizzyDesii]

I heard linux is great

[Smegskull]

It really is/was they sort of just stopped the project a few years ago though so it's starting to feel a bit dated.

[Smegskull]

I like to keep my laptop and phone as cross compatible as possible so next phone update I will probably be moving from Ubuntu to Pure.

[TheDarkAngel21]

iPhone home button is better then iPhones with no home button

[Bigfoot324]

I prefer not paying over a hundred dollars for replacement parts lol

[DizzyDesii]

Loll

[Jjpayne]

I like a home button and prefer it

[Pink2000]

I have the 8 plus but I want the xr

[DizzyDesii]

Oooh please tell me why to help me decide

[Pink2000]

I’m just tired of this phone I need an upgrade. I like the 8 plus. There’s nothing I don’t like about it.

[CHARismatic110]

I don't prefer iphone at all.

[lovedejj_xo]

I like the home button

[DizzyDesii]

Same

[devil_8888]

No physical button!!! I have XS and I love it

[DizzyDesii]

Whats the diff in the xs and xr? Just color?

[OrangeBoy2]

No iPhone, but a galaxy with physical button.

[bangyourhead]

No home button. I have the X and love it

[llorando]

I prefer neither, bot equally sucks.

[Glen68]

I'm addicted to having the newest version

[DizzyDesii]

Not me

[yeahguy2]

Mines a hidden home button.

[james_mark]

I want something to press on smh lol

[God-vs-Satan]

With a physical home button.

[Razal]

No home butting is better.

I have used both.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol ok

[Razal]

typo -- Button ***
That was hilarious

[Razal]

Just in case my reply is confusing, i voted for Option B.

[ShadowedSoul]

With a physical circle

[DizzyDesii]

I agree

[ShadowedSoul]

Much much better

[Angelina25]

Android person here

[EriFrancis1994]

[blondfrog]

Neither im a droid

[berna01]

[DizzyDesii]
