Getting Used to Apple\u2019s Big Feature Changes<\/h2>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

As usual, the most recently unveiled product from Apple has been making big waves across the tech community. The iPhone X is filled with dynamic new features<\/a> that Apple lovers have been celebrating widely. However, also making news is the annoying feature changes that iPhone X users are trying to get used to. The changes mark a departure from previous Apple<\/a> designs and are leaving some users scratching their heads.<\/p>\n

Huge Change #1: What Happened to the Home Button? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first big change with the iPhone<\/a> X is that Apple decided to completely remove the familiar home button. Though the iPhone X has a huge, edge-to-edge screen, it\u2019s the very first iPhone model to have the home button missing. The home button has traditionally been the central control for the iPhone<\/a>, serving as the main form of navigation from between apps and as the main line of communicating with Siri. So, many are probably wondering \u2013 how do you navigate an iPhone without a home button?<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s answer to removing the trusted home button was to create new navigation gestures. However, many users are criticizing the approach, claiming it adds needless complexity to something that was once intuitive. In fact, some have found the navigation gestures so complicated, they\u2019ve sought outside help. Recently, tech experts have been creating \u2018how-to\u2019 manuals for navigating the unfamiliar iPhone X<\/a> features and posting them online.<\/p>\n

So, instead of relying on the long-familiar home button, users now have to learn a variety of thumb waves and swipes to navigate the iPhone X interface. Even for the most seasoned smartphone users, mastering these new swipe navigations is annoying to remember and difficult to execute with one hand.<\/p>\n

Huge Change #2: Bizarre Screen Frame Design Voted Unattractive by Users <\/strong><\/p>\n

Another annoying change Apple made with the iPhone X was the decision to change the long-established screen frame design. On previous Apple models, the top of iPhone surface had a straight-edged strip across the top to mark the shape of the home screen. A similar tab stretched across the bottom and this framed the iPhone screen in a perfect rectangle. This outer frame of the phone is often referred to as the phone\u2019s bezel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the iPhone X, however, Apple decided not<\/em> to run the bezel all the way across the top of the screen, opting instead, for a notch that sits in the middle<\/a>, leaving two spaces on either side. While the screen frame change doesn\u2019t impact functionality, users agree that the design choice seems bizarre and renders the screen frameless attractive than previous designs.<\/p>\n

Insider Fixes: Tips & Tricks for Optimizing the Most Annoying Features on the iPhone X<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thankfully, for frustrated iPhone X users, a variety of innovative and eagle-eyed tech experts have figured out workarounds for both of these frustrating design flaws. Some of the solutions come from the Apple camp itself, however, others are relying on third-party apps to fix the impractical and unattractive design issues. Let\u2019s check out the existing solutions for each below:<\/p>\n
