"I use two phones everyday for work reasons - iPhone X and iPhone 5S. I'm already trying to swipe up on iPhone 5S to open it. I agree with Juan Cano that the iPhones with the button feel archaic in such a short time. The notch really is not a problem. The extra screen space at the top and bottom more than make up for the minor aesthetic inconvenience, and having the phone unlock just by looking at it truly feels like magic. In the car I just tap the phone, look at it and then ask Siri to launch an app - no fumbling to get my finger onto the button. It unlocks in the dark, in sunlight, with sunglasses on - it just works. Swiping and gesturing do everything else, without having to actually click a home button. The previous action was a bit incongruous due to the light swipes and hard clicks on the button when just navigating. This is fair more fluid. The fragility is nothing new for people who had iPhone 4, but yes it could be better. As for price, this is a non-issue if you use the device as intended - a powerful pocket computer with many hours of use each day for almost all aspects of life. "
