I still have an iPhone 8 Plus and will never buy another iPhone because it doesn’t have a home button, you can’t play some games now because the phone thinks your trying to exit the game instead of swiping at an enemy, same goes for the notification bar, at least I only have to worry about one of those issues on the iPhone 8 Plus instead of both of them, I tried playing around with a ten at the stores that have them on display and they suck, buttons are the way to go, this screen on this 8 plus is just as big anyways, don’t need a screen the same size as the phone, I can have some non-screen real-estate for physical buttons thank you very much. Anyways back to this under the screen home button, I hope it will still work the same way as the home button on the iPhone 7 and 8 and that you can put more pressure on it to exit out of apps that way playing games won’t mess with exiting out for no reason.
Heck, a LOT of Americans and Europeans would snap them up for a comparable price (ie under $1,000 USD). Most don’t mind paying extra for the premiere models, they won’t when EVERY product commands a Premiere price.
Sadly, despite their tumbling sales, Apple hasn’t learned that simple lesson yet. Offer a fancy new model that only a few can afford, then keep the rest moderately affordable.
