Apple iPhone X is one of the most revolutionary iPhones ever mostly because Apple removed lots of traditional iPhone design and philosophies, and replaced them with the latest technology available. The Touch ID is gone, and now we have Face ID, no bezels around the display and the best one is, there is no home button. The home button which Apple users are used to is now gone and replaced by gestures.
Apple reinvented the whole concept of navigating around the iOS; there is a little bar at the bottom which does everything now. It even does a better job than the previous physical home button. The bar lets users to switch between apps without going to the app switcher – just a swipe on the bar will do. But if you own more devices like iPad along with the iPhone X then switching between these two devices may become uncomfortable and even challenging.
