The iPhone X was one of the most defining models in Apple’s smartphone history. It brought several important changes. The notch and the arrival of Face ID. And the abandonment of the Home button and Touch ID with a fingerprint reader. It’s a change that was discussed at the time and that some older Apple smartphone users still regret.
For example, this is the case of Chris Evans, nicknamed Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor, who is currently promoting his latest film, The Gray Man, gave an interview to Collider, the online magazine dedicated to 7.to Art. Part of this interview was posted on the magazine’s official YouTube channel. You can find this document at the end of this article. He clearly states in this interview nostalgia for the old iPhone 6s. And their regret for newer iPhones.
Chris Evans prefers iPhones with Home button and Touch ID
What exactly do you regret? First he regrets Home button disappearing. A button that he describes as very practical. Then he thinks Touch ID is a more suitable biometric sensor than Face ID. Whether the phone is flat, sideways, or upright, iPhone unlocks more smoothly as long as the thumb touches the button. This is not the case with Face ID, which requires the iPhone to be able to “see” the user.
Finally, Chris Evans believes that iPhones have become too heavy, too bulky, and less easy to use. It compares its current iPhone with its older models. And it’s true that the iPhone 13 Pro Max, for example, is the heaviest iPhone in Apple history: 240 grams (versus 228 grams for its predecessor).
In this small part of the interview, the actor also reminds us of the thorny issue of product aging: I want an iPhone like the previous ones, it keeps working until I stop working “. Remember that such an iPhone exists: the iPhone SE 5G, which combines cutting-edge technologies with a retro design.
