[Electronics-Talk] OT? help with new iPhone

Hi Drew, I hope you enjoy that shiny new iPhone.

I produced a guide when the iPhone X came out, which covers setting up and using Face ID, as well as the new gestures necessitated by the lack of a home button. Even though it's ancient now, I think it may help. You can read it here.<https://mosen.org/iphonex/>

Hope that helps.

Hi list,

Wasn't sure where to post this question, but would really appreciate some help. I just got a new iPhone 17, my first without a home button and wondering if there are some resources like utube videos or documentation to help me learn the new gestures or whatever to get used to not having the home button? I know I will ajust quickly. Thanks



Drew
