The restart/SOS interface also allows you to access Medical ID, which apparently isn't set up on your demo phone
New gesture: double or triple finger down to return to top of page: docs, browser windows ...
I'm glad you mentioned the one-handed thing in the video, because it doesn't look like it would be easy to do. Certainly not as intuitive as the home button, but learnable after a few days of practice, I suppose.
This video is proof of what I have experienced. I’m on my iPhone X for two days now. I have to say Apple has done it again! Apple has evolved their user-interface, by removing the home button/Touch ID (always an extra step), replacing it with a fun, easy to use, fluid, card-deck like, gesture interface. Its been extremely easy to learn, and intuitive to use. It will become instantly familiar to 900 million and growing iOS users. Face ID will disappear to the user, providing very secure user-authentication, and eliminating an extra step, while Not slowing you down or getting in the way. ...ALL future mobile devices will incorporate Face ID, as they copy and catch up. Face ID is learning my face and face gestures, by forcing me to enter my passcode to affirm my face, when sideways, contorted, grimaced, strained, etc., but still my face. As the neural engine learns, its asking me less and less, as it Knows my face, more and more ….pretty cool. In just a a version or two, in less than a couple years, everyone will look back at Touch ID as dated, transitional, authentication technology. and A Dedicated Home Button, as juvenile UI. Kudos Apple !
