Gesture control is not all nice, they need to think it carefully.

1. Too much, will conflict with existing apps control. Ending up with mistake clicks and tabs.
2. Too complex will need multiple hand to trigger a basic feature. Then its no longer a one handed phone. (and might conflict with double tap home for reachability feature)
3. Gesture is like shortcuts, that need to be learned. If not intuitive enough, it will anger / confuse simple people.

Apple used to laugh at Android for their old 3 button software keys.. They better not repeat that same mistake.

But given Apple's track records (Copy Pencil, copy notification, copy bezels, copy remove home button), i can see it coming in the future.

I've been doing this for years on Android. Think I'll sue Apple for copying.

Will admit though, as ugly as this phone looks (not surprising given their history), at least they have the right idea of shrinking the bezels. That nasty looking cutout at the top though...

This gestiure control is really a smart move by Apple. I can't wait to see the iPhone 8 rocking iOS 11.

Now that's innovation.

Only took them 10 years to change it.

Haha

Everybody adores Apple even if they are just inovaters. Lets see them be the first at something for once instead of taking all the glory for something someone else came up with first. Oh wait they did, Apple maps. They ditched Google maps for there own version, oh wait they were copying that too.

Creating Concepts is not easy, nature and decade old habits don't go away easily! Swipe half and beyond is complicated, as it's availability is doubtful, producing restrains, it's might be sold available in black market. War of everyone getting one, is compromised. Apple you have started a new complicated rat race of acquiring one!

This is a very smart move by Apple if true. I've always felt that swiping and gestures are the future having seen the Nokia N9 in action . Some apps already have a sliding left menu so it's not like users are totally unused to it. Why not make it the usual universal gesture for the most common functions and rid of screen wasting buttons altogether I say... Android should do same too. Imo.
