After using the iPhone X for almost half a year, I'm still longing for the home button with touch ID. Although the touch ID home button on other iPhone models isn't flawless in the sense that a wet finger will not play well with the touch ID recognition, it still offers the great advantage of unlocking the phone by just lifting your finger as opposed to having to position your head almost directly over the iPhone X front camera (Face ID); especially in situation when your phone is affixed, mounted to a holder, or simply just lying on a table. Not to deny the fact that doing away with the home button frees up a tremendous amount of screen real estate, I'm just not quite ready to trade that off with the tactile feel of a button and a click to return to home screen. Call me old school if you want but I'll choose a good old volume knob over a touchscreen control on a stereo any time of the day...
