Here we are in a post-headphone jack world. I don’t know about you, but I expected thing to feel different, like that part in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy sees color for the first time. But there you have it. These things take time. And we’ll see whether other companies follow suit – though the company certainly has a pretty strong track record for ushering out other technologies.
That shift is really the key aesthetic differentiator here – the kind you have to turn the phone around to see. The other thing that immediately sets the handset apart from its predecessor at first glance is the new “Jet Black” finish – a sort of piano gloss that’s every bit as shiny in-person as the company led us to believe from the Bill Graham Civic Center stage earlier today.
It’s pretty nice, actually, managing the so-rare feat of looking classy whilst reflecting everything in sight – and yes, it’s every bit the fingerprint magnet you’re currently imagining. Personally, I’d opted for the decidedly less creatively-named “black,” which is a matte finish from which no light can possibly escape, and honestly, it might be my favorite look the iPhone has sported thus far.
The first thing you’ll likely do when you get your hands on the new phone is fiddle around with the new home button. It’ll take some getting used to. It’s not a bad sensation, but it’s certainly different. And getting haptic feedback courtesy of the Taptic Engine with a press is decidedly less satisfying that press an honest-to-goodness physical button. And unlike the trackpad, the technology hasn’t approximated the feel of the real thing.
