Another version of touch bar. I doubt who will use it.

This is just one more thing nobody understands. Everything has become way too complicated.

Absolutely useless feature. It offers nothing that the big screen interface already offers. The tiny cutout to scroll through items is just laughable.

It will go the way of Touch Bar and 3D Touch.

I’m more concerned about accidental touches in that area of the phone. I tend to grip that area since I don’t use a case.

Not one of the reviewers mentioned the camera button might be a little more difficult to get used to for left handed users.
