For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    I can fully admit that I don’t think the home button was that useful compared to the software equivalents.

    The other two, yeah I fully agree.

        Not trying to be snarky here, but what are you trying to do with your phone without opening your eyes? I sometimes snooze my morning alarm with the power button on the side without looking at it, but what did the home button do for you when you weren’t looking at the screen?

          I can activate Google Assistant and ask it to tell me the time.

          (No, I don’t like Google Assistant to constantly listen for a wake-up word. I had two previous bad experiences with that.)
