FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.?
In this particular reference is has to do with starting rumors about NameDrop, when the author clearly doesn’t know what they are talking about and haven’t researched it, but insist on spreading Fear.?

Re: IPhone won't switch on.
Haptics is feed back or acknowledgement from the device, not input to the device.?
It is like a keyboard with the two little nibs on the home position.?

Re: IPhone won't switch on.
Haptic means there is a physical response, like a short vibration or what feels like the phone is tapping back. Sometimes there is an audio response.?
This is why I said find one you can try out.?

Re: IPhone won't switch on.
So, do you have a friend, that might meet up with and bring their iPhone for you to try and practice with??
I hear a lot of resistance to change, fear and doubt.
I understand needing to have features to make it easy to use, but whether it has a home button is just a delaying argument, nothing more. After a few weeks, muscle memory takes over.?
I only gave up my working iPhone 4S, because they were shutting down the 3G networks. Pretty much like using a vacuum tube analog TV, until the day they stopped broadcasting an analog signal.?
