Like when I swipe from right to left. An app can have it’s own meaning for this gesture. The phone itself, two more, one to switch home screens, one to pull up the camera. I’ll be trying to use the app’s meaning and get the camera. This is not improving my efficiency.

I’m seeing the behavior consistently, regardless of app. It’s just wrong.

I pine for those buttons.

The pinch to zoom and scrolling features generally work fine. I did explore the accessibility features and found nothing that addresses my need for easy predictability.

The reason I like the buttons is because I know what they do. And they do it every time.

The reason I hate the gestures is that I’ll think I’m doing one thing and get something completely different, often when I needed it to do the right thing five seconds ago.

Clearly, you haven’t played with an Android lately. As @OhStopYellingAtMe pointed out, everybody’s imitating Apple.

No, this is a 14. I never heard of “3D Touch” but it sounds like it would be completely unusable for me.
