How will you even access the app switcher? At first, you worried about the lack of Touch ID, but Apple assured you that Face ID is an adequate alternative. You imagined watching videos and enjoying HD content on its gorgeous OLED or Liquid Retina screen. So you saw the new iPhones with their bezel-less designs and fell in love.
