Personally I hate touch buttons. Physical buttons are far far better.
Even car makers who had used touch buttons on their infotainment
devices and steering wheels controls have realised they're crap and are
moving back to physical ones instead.
If Apple does it then it will be the best thing since sliced bread and will be defended to the death in this group.

I personally prefer physical buttons for some purposes. The iPhone
14 and earlier mute switch is something I can actuate in which way I
wish even in the dark or in a pocket and can also, by touch, know
which position it is in. Very useful. Does this make me an "Arlen"?
Any opinion outside of the "approved" Apple one makes you a troll.

Conceptually, I agree, but I can't tell you the last time I actually
toggled the mute switch in my pocket - or toggled it all. It's generally something I set once and then forget about since I like my phones to be muted.
Does this make me an "Arlen"?
Nope, you just have a different opinion. Differing opinions aren't a
problem here. Trolling is. Can you distinguish between offering a
genuine opinion and trolling? It seems maybe you can't.
Join the iCult, and you'll have no problems here.
But beware of the anti-apple trolls. They are legion.

badgolferman trolls here regularly, so if you are taking his word for

I think Wilf is old enough to decide for himself who tells the truth, notwithstanding your indirect insult of him.

None of the herd animals will disparage anyone who toes the party line.
Yet the instant someone states a fact they don't like about Apple - they
turn into a herd of instant ignorant swine - snorting like Jolly Roger pigs and charging like Alan Browne childish ignorant bullies always do.
But beware of the anti-apple trolls. They are legion.
You do realize they're not anti Apple... they just state the facts.

I'm afraid if it's not the trolling that puts you off, but people who
object to it, that's not a problem anyone but you can solve.
That's it Wilf! You are about to be classified as a troll now! Jolly Roger gets to decide all this and you are now in thin ice.

In these days of pronouns, I prefer to be referred to as “he” or “him”. If
he doesn’t comply to my preferred pronouns I will report him to Tim Cook, who will then surely have his army of social warriors remove all emojis
