 Regarding accessibility on iPhone X. I believe accessibility would not be needed if apps started being aware that they should have their key buttons for UI to be in the lower portions of the screen.  This includes Apple insider's app as well. Traditionally top left top right back buttons have been acceptable in a different form factors of computing. But now that we're in the world of mobile computing, developers need to have more of an awareness in that reality.

Had to bail out of the podcast at the 37th whine about the red dot. Yep. Got it: you disapprove. Save the heartbroken indignant rage for war crimes and world hunger. The red dot ain't either of those. And the investment of passion in the "disgust" comes across as a measure of immaturity. It doesn't even rise to a first-world problem. Honestly!

The podcast isn't typically about global issues, but Apple products. In that context, the red dot stands out, because it's absolutely horrific design.

If you care about war crimes and world hunger, start paying attention to US Congress and boot about 90% of them out. (cf. Congressional Dish podcast)

My best guess on the red dot... (and what it says about today's Apple)... is just look at the clothing the average person wears compared to the fashion runway. It represents Apple's transition from design to fashion, IMO.
