The iPhone X Home Indicator Color

I thought this was such a great read. Nathan Gitter (@nathangitter on Twitter), a fellow Texan, designer and engineer wrote a deep-dive into the what and behind the new iPhone X home indicator color. Chock-full of charts, observations and experiments — Nathan really went the extra mile.

I especially enjoyed the hidden SpringBoard debug menu he discovered in his investigation. Which begs the question, should we start calling the home indicator the “grabber” now? I mean, I’m all for it. Check out Nathan’s findings below:
