Say Goodbye To The Home Key
Apple is looking to make the iPhone 7 stand out when it arrives in
September, and it looks like one more thing is being taken away. The
removal of the 3.5mm stereo jack is already controversial, but the
replacement of the physical home key with a capacitive surface has
caught Gordon Kelly’s investigative eye:
Following leaks in April, MobiPicker has published photos of what it
claims is a new iPhone 7 home button and it is the biggest redesign
since Touch ID. In short: it’s no longer a button.
Instead Apple has turned it into a touch sensitive surface. As MobiPicker explains:
“Our source tells us that this button is perfectly in level with the
rest of the bezel and cannot be pressed in. The button is
touch-sensitive and users will have to perform tapping actions for
various functions, like tap and hold for Siri, double tap to see the
running apps, etc.”
