      after FBI opened Apple mobile phone , Apple started thinking to use their mobiles without password. Apple should help their country instead of helping Terrorism. Finally Nation is more important then company profits.

Which means you don't have a home button. So if you're using an app outside with gloves made for touch screens on, you have no way to exit the app to open another one.

Why you insist to use gloves for touch home button or touch screen? Are you afraid of virus? iPhone has no virus. Android, Microsoft has, that's why they use gloves to avoid virus infection. Put that in mind.

                        Srb, 17 Sep 2016This is not a negative and with capacitive gloves it will workwhy buy special gloves for your phone? why buy special adapters just to get a headphone jack to work. ease of use is completely absent in apple products.
                        other phones have glove mode, there are other phones where touch screen can be used with normal gloves.

                            No headphone jack, no glove mode, no sapphire camera lens, no sd card slots, no full waterproofing. Seriously! Its 2016 guys and still you are compromising on so many things for a 700k$ worth of crap. It seems like a bad deal to me....I mean look at its price!
