Apple branded gloves accessory to be launched soon to handle this issue. Or Apple will say you are not pressing/touching the button right.

Sapphire glass and now this. They should probably rename the 'iPhone7' to 'lie-phone7'..atleast it will suit the product description..

    Anonymous, 17 Sep 2016Glove gate.This is pressure sensitivity man. You press harder the phone recognizes it. Of course you cannot unlock the phone while gloves on because it needs your finger print. But you have the other option to unlock your phone, the password. So I guess it really need a little effort to do it. I haven't find any wrong about the touch ID.

      This is not a negative and with capacitive gloves it will work

        In all honesty most home buttons don't work with gloves on unless you buy special gloves for Tech use,Not glove gate more no change to the usual when using normal gloves with smartphones :-)

          And yeah now I can say IRIS SCANNER is more reliable than fingerprint scanner on iPhone 7 :-)
