Apple iPhone 7 may have a capacitive Home key

15 June, 2016
It will presumably use an ultrasonic fingerprint reader to continue its current duties.

Little did they know how controversial of a move this was going to be

        AnonD-1825, 16 Jun 2016I dont even understand why i need to prove something so obv... moreYour "lets say half" is very simple maths, yet throws complete doubt on what you are saying. According to you the SE is selling very well which was launched on the 31 March (even though you have no proof of that) and there are also the 6S plus, 6 and plus models for sale something is not looking good as Apples sales fell 16% year on year and are forecast to continue falling. The FACT us iPhone growth is falling and dramatically.

        “On Apple’s 1Q16 earnings conference call, Cook said that he did not think iPhone unit sales would decline more than 15% in 2Q16 (in reality sales fell 16%),” he writes. “Cook then said that iPhone declines would trough in 2Q16 with better results during the back half of FY2016 given an easier sales comparison to prior year results. Apple’s weak 3Q16 guidance proved that comment to be grossly optimistic. These types of miscalculations are not common for Apple and demonstrate that management has been unable to completely grasp the full extent of slowing iPhone demand. “

        The iPhone 7 is not looking exciting at all even for iPhone users, when the 6 series are already way behind Android phones so your "spin" is totally misleading.

        With Samsung also having the S7 Edge and Note and A series as well as the Active and other variants things are looking OK for Samsung. With other Android OEMS booming and slaughtering iPhones in China (Apples 2nd biggest market and the area it was expecting the most growth from) and Asia the immediate year is not looking good for the iPhone.

        The only hope for the iPhone is the 10th anniversary version which is a long way off and with Android phones sprinting away at a fast pace, that phone has got to be a real killer if the iPhone is even to stay in the wake of Android phones.

            Apple should seriously consider decreasing bezel sizes if they were to remove their home button.

              Obviously.. But it still outselling S7 which demand already fading fast. First twenty days S7 sold 10 million, after that in next three month they only sold 15 million. Thats 25 million in 4 month. If you go back in good times for samsung, they sold whopping 40 million S4 in three first months, so you see samsung is way behind of their best days. 5 million (still going down every month) in month sales arent enough to beat 6s sales.

                Linas, 16 Jun 2016Good luck proving that, while your sources are your dreams... I dont even understand why i need to prove something so obvious :)

                What about single math and common sense? :)

                Year ago q3 Apple sold 47 million, so lets say Apple sold 40 million this q and lets say half of those were 6s. Divide that 3. It means 6.6 million 6s per month.

                There was just news that s7 selling 5 million in per month for last three months. So how thats actually 4-5 times more than 6.6 million? :D

                          Apple is just a brand , its not the device that 's pricey its the brand there are a lot of phones which could surpass apple's capabilities which apple users haven't tried since they are loyal to their apple but they did not know that there apple is getting rotten. it is losing revenue year by year due to phone's inability to adapt the fast growing world of phones and those people who use apple are just simply foolish unable to adapt same as their beloved apple, in a gibberish explanation apple users are still monkey mushing up their apple yet they failed notice that there are a lot of delicious BANANA around the them.

I am not saying there are no worse phones that iphones overall... but the closest phone to iphone 6s by all measurable qualities on my desk is Samsung A5 (not 2016 edition, but the original one).. Same sub-flagship quality built, camera, processor and in many cases even better phone.. still have sd card, better battery life..

                                      and yes I am running latest software.. it is android 6.0.1..
