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.

they need to pay salary for their employees, rent building, overhead such as electricity, water, etc., advertisement cost. not just building the phone. rethink!

    bus1, 15 Jun 2016You keep saying same thing over and over again on gsmarena ... moreThere are many people in the world who can easily afford Apple devices, but simply avoid them due to many limitations. I currently use an iPhone that was gifted to me, but I personally and strongly prefer Android and Nexus.

      Tim Kuk, 15 Jun 2016Trust me... You want the boring iphone.trust me, I don't. Inferior handsets and far too expensive

                I don't want samsung to copy the force touch feature of the iphone. I think force touch is just a gimmick. But i do want samsung to copy the capacitive home button. I'm one of those power-user type. And i hate pushing or pressing a button everytime i want to go to the home screen. And i also want samsung to copy the front-facing speaker feature of other phones.

                        But u don't seem smart enuf to realise that those who want iPhones but can't afford them, simply go and buy USED ones at cheaper prices.
                        iPhone 5s had literally flooded some countries today, with even street beggars toting an iPhone 5s. Most of them were bought USED.
                        So it still boils down to a matter of PREFERENCE and not necessarily affordability.
                        I have an iPad mini 2 which my brother gave me, but my no. 1 tablet is my galaxy tab followed by my Kindle and then the iPad. The only things I use the iPad for are face time and watching movies due to its superior voice clarity.
                        But the uncomfortably coarse aluminium back, constantly having to press the home button every time, inability to download vids to storage, inability to transfer files without 3rd party apps among many other reasons are why I have little interest in iPhone.
                        Has NOTHING to do with affordability.

"Apple will still be at the bottom in terms of quality and performance" . One of the most stupid remarks ever, period. Use and iPhone and then comment. Oh! i forgot you dont like being on the latest OS, and you dont like that many known apps release iOS versions first and then android vesions, and Oh!! if forgot, you dont like apps not crashing in iOS and Oh! you also dont like the fact that iPhones never had RAM issues and even a flagship android with 4GB Ram will crash for no reason. Oh!! and also you must be tryingto create an ecosystem of android products with each one of them being on different versions of Android at the same time. Hats off to you mate!!

                                    Okay here's the deal.. I use a Jail Broken 6S as my daily phone and a Rooted/Xposed Nexus 6 as a spare to mess around with and all i have to say is Android feels like a junk operating system compared to IOS.. Android is an inherently bad design from the ground up.. It was originally developed for digital cameras and was never intended to be a mobile OS.. Android is like a School Bus turned into a Ice Cream Truck.. It offers all fancy names, flavors, and varieties of great treats which do great things, but at the wheels its still junk being used for something else.. Android has and will always be a piece of junk until Google revamps the whole thing.. They tried with Lollipop and failed miserably and was their worse release to date..Marshmallow was a major improvement and runs better on my N6.. I'm currently running the N preview and all seems okay.. Ill admit i like Android customization and its applications are perhaps the most useful, functional, open, and usable for daily life much more so than other systems.. But at the end of the day we all know Android is still a Frankensteined lagtastic fragmented junk OS compared to IOS..
