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.

Sort by:

That would be a bad move imo. I much prefer having a physical button to press. If they had something similar to the force touch feature on the Macbook Pro it wouldn't be so bad from an ergonomic perspective, but that wouldn't help how ugly it would look for it to be under the glass.

        Design wise I still prefer old iPhone4s which used to look unique and premium design but from durability point of view I would prefer iPhone 5s design

          RAY, 15 Jun 2016hey android fans.! why are you guys just hate apple? give m... moreAgreed. Most people just complain for being pricey and cannot afford it, but I can bet majority of people will be ready to use iPhone if ever apple starts selling at low price.
          We one already had other apple products like mac or iPad. IPhone is the perfect phone to invest. Simplest reason being tight integration of OS, across all products.

                I have a Note 3. I don't really like samsung copying apple. But if iphone will have a capacitive home key, then this is what i want samsung to copy. I'm tires of keeping on pushing or pressing everytime i want to go to the home screen. And i also want samsung to beat apple on the front facing speaker feature. I want these things on the new Note 6 or 7. Whatever it's called. Then maybe i can upgrade to the new Note phone.

                            may be he/she was an ex isheep who comes first to show and disclose the apple illusion world..
                            please grow up and try to face the reality of apple devices and stop defending your decision ..
                            and now come to the word '' innovation ''
                            apple didnt use this word in wwdc beacuse they finally able to understand the meaning of the word and in this wwdc and in upcoming september iphone event they did not have anything which satisfy the meaning of the word '' innovation''
                            so stay relax..

                              Is this copying from meizu..? Meizu has this named as mtouch.....

Yet... moreAlmost every succeeding iphone takes up the same launch price as its predecessor while the older model gets a price cut. Or is your WP bias getting in the way of your senses? Maybe you should just go to your beloved sinking ship right now to help with getting the water out.
