Past, Apple: "You're holding the phone the wrong way"
Now probably, Apple: "You're touching the home button the wrong way"
Soon, Apple: "You're using the phone the wrong way"

[deleted post]no one is going to buy it? kiddin me? samsung suspended sales till sep 28th so obviously nobody will buy it till then. And after that you will be 100% sure that note 7 will have probably the most secure battery ever because of this flaw and samsung take care about this and will be fixing this.
They could have ignored this, just like apple, but they decided to take all 2mil note 7 just because 35 notes expoded, thats a good move from customer side.

According to the article and Twitter, the iPhone7 home button would not work if you wearing glove. What this mean is you can't use the home button with glove on if you want to go to the home screen. It's not about the fingerprint recognition.

This is a serious flaw no matter how you look at it. Apple messed up big time with iPhone 7, not to mention the removal of head phone jack. I never liked iPhone (os only) and with this new phone, i see no reason to get one at all. Its a really stupid buy if u ask me. Nothing new nor outstanding about this phone. My advice for those iPhone worshippers out there is to buy the previous model. Enjoy.

It seems that everybody is trying to find an issue with the new Iphone as usual."The home button "press" is necessary" Not true at all as there is an option called "rest finger to unlock" you just have to enable it.This is certanly not a deal breaker for most people.

"Still, it is interesting to see when and how Apple reacts to the matter." I know how Apple is going to react. They will say "You are touching it wrong." And blame the users like they always did.

I am not sure what's the problem here.
Anyway you can unlock the phone .org use the phone with gloves. Basically only thing you might miss is waking up the phone by pressing the key but then I phone 6s and 7 has the wake to raise feature with ios 10.
Please let me know if I am missing something.
P.S. no bashing please. A s7 edge owner (switched from note edge) and an iphone 6 owner (waiting for 7 plus jet black to get delivered).

Which is why I'm getting a Galaxy Grenade 7, once the grenade bit is replaced. Eye print login option so you can fire things up when skiing!
