        Physical button >>>> fake button. Period.

          HTC did what no one does and showed that solid state buttons on computers like your smartphone is impractical.

              Why are some people lamenting not getting solid state buttons? You really want this horrible feature?

                Apple is ruining whole experience of having a physical experience of everything.

                May be, we would see AR glasses that will show we are having an iPhone in our hands (virtually) while giving haptic feedback to our mind.

                The qualition is do we need this ?

                Removing HeadPhone jack was already one of the dumbest move of last decade.

                  Ugly pill and shuriken borders 🤢

                        apple shoudn.t be trying these types of things they should not release phones every year instead they should make phones that change the industry not slapping an existing phone with new paint and calling it new.

                          Apple: Cant give them too many new things in a year. Dont want them to get used to it and expect new things every year.

                            "They don't deserve thin bezels and solid state buttons in the same" - Apple, probably

                                Good riddance to a ridiculous over-engineered "solution" the a problem that didn't exist.

                                "Let's make a complicated and expensive replacement for these perfectly functional mechanical buttons"

                                  No imx903 this year.

                                  Nothing new. Still easily 50% of ppl that got 14 series will be buying 15 series.
