This is solid report says
the Black iPhone 7 its real
which has a good accuracy record when it comes
to iPhone rumors, is reporting that the home button on the next iPhone will be
flat to the screen and rely on haptic feedback to let you know when it’s been
pressed.
Further, that means that Touch ID
may also be buried under the glass, though it could very well just sit as a
raised ring on the phone’s surface, much as it is now. Really, it sounds as
though Apple is planning to use a hap tic engine rather than mechanical
movement for the Home button on the
iPhone 7.

The report also says that Apple’s
new hardware is capable of 3D Touch. If true, it’s possible Apple will simply
make the Home button more like Force Touch, which we find on newer MacBooks and
the new Force Touch Trackpad from Apple.
If you’re not familiar with that
feature, it gauges how deeply you’re pressing to return different information —
much like 3D Touch on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. The difference between the two
technologies is that 3D Touch can be used anywhere on a screen, and to select
or move items. Touch ID simply offers up deep-linked info like the
definition of a word or cards in Apple Maps.
Force Touch is a desktop futer,
though — and I’m not sure just how Apple would work it into the iPhone. Really,
it seems counterintuitive to 3D Touch in mobile applications; would you use
your finger to place a cursor on-screen, then use the Home button to find a
definition or get more info when you could do the same using 3D Touch?
I’m sold on the flat Home button with haptic
feedback acting like the Home button you use now, though. Further, Macotakara
