I'll never buy another iPhone without the analog Home button. Having a hardwired "I'm stupid" button makes me feel safe. Keeping it in software means that, when my phone inevitably slows down or crashes, I have no recourse but to wait for the phone to be responsive again.
I know they do it to keep the repair costs down and I appreciate that but the analog button is just that important to me.
- dlbucci 7y agoI dunno, the home button on my first ipod touch (1G) broke, which basically killed that device for me. Meanwhile, I've been on Android for a long time now, and the on-screen home button has never really been an issue like I thought it might. After all, slow software can ignore a hardware input, too.
- Exuma 7y agoEveryone ssys this but this has never once happened... not a single time.
- pwinnski 7y agoJust for you: iPhone 8, $450.
- ihuman 7y agoTechnically, that doesn't have an analog home button. Its a non-moving pressure sensor that uses the taptic engine to feel like your pressing a button.
- tcmb 7y agoA hardware button still doesn't help if the software is not responding, does it? What else should a hardware home button do, than to cause some change in the software?
