Unfortunately it's very likely the button will be gone in favor of Face ID and it's going to use the case design of a previous model so it will get bigger. It's going to suck to operate when wearing a helmet and glasses.
- Etheryte 2y agoThey could somewhat sidestep this problem if they did what some Android phones do and put a fingerprint sensor into the power button. Not that I think they will do that, but in a different world, they could.

- alephnerd 2y ago> but in a different world, they could. The issue is margins. That is an additional SKU to manage, and Apple is extremely ruthless in minimizing redundant components, as this was a major reason Apple had horrid margin in the 1990s. All manufacturers are moving away from buttons for that reason - from automotive to consumer electronics. The same money spent on a dedicated SKU for buttons can be spent on a better optimized OLED display to reduce lag.
