Comment: I’ve grown to love the new Home button on the iPhone 7 [Video]

<p>A change to the iPhone’s Home button was long-rumored, but when Phil Schiller confirmed the existence of the iPhone 7’s solid state Home button, that’s when you knew it was for real.</p>
<p>The iPhone 7 isn’t Apple’s first foray into this area, as the MacBook line has taken a similar approach with its trackpad (https://9to5mac.com/2016/05/21/10-reasons-consider-2016-retina-macbook/). But the iPhone is way more popular than the Mac and more people own and use iPhones when compared to the Mac.</p>
<p>It’s common knowledge that the majority of Apple’s profits are generated by the iPhone, so a fundamental change to the device’s primary hardware input method wasn’t something for Apple hardware engineers to take lightly.</p>
<p>The good news is that, despite initial criticism, the iPhone 7 Home button is actually quite good once you get used to it. While it does have a few downsides, the change has produced several new positive side effects as well. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/03/opinion-new-iphone-7-home-button/#more-448670" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
