1. No Home Button
Apple has been under a lot of pressure by Samsung to increase the size of it's screens, as mentioned previously in the article. Apple's next release will look to further close the gap between the iPhone and it's competitors. The iPhone 5 was the beginning, as it included a larger screen, stretching it out over an inch. However, Apple has been under further pressure, as consumers seemed unimpressed by the re-sizing, seemingly hoping for more. Many rumours and ideas have been floated around, such as the moving of the home button to the side as housing. The home button is undoubtedly the weakest button on the iPhone, regularly bearing the majority of the brunt of wear and tear, which the cable running from the button to the main board can't really handle, leading to the home button often creating problems, and is the main cause of warranty returns for Apple, along with the battery which got poor reviews on the iPhone 5 for its insanely short lifespan. However, one of the worst ideas is the rumour that Apple is planning to remove the button all together. The home button is vital to the performance of the iPhone, and provides a versatile service to the phone. while the touch is used as the main navigational system, exiting screens via the touch are sometimes unresponsive (seen in closing advertisement on free applications). Not only would the redesign make the phone more expensive than necessary, it would be incredibly annoying. Click "next" below to read the one good idea rumour we keep hearing...
