iPhone 7 Specs, Release Date, & More: 3D Touch Home Button Highly Likely As More Leaks Come Out

Avid users of Apple's iPhone devices must be extremely excited for the unveiling of the iPhone 7 as more leaks support the highly anticipated 3D Home Button feature in the device.

Apple's new iPhone which the media so wittingly called the "iPhone 7" is now making headlines as more information about the redesigning of its iconic Home Button emerged. According to the Business Insider, Cowen and Company analysts predict the inclusion of the Force Touch technology in the iPhone 7's Home button. The feature which is now described as a "3D Home Button" will be characterized by a home button-like feature that would sit flush along with the rest of the phone.

Apparently, this button which is not actually a physically moving one will have a mechanism that would provide users with a sensation of pressing a button through a sort of haptic feedback. Combined with Apple's Force Touch technology, the new feature will surely be appreciated by many considering that it decreases the possibility of breakdowns since there will be fewer moving parts in it.

The rumors about this 3D Home Button became trending all over the Internet after a blurry photo revealed by 9to5Mac showed an alleged touch-sensitive button that resembles that of the iPhone 6. According to the Apple-dedicated website, the button appears to be "flat with the bezel" which became the basis for the rumors about Apple ditching the actual physical button.

If this is indeed true, the Business Insider believes that Apple may have just made one of the best decisions it has in years since the constant breakdown of the physical Home Button has long been the iPhone's weakness. Aside from that, Cowen and Company experts also believe that Apple will be making the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack to make it as waterproof as possible. If true, that would be another great selling point for the new iPhone device which is set to be unveiled this fall.
