If you have an iPhone, you've probably experienced the dreaded home button lag; sometimes it simply doesn't work. It seems that Apple has figured out the home button's inefficiency wasn't isolated to a few phones because new rumors suggest they're fixing the problem.
Bloomberg is reporting that the new iPhone 7's home button will be replaced with a pressure-sensitive button; meaning instead of physically clicking the home button, it will simulate the click because of the sensors. The introduction of a pressure-sensitive home button also means fewer parts, and fewer parts that could fail — which is why our home buttons have the occasional failure.
The same report also repeated what we already suspected about the one of the new iPhones: a dual-lens camera and the headphone jack's removal. While the official announcement isn't until September, we can't help but hope this particular rumor is true!
