With the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the home button still existed but was replaced with a taptic engine that replicated the same button press as that of a physical home button. With the iPhone 8, Apple intends to completely replace the home button with something far more intuitive; an iOS 11 dock and gesture controls for the user. Here is how both of these changes are going to work on the new iPhone. >A report from Bloomberg describes the elimination of the home button and replacing it with more intuitive features that will grant more ‘ease of use’ for future consumers.
