Apple's iPhone 7 is shaping up to be a more intriguing device than we may have originally given it credit for.
According to a new report from Macotakara - a site with an impressive track record regarding Apple rumours - the home button on Apple's next-gen iPhone will sit flush with the screen and will not move when pressed, reported news.com.au.
Instead, Apple is planning to incorporate a series of sensors underneath the home button that will trigger a slight vibration when pressed. This, in turn, will provide users with the illusion that the iPhone 7 home button is a mechanical button.
While we've seen rumblings pointing to a home button redesign before, Macotakara's corroboration arguably provides exceedingly convincing proof that the iPhone's tried and true home button will see an innovative new redesign come September.
The report further adds that the sensors underneath the iPhone 7 home button will be pressure sensitive, thereby paving the way for Apple to incorporate 3D Touch functionality on the screen as well as via the home button itself.
