Looks like trouble. I’m sure it would be easy to break the plug off in the port. No thanks. Looks like they added an earphone jack too
 
If that even dumber virtual home button is gone and this physical home button is integrated in a case, this idea could prove to be very useful. Right now? A cool dongle but that’s it. I do like the attempt to add a headphone jack though. Even if I like home button, I don’t like it in such form. And surely there is no “Touch ID” whatsoever.
