Apple May Be Returning to Glass-on-Glass Touch Panels for iPhone 7

Ewww no no no. If it's in do not disturb I dont want it to disturb. At all. Also I fricken hate flashing LEDs or lights on for no reason. I've even placed stickers over stuff to stop it. Apple TV is a shocker.
Awesome. I can do that on my iPhone, I just turn off Do Not Disturb. I think the clue is in the feature name.
4K resolution on a phone? Seriously? Why?
Is this going to be the new "our camera has more megapixels than yours" marketing thing? Except it's worse, as higher resolution = higher power drain

Calm down. You can turn them off or customise them however you want. Remember the Samsung runs Android, not ios.
Touch ID is built into the home button. I don't see them losing the home button for quite some time.
This article is about the display construction, not the body of the phone. There's no hint of a return to a glass back here.
Yeah but the article I just linked says Apple may be planning on making the touchscreen one big fingerprint scanner, eliminating the need for Touch ID in the home button.
Apple is completely lost without Steve Jobs. At first they scrapped his idea for the iPhone 5 which would have been closer to the iPhone 6 and have a tapered design, with a wider home button to be able to swipe left and right.
Then they release the 5S which brought absolutely NOTHING, then the iPhone 6/+ which brought nothing but the size Samsung has been doing with for years, and now the iPhone 6S will look EXACTLY the same ****** colours and bring absolutely nothing innovative.

Why stop at 4k when 8k is around the corner... 4k on a 5 inch phone.... Thanks Apple for spending resources in such a sound way. Am I the only one who doesn't want to pay $1 more for higher resolution than on an iPhone 6???
That would be cool. But they might also make the home button into a display of its own.
Even if the home button and Touch ID move to become part of the large display, I would imagine that you'd still have to read your finger in a certain limited region of the screen--at least initially. For example, maybe one corner of the screen, or the bottom quarter. Or even a space the size of the current home button, which is indicated with a graphical ring to guide the user when relevant.
Also, the glass backs were clearly lower quality glass, in my experience. I had to replace the glass back on my iPhone 4 twice (I even switched to a third-party metal one for a while), and have never cracked an iPhone's screen.Yeah, nothing more fun than having to keep "two" glass surfaces fingerprint-free
The trolling here lol...
So the 5S brought nothing? Did you forget about TouchID?
Honestly I can't imagine an iPhone in 2022 still having a physical click home button. I guess we'll have to come back to this thread in 7 years and see who eats their words
Well if we're going to go 7 years into the future that's 7 or so iterations of iPhones. I cannot imagine the iPhone 14 having any similarities to the iPhone we use today. Technology that today makes the home button useful (Like Touch ID) will be radically different by then.
Their phones were plastic until the current generation. Where is this high quality you speak of?
Must be some high quality plastic
Also their Edge phone is such a gimmick. Because the edges are curved the screen isn't nearly as wide as it should be and just looks odd. So really you're getting less actual real estate for viewing content.
The company you elude to is a different kind of company. Apple creates designs that interpret their market place. The S*g company arena is more about thin margin disposable inexpensive consumables.
I want a 5.0 or 5.2 iPhone that is as small to hold in the hand as possible.
It is ridiculous that the iPhones footprint is so big, for the screen size at present.
The 6plus is also meant to be symmetrical, but it isn't.
Its just pig ugly and bends.
And when you look at companies like Xiaomi who blatantly copy apple and still put out better looking devices, you really have to wonder what Apple is doing.
