iphone 5 mockup - why the big home button?

[Interstella5555]

The current iPhone 4 is one of the worst phones to actually hold and use as a phone. Too many angular edges.


I assume you know that by trying to be clever like that, it shows that you must actually be worried about it...

Totally disagree, it's much better than the plastic crap they pulled with the 3G/S. The 2G and 4 are the two best designs of pretty much any phone I've seen, going back to the toy design of the previous 2 phones would be a huge step backwards.

I think all the mockups have it wrong

the cases need an opening that large, because they need to expose the "gesture area"

this doesn't mean the gesture area is also a button. I think the home button will be the same, with the gesture area being around it, but not actually a part of the button.

This would certainly be better than what the rumours are suggesting.
