So Force Touch in the Home Button? To go along with light double tapping for Reachability, Double press to bring up previous used Apps, long press to bring up Siri, Double press on the lock screen to force open Apple Pay.
Nope, I think what he was trying to point out was that if we applied your mentality we would never get to iPhone. I'm sure there were people at the nokia time which were saying exactly the same as you (its thing etc. enough just give me this).
You can't stop progress & there is no such thing as "thin enough". It may be for you but not for others.
Also, what you are asking is simple. There are plenty of cases that have battery inside so why not get that and be happy? Or you really are bothered by the "ruined" look?
So yeah, lets keep improving
Err That is EXACTLY what you asked for. Like the old saying goes, be careful what you ask for, you might just get it lol
Though I have to say about the iPhone. I have had every iPhone since the 4s and They all were robust and the battery life was good. Maybe could it be that your battery life is not as good as should be because your unable to put it down for more than a moment?
Could it be that you have every setting turned on and constantly check Facebook and Twitter?
I bet that you reply to me saying how you have all the settings turned off that effect battery life and hardly ever use it.
If so than I believe you, millions would not
The ring is also a classic style element. It's an identifying look that has been present on every iPhone since the original.
I think you'll still be able to feel it. For instance the Touch ID sensor will still have an activation ring that should be tactile.
What no one wants is Home Button going away entirely. No one outside of trollbots.
Apple should honestly "leak" some real information about the iPhone 7 because all these "rumors" have it sounding like a complete dud. If the iPhone 6s ended up failing to sell well as a product then the iPhone 7, so far, isn't a stunning return for the company.
If I were Apple I would seriously NOT release an iPhone this year, build up excitement and anticipation for another year and put some real R&D into the 7 instead of releasing another also ran product.

I don't know who you people are that like flush buttons and getting rid of bezels, frames, and empty space. One of the most important features of the macbook air 13" over the 11" is the grab space on either side of the keyboard. Empty space is where you can grab the item. Like the handle on a knife is not wasted space, it's the friggin' handle! I don't want a knife that's all knife and I don't want to eliminate the grab space on my phone, or laptop. My fingers should be able to understand what I'm holding as much as my eyes.
I can appreciate going solid state with force touch for the home button, but it had better not be flush. That would be as irritating as replacing the entire keyboard with a touch screen for typing ... which admittedly has benefits for changing languages and many people would get used to but still... Real buttons for people with real fingers! I want to be able to find the button by touch. I don't want to accidentally unlock my phone all the time when I'm just pulling it out of my pocket. Flush buttons are always terrible. I'm waiting for the dynamic tactile display capable of presenting iphone keyboard buttons that you can feel and raising braille dots over regular text. Give me that in the iPhone 7+4GSE in Rose Gold please.

WOW! Talk about Apple innovation, Flush on the watch, I've always hated touching that little handle,Oh wait, just saw the comma
No but Apple could learn a thing or two from them. I want an iOS device with those requirements as i am in engrained in the apple ecosystem.
i don't want an Android i prefer iOS. Wishing for simple features on iPhones that would improve the expierience doesn't mean I desire an Android.
Why the need for the snarky comment about the keyboard?
Maybe if you actually read the article instead of trying (and failing) to be funny you would realize it doesn't have a mechanism at all.
