I've never had an issue with the home button. Pointless complaint.
Oh me either. But I understand the concept of statisticsthat neither you nor I had an issue with the home button is precisely what's pointless.

Nevermind... I get it...
3 Black models
3 White models
6x3 would be 18 versions for all of the carriers.

Yep, seriously. It's stupid. Btw, if you think the non-physical buttons on the other phones don't break as well, you'd be wrong.
The entire argument is stupid and pointless.
The whole point is Apple is supposed to be the first to market with it...right. INNOVATIIOONN!
Apple is rarely "first" to market, but when they bring it to market, they do it right.
My *one* experience is actually *thousands* of experiences. I'm a mail admin for an extremely large global company. I deal with mobile devices all day long. I've been configuring iPhones as well as many others) to connect to mail servers since 2007. I'm telling you that the failure rate, even on the physical button, is much lower than the failures I've seen on so many other devices. Complaining about the iPhone home button is pointless.
Buttons may all die eventually, but I've seen machines where buttons are used for decades without failure. So yeah, eventually...but that might mean 20 years. Worrying about it is dumb. Anything and everything can fail at some point. The iPhone home button does not have a high failure rate or this forum would be filled with threads on it. But as it stands, they are few and far between.
Edit: let's acknowledge one thing, Apple does design very well. Their products usually all last very well. They obviously could have made the the button capacitive from the start. It probably came up as an option during the original design. And yet they decided to go physical. If you guys think this design wasn't well vetted out by Apple before choosing it, then you why are you buying an Apple product in the first place. Apple chose a physical button for a reason. I don't know what that reason is, but knowing Apple it wasn't just some stupid decision with no thought behind it. And anybody who says otherwise is clueless and not thinking about their statement before making it.
Such as MobileMe?
Why? 16GB is fine for me. In fact, I'll be ordering three of them. Why would you want to take that option away from me?
I don't see the issue with mobile me before it went to iCloud.
I've got 15 months or so left on my 4S contract, so I'm more interested in knowing when we'll see iOS 6. Hopefully that's shipped soon after the event.
Same here.... I got the 4s on the release date last year, but you have AT&T you can get a early update discount, however you have to pay an extra $250. Totally worth it if u want the new one. Just sell ur 4s on eBay. Sold my 3G last year for 185.00
Break it! Sell your old phone on ebay, it will most likely pay your ETF and then give you some seed money for your 5, but that might mean switching carriers.
Were you there in the beginning of MobileMe? MobileMe had so many issues, we both know that.
I went through .Mac to MobileMe and now iCloud. I also recall iTools.
It's ridiculous if the storage stays the same. 32Gb should be the minimum at this point.
I have had button issues as well on multiple iPhones. Your flaw in your reasoning is thinking all buttons are made the same from both a quality and durability standpoint
All I know is that I was either very unlucky with the small sample of iPhones and iPod touches where 75% of them did have home button issues or that the button design is not as durable as it should be
Either way, having a faulty home button is irritating
Edit: a google search seems to make it not a rare issue to be had

Google search turns up issues for capacitive button issues as well. Apparently you missed that point.
If you have a 75% failure rate, you might wanna check yourself. If that were a realistic failure rate, Apple would have stopped selling phones with the first model.
