It's funny reading the comments. A lot of the commentators are all riled up over some mock iPhone models that are based off possible prototypes. It's like getting angry that Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, and Ben Affleck as the Batman. Calm down people, can't we just wait until the final product is released?
I believe it's just for TouchID. The home button as we know it may still be where we have it now, just embedded into the display.

If we could wait then I guess this thread and website wouldn't exist. Why even come here? Thats said of course we get angry just look at that thing its hideous. Thats the best a almost Trillion Dollar company can do? I hope not..
But that's not a big deal at all... two minutes of charging will last all day and it barely takes any time of charging to get weeks of battery life. It's a non-issue.

I don't see how that's possible. How would the home button not interfere with anything that's full screen?
it's a virtual Home Button. It's been in discussion for several months already. If you do a search you'll find it.
So so proud of Samsung for making such a beautiful phone! hmm Very interesting.

Yeah Apple is so much more superior than Samsung because Apple is not going to put the Touch Id on the back but under the screen itself. C'mon dont you think Samsung would of place the finger scanner under the screen if it was possible at this date and time?

Did anyone watch the video? Or read the article? Jesus people. The images are for reference and not depicted in the video. The iPhone in the video has no fingerprint scanner on the back and is secksy.
I'm well aware of the rumor. I'm saying it's silly and wouldn't work in reality. If you have a full screen app, there has to be a dedicated part of the screen for the home button. You can't just magically make it show up on the screen.
This does not look good, it looks more like one of the early models rather then a step forward from the 7. The sensor on the back of the images look fugly too. Very strange how they've made it thicker, there must be some killer feature to justify that.
Think of the track bar on the MBP or the dock on OSX perhaps it will work like that....Can't is a pretty strong word

its thicker so they can make it thinner later
Then you wouldn't need to put Touch ID on the back. Do you see why none of this makes sense? If there's a dedicated area for the home button, then there's also a space for Touch ID. I don't see any scenario where it needs to be on the back.Think of the track bar on the MBP or the dock on OSX perhaps it will work like that....Can't is a pretty strong word

you will see... you remind me of those people who said you don't need a touch screen on a phone.....
There's a huge fundamental difference there, but okay... if you're just going to discard every point I make by saying I remind you of people who know nothing about user interfaces, then I suppose you've already decided to end the conversation.you will see... you remind me of those people who said you don't need a touch screen on a phone.....
Touch ID on the back makes zero sense. Period.
