need a physical button

not only does iphone need a camera button...
i also think they need a versatile home button or even another button on the bottom. yeah it's the minimalistic design and WHAT NOT.... but damn
let's talk about efficiency... maybe a multitasking button or whatever...
that would be awesome.
 
Physical button definitely. Using the autofocus for a self-portrait etc is a pain without.
 
No. Too many buttons is kind of weird IMO. The iPhone is meant to have a minimalist design.
 
I would want a Button so when i'm walking to school and i see a sportscar i can take a picture.... Last week i saw a Ford GT guess whos Iphone took forever to get to the camera
 
Theres a JB app called Snaptap which lets you use the volume buttons as the capture button on the camera. Alot more effecient than trying to find an invisible button on a screen when you cant see the screen!
 
i know this is an old thread.. but any word on any of the new volume buttons acting as a shutter button?

is it true JB could add this feature?
 
It's that tapping the screen knocks the phone because you're holding it at an unnatural angle.

If you hold it up as if your texting, and tap softly with one of your thumbs I don't think it'll be much of an issue at all.
