I can imagine how pissed off some people here will be if a 3.5" screen part for the next iPhone gets leaked.:

Home button needs fixing
Although this hardly seems like news I have found that the home button is the most frequently broken or worn out part of the iPhones I have had. I have had a couple replaced by Apple because they became unresponsive. I love the home button and how it works, but it needs to be more reliable. Hopefully Apple has found a way to improve upon the original design of the home button for the iPhone 6.

i think they are going to call the new and old Iphone and Ipad like they call the macbooks and imac. early 2010 mbp, 2011 late imac.
Okay, how about this?
The image on MacRumors does not have the silicone rubber, check the last image on this page: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-iPhone-4S-Home-Button/7282/14
An actual button has the advantage of being operated more easily by feel, for users with minimal vision, or not fully awake, or otherwise busy.
Given that in various countries there are laws and regulations requiring a certain amount of support for the visually impaired, it may well be lower risk to leave it as is.

What if this isn't an iPhone part after all but the home button for that rumored iPad Mini? (dun dun dun dun...)
Actually, as pointless as this news seems, it gives me hope. I've had two home buttons start going bad on me before, so it would be great if Apple is improving it so that they are less prone to failure.
It seems like with a larger surface area under the button, it will probably have a more even feel to it, and hopefully not fail as easily.

It would be interesting to know the truth behind Apples insistence on clinging to a low tech mechanical home button.
It simply doesn't fit with the image an innovative company likes to portray. Especially since Apple values minaturization, a tiny display and a very compact form factor.
Perhaps it's an emotional attachment.

I haven't found them to be unresponsive. After 1 year my iPhone 4's home button would intermittently stop registering button presses, now that is unresponsive. I like the tactile feedback but if this is going to be an issue with hardware buttons, I'm ok with capacitive ones.
Please
Can we please stop calling the sixth-generation iPhone the "iPhone 5"? We already have a concrete statement from Apple saying they dislike being predictable, and the iPhone 4S is the fifth-generation iPhone. I can't be the only one to see the complete lack of logical thought in calling the sixth-generation iPhone the "iPhone 5."

Who the hell cares what kind of button some iCrap device will have in the future???
This is exactly why I don't come to MacRumors very often anmyore. Too little pro talk, too much iWhatever...
Come on! This is a page one article?
I myself start to see Apple as a pure gadget company now. Once you accepted that for yourself, it doesn't feel too bad anymore.
It is just tough, because I am a Mac User since 25 years and my main workstations have always been Macs. Good old times. When my current Mac Pro is getting too old, I will probably jump ship and switch to Windows. Pro users are not important to Apple anymore.
That's what you wanted Apple! Right? Soon you'll get it...
Apple will only remain in my private life with some toys... for now. No business on Apple anymore.
I could really cry...

For the next iRumor I'd like to have a sample of the black color of the black iPhone.
The title would read "Exact shade of black of the new iPhone leaked".

Sure, it's just a home button and there is not much to be said about it. But the fact that it's different at least confirms one very important thing: the next iPhone will be a redesign, there are now no possibility of an "iPhone 4SS". Phew!...
