    So when pressing the iPhone 7 home button you would feel the Taptic Engine right? Well when the very tip of my thumb presses it (my nail and edge of my finger print) it doesn't sense it, I don't feel anything and it feels solid and nothing happens, what gives? My fingerprint can read it? but I can't unlock my ****ing phone!!!!

    How many iPhones did you order/cancel before you got the one you don't like already?

    The home button is capacitive. It needs skin contact to let you "press" the button. Has nothing to do with your fingerprint imo.
    Also, the new home button won't work with normal gloves on. Winter is coming!

    The home button has to have skin contact more then a small amount. You nail won't don't it.

    I just reserved an iPhone 7 Plus black 256gb this morning 8:00, ready for pickup at 12, it's not the iPhone I wanted, I wanted jet black, but at least it's a Plus. I still have 4 reserved.

    Went to the Apple store to play with the phones (since my Plus won't be here till Tuesday) and I enjoy the operation of the home button and the feedback it provides. But I flip and flop between Android and iOS all the time especially with my Nexus 6 that only has onscreen buttons.

    Not sure if you will experience this, but my apple store last night wouldn't sell more than two iPhones to me. Even though they were all registered under the IUP with their own serial and IMEI. Again, it might be a "store" rule at the time but jacked up in my opinion.

    Try to adapt. If your thumb nail is getting in the way, cut it.
