Anyone worried this new home button that isn't actually a button is going to be weird or difficult to get used to?
Got a tip for us?

Also, if you'll use the search function for the word "home," you'll see there are many threads already discussing this:
As above it senses an increase in pressure and you phone pulses simulating a press
Pretty sure the 6s has a physical button not the one mentioned on the 7 page.
He's talking about the 3D Touch display. The MacBook doesn't have a home button at all.
Apple didn't mention anything about TouchID. Do any of you reckon that they have improved TouchID as well?
My main interest is if they have managed to make TouchID work with sweaty fingers. Unfortunately I do suffer from sweaty hand syndrome
and TouchID always fails when my fingers are wet. Would be amazing if they have managed to get it to recognize sweaty/wet fingers.

The question is if the new home button has an improved and faster TouchID that is able to recognize sweaty fingers.

Wouldn't moisture mask the identity of the fingerprint and accepting less than perfect prints would make Touch ID less secure? I'm no biometric expert, but I'd expect Touch ID to be as secure as possible.
I'm no expert either, but I can't see why moisture would mask a fingerprint? I hope that it doesn't otherwise I will always struggle with using TouchID and will continuously need to wipe and dry my hands every time I want to use the phone. It gets especially worse in summer

Next time your finger is sweaty, train the phone as if it is a new finger.
