What's with the HUGE home button?

[SerrQ]

In most of the iPhone 5's pictures/mockups, there is a giant home button.. why?

It implies gestures and touch capabilities. Personally, I don't like the look either but we'll see.

I really don't like how it looks. On another note, here is another thread where people (including myself) have been voicing our opinions about the rumoured home button.

the thread is even still on page 1 of this forum. People just don't bother looking before creating new threads these days

In my opinion, the functionality the button brings could be there, but I doubt it'd look larger. All the cases have is a cutout for SOMETHING. Not necessarily ALL home button. It could be a normal sized home button surrounded by a touch area, which the cases have to leave exposed. Thats how I think Apple would do it, if they were to do it
