Which home button click did you choose? [MERGED]

[pixel_junkie]

Is there an option to turn the haptic off completely?

3 feels the closest to the button, so that's what I'm using.

I choosed 3, but really considered going for 2. Both feel pretty nice, but the 3rd option felt just a little better.

Don't understand why they've been complaining about the new home button in all these reviews. I like it already, and I just got the phone.

2. It's perfect.

Can you describe how the home button compares now please? Just for those that are on the pre touch id devices we may not truly know the difference!

I just tried several iPhones 7 and 7 PLUS at the Apple Store and I was truly surprised how good the new home button felt. It really felt like an actual button being pressed AND released.

IMO, the haptic action for the new home button is much better than that given when one 3D Touches an app, et al. It even felt just like a proper release of the button while executing a double- or triple-click of the home button. I was concerned that this wouldn't be the case.

To address the OP, I chose 2, mostly because I like to leave adjustability in both directions. All three weren't significantly different to me, but they were different. I pretty much decided to like 2.

Regarding pre-Touch ID, iPhone 5 and earlier have a different button - concave vs. flat - thus a different feel in the unpressed state. From the 5S to the 6 / PLUS / SE, the feel is nearly identical. For the 7, the feel is similar in the unpressed state, but (obviously) a new experience when pressing the home button.

I picked 3 because it resembles a real click the most.

So what does this change/do?

So what does this change/do?

It makes the haptic vibrations, which simulate an actual button press, stronger or weaker.

Thats what I thought, thanks!

1 is plenty enough for me. I really, really like this over the mechanical. it's a trip though when you're pushing it with the phone off.

 

[xeio]

started with 3. now i use 2. for me the haptic feedback on 3 wasnt every time the same. sometimes i felt a lower Feedback, sometimes a higher... On setting "2" its every time the same

 

[hallidc]

#3 for me, however I wish there was an option for no haptic feedback for times I don't want any vibration

 

[Benito]

Liked 3 on the 7, then switched to the 7 plus and felt that the haptic feedback was stronger and then switched to 1.

 

[tallazzPilipino]

the 1 on my 7 doesn't feel that much different than 1 on my Plus. using 1 for both.

Question but is the button actually separate or part of the front panel. Meaning could water get in between

 

[iArneezy]

Mine is on 2. Does anyone know if having 3 impacts the battery? I'm guessing it does but you probably wouldn't even notice a difference.

 

[happyslayer]

I started with 2. And have been happy with it. I love the Taptic stuff. My MacBooks have had it since last year and they felt/feel amazing as well. Definitely better than actual buttons in my opinion.

 

[tallazzPilipino]

would be nice if the previous s models offered the Taptic effects, too. the option isn't even there on the 6s Plus.

 

[big samm]

Im on 2

No, it's an indent in the bezel, but it's all one piece.

I just looked at the tear down and it in fact can be taken out of the bezel.

Iphone 7/7+ users, which home button did you prefer?

 

[44267547]

Haptic home button. More responsive in my opinion.

 

[SoN1NjA]

Hey everyone, just got my new iPhone 7. What click setting do y'all have your iPhone 7 set on? I have 3, because it feels closet to what it's replacing (mechanical Home button)

 

[apwtwenty]

two (2)
