Apple Is Removing The ‘Home’ Button From Future iPhones

Of all the ~rumoured~ iPhone 8 changes, this one is probz the biggest!

According to a report by Bloomberg Technology, Apple is set to ditch the iPhone home button to make room for a larger screen.

So how the heck do you access the home screen, you ask?

Well, Apple plans to add a thin software bar that you can drag to the middle of the screen to unlock the phone.

Users can also flick the bar upwards to close an app and go back to the home screen.

The reason for this change is to create a taller screen with rounded corners and to allow users to multitask easier.

Sounds like a good enough reason to us!

Here’s a diagram crafted by the geniuses at Bloomberg that indicates the other changes to the iPhone 8:
