Pressure Sensitive Home Button and Space Blank Pain Job Could Feature in Apple IPhone 7

The leaks as regards the unique features of the new Apple IPhone 7 that is going to be launched later on this year has not stopped and in the latest revelation, it seems that the home button in the latest version is going to be pressure sensitive. There are plenty of other features that are going to make Apple fans excited about the latest smart phone from the company.

A recent report on the website CNET stated,"Apple is planning to revamp the home button to use pressure-sensitive technology, Bloomberg reported Monday, citing "people familiar with the matter. Instead of offering a physical button that you press down to trigger an action, the new iPhone 7 will feature a non-physical button that vibrates to let you know you've touched it. This rumor was also tipped off by Japanese blog site Makotakara in late July."

"The latest report reaffirms the long-running rumors that Apple's next iPhone will offer only modest changes. With the iPhone sales on a downslide over the past few quarters, Apple needs something big to draw in buyers.

Another much-rumored feature also served up by Bloomberg's sources is a dual-camera system for the iPhone 7 Plus."

The report went on to add, "The new iPhones, according to Bloomberg, will also ditch the traditional 3.5mm audio jack, another rumor that's been making the rounds. In its place would be a second speaker, giving the iPhone stereo speakers for the first time. Instead of using audio cables that plug into the traditional jack, people would use wirelessheadphones and speakers or ones that plug into the Lightning port. Adapters would likely be available that would let you continue to use your existing audio accessories.

Finally, the iPhone 7 will come in a new Space Black color, 9to5Mac reported Monday, basing its info on a series of leaked photos. If true, Space Black would mimic the same color available for the Apple Watch. As always, rumors like these should be taken with a grain of salt. We'll discover the actual features and specs of the iPhone 7 when Apple hosts its launch event in September as anticipated. Apple did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment."
