The iPhone will remove the button that has been in smartphones for 18 years

The era of the iPhone home button is coming to an end. As it has become known, Apple is preparing to introduce a new iPhone SE that will not have a physical home button with Touch ID. This means that all future iPhone models will be equipped exclusively with Face ID face recognition technology.

Since its introduction in 2007, the Home button has become the hallmark of the iPhone. It allowed users to quickly return to the home screen, call Siri, and perform other actions. However, with the development of technology, Apple began to look for new ways for users to interact with their smartphones, MacRumors notes.

The transition to Face ID allowed the company to increase the screen size, and make the design of smartphones more modern and stylized. In addition, the face recognition technology has become more reliable and convenient to use.

The new iPhone SE, which will be the first Apple smartphone without a home button, is expected to inherit many features from the flagship models. These include a powerful A18 processor, support for 5G networks, an improved camera, and increased RAM capacity.

Thus, Apple continues to move forward, abandoning outdated technologies and introducing new innovations. Although for many users the Home button has become a symbol of the iPhone, new technologies such as Face ID open up new opportunities for interaction with the smartphone.
