It all started with the news of the four finger swipe today in iOS 4.3 for iPad which replicates the functionality of the home button. Soon, BGR coincidentally got a tip that the home button was going missing from future iPads and iPhones running around Cupertino.
Other things to consider:
- How do you do a hard reset without a home button?
- And what about people without all of their fingers?
- The physical home button is still functioning when the touch panel interface crashes. Soft buttons and gestures crash here too.
- There are too many reasons to need a home button for us to believe this. Maybe the home button moves to the bottom?
What do you think?
