After 3D Touch Display for the iPhone might get in the future, a pressure-sensitive home button. Whether the technique, however, already is used in iPhone 7, is still unclear.
After 3D touch display Apple could develop a 3D touch home button next. This suggests, according to Apple Insider close at least one patent application submitted by the now approved the US Patent Office. Here Apple seems to transmit the idea of a pressure-sensitive sensor on the iPhone home button.
Home-button is used for 3D touch element
From a technical perspective the druckempfindliche home button should work somewhat like 3D Touch or touch Force. To measure sensors inside the smartphones the distance between two electrodes and recognize the fact expresses how hard the user on the home button. The Touch ID feature to unlock the iPhone fingerprint you want to keep anyway.
What is the purpose pursued Apple with the new technology, is not yet known. It is conceivable, however, that the home button could get even more features in the future. So could a slight pressure as previously used to unlock your smartphone or to switch to the home screen. In high pressures, an additional menu might open contrast to the iPhone, which allows quick access to certain functions or apps.
Other Smartphones know similar functions already
Similar functions are already implemented in some Android smartphones. So opens on devices from LG when held down on the Task Manager button an additional menu that allows access to all phone settings. Whether Apple will bring the new technology at the upcoming iPhone 7 used is unclear. Normally, it always takes a while until a new technique actually finds its way into a finished product.
