Apple is reportedly dropping the home button that has existed ever since its inception from iPhone’s 2017 model.
Rather than having a home button, the 2017 version of the phone will have one long sheet of glass screen. Although the size of the phone is likely to remain the same, this change is part of a major design haul, as this is not the only change Apple is bringing to iPhone.
