You will not be able to press the Home button of the iPhone 7 if you are wearing gloves

Small surprise, so logical that we had not even questioned it. It turns out that the new and redesigned Home button, which is now capacitive, will not be able to be used with gloves. This distinctive feature of the new iPhone is going to create more of a headache for iPhone 7 users this winter. Not all that glitters is gold when it comes to replacing the classic mechanical button that Apple has dragged for 9 years with a touch button. Apple did not say anything about it, and the reality is that it is something to take into account in winterEspecially because if we want to use the iPhone on the street we are going to be forced to get quite cold in the hands.

Been Myke hurley who noticed the detail and shared it on social networks quickly:

In this way we have realized that We will not be able to use the Home button if the finger that is pressing it is covered. However, what does seem to work are the popular gloves that allow the use of mobile devices, less is nothing. However, it seems that not everything is clear, latex gloves for example do not activate the Home button, but they do allow us to use the iPhone screen.

This is going to generate an interesting discussion about the use of the device and why Apple does not share official information about this type of thing. As you well know, the new Home button of the iPhone 7 is not a mechanical button, but a touch button that mimics a response thanks to the iPhone 7's taptic sensor. The truth is that we have been able to use an iPhone 7 and the way it imitates the mechanical button is incredible, however, this is the first and we hope that the last drawback that we have been able to find is to use this technology.
