This could be the «Function Area» of the «iPhone 8 with iOS 11

The absence of the iconic home button on the next iPhone 8 will mean much more than the obvious cosmetic change. That round button that has characterized the iPhone since its launch and that little by little has been preparing for its disappearanceFrom erasing the central square with the iPhone 5s to ceasing to be a mechanical button with the iPhone 7, it will leave space for the screen to occupy the entire front of the iPhone, but also the most creative have thought from the beginning to add to that part At the bottom, a kind of «functional area» (Function Area) that would change depending on the app or the screen we have open. This concept makes it very clear how Apple could take advantage of that new area.

According to rumors that speak of this functional area, the iPhone 8 screen would be 5,8 inches, but in many cases it would leave space only for 5,15 inches thanks to an area at the bottom of the screen, right where now there is the start button, in which a keypad would appear from time to time with functions that would change depending on what we need. For example, if we are listening to music, a mini-player would appear, if we are editing photos, a photographic toolbar would appear, or the fingerprint would appear on the lock screen. to unlock the iPhone.

For example, phone calls would no longer have to interrupt our activity at that time with a full screen notice, but the accept or hang up buttons would appear in that area. That "Function Area" would be the equivalent of the Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro. What about video playback? There if the full screen would be used to be able to see our movies and series occupying the maximum possible area. Obviously this would be an exclusive function of the iPhone 8, and also very interesting.
