Analyst also believes that the Touch ID of the iPhone 7 will be tactile

IPhone 6s Touch ID

It seems that the rumors are reaching us an average of one per day. Today's rumor comes to us from the declarations from an analyst at Cowen and Company, who, citing "sources in the field," assures that Apple will stop using the touch ID we've used since 2013 and instead will use a capacitive onei.e. a home button that will not sag and will be completely flush with the front panel.

The past 15 of June we publish an alleged leak that showed what appeared to be a different iPhone than the previous ones with a start button «drawn» on the front panel, which made us think that to use that supposed start button we would have to do it by placing our finger on it, without sinking it. DigiTimes, who like Cowen and Company has a mixed success rate, also spoke this month about this possibility while ensuring that the iPhone 7 will be waterproof and dust resistant.

The iPhone 7 could have "Force Touch ID"

At the moment, this information is just a rumor, but you are already imagining how what you have called "Force Touch ID" would work for the moment. Most likely it was part of the front panel and it worked using the technology Touch 3D, that is to say, depending on the force with which we press the button, it will perform one action or another, probably up to a maximum of 5 different presses. If you use 3D Touch, there should also be a taptic response to let us know when we have applied the necessary force.

It would be strange to me to see an iPhone with a home button that does not sink in, but it also seems strange to me that no front panel of the device has leaked yet. iPhone 7 beyond the one we published on June 15. In any case, this is a hopeful rumor for all those who do not want to sink the home button hundreds of times a day because, like me, they think that we can end up breaking it. That being said, is it likely that the absence of leakage from this component means that there will indeed be a pressure-sensitive start photon?

    I think the difference will not be as noticeable as it seems. I mean, I suppose it will end up being like the new trackpads, which are also much more comfortable, by the way.
