In 2007, the Home button was established as the visual and functional signature ofthe original iPhone: round and unique, located at the bottom of the screen, it quickly becamean icon of the brand over the yearsand almost a symbol ofIPhone experience.
The only relatively recent iPhone that keeps the home button are the iPhone SE (2ᵉ and 3rd generations), but the new version of it,that,is about to abandon it.
The last act of an emblem
In 2012, the iPhone 5S transformed this component into a biometric sensor, introducing the Touch ID, which simply unlock the phone by placing your finger on it. Even if he was not the first phone to offer a fingerprint reader,Its technology was much more precisethan other existing solutions. The Motorola Atrix 4G, for example, was already equipped in 2011, but its sensor was not as efficient.
Five years later, the iPhone X was the first model to no longer integrate the physical home button and, therefore, Touch ID,To replace it with the Face ID.
The iPhone SE 4 will therefore join the modern line of iPhone, definitely eraserThe latest vestige of the Apple Touch ID catalog. It will now adopt the codes of current telephones from Apple: Authentication by Face ID and Gesture Navigation. Its release is therefore to stop a technology that will have accompanied millions of users for more than a decade.
When the SE 4 will arrive in stores at the end of February, it will mean that Applewill never sell a phone again with the Home button and Touch ID. The company turns resolutely to a more modern technology, even for the cheapest of its smartphones: a wayto standardize its offer and rationalize its productionWhile offering a more homogeneous user experience. Whether it's spending 1,400 euros for aiPhone 16 Pro Maxor around 600 euros for the SE 4.
- With the launch of the iPhone 4 SE, Apple definitively eliminates the Touch ID and adopts the Face ID on its entire range.
- The SE 4 will offer 100 % gesture navigation, like all modern iPhones.
- By removing these old technologies, Apple homogenized its catalog and simplifies its production.
