iOS 4.3 suggests removal of the home button on the next iPad and iPhone


Apple's design of their products have been consistent, if not the same, over the course of time. You know what I mean right? How do you distinguish the iPhone, the iPod Touch, and the iPad for this matter from other devices of the same category? Well, one thing is their black, and they have that iconic home button up front. Do you think it's time for Apple to move forward and change a bit of the design?




BGR just got information about the iOS 4.3 Beta codes that have been released to developers recently. BGR notes that the new OS will have additional multi gesture controls on the device it will be running on, prominently the iPhone and the iPad. The new gesture controls hints that the next iteration of Apple's iPad and the iPhone will be a homebutton-less device. Which basically means that those new multi gesture controls woll replace most if not all of the homebutton's job in navigating the OS.
"That’s not all, however. In addition to the home button disappearing from the iPad, we’re told that this change will make its way over to the iPhone as well. Our source said Apple employees are already testing iPads and iPhones with no home buttons on the Apple campus, and it’s possible we will see this new change materialize with the next-generation iPad and iPhone devices set to launch this year." - BGR
