One difference between the actual Home button on older iPhones and the Home button on the new iPhone 7: if you turn the iPhone 7/Plus off, nothing will happen to the Home button when you push it in. This is different from older phones where even when the phone is off, the button could be pressed. Of course, nothing would happen to the phone in that case, but still it is a way to see if your iPhone 7 is off.
I am teaching a student with neuropathy who has an iPhone 5S. He self-reports that he can feel the home button on my iPhone 7 better than he can on his 5S.
