Re: iPhone SE.

[Daniel MacDonald]

I have an iPhone SE Second Generation. it does have a home button, but it is not phisical like the iPhone 6S and earlier. it is a round button, however, when the phone is powered off, there is no press, like the 6S and earlier. the phisical home buttons can ware out, and I’m not sure if Apple makes replacement parts for such old hardware, iPhone 6S and earlier.  On Aug 13, 2022, at 9:49 AM, bentleyj1...@gmail.com wrote:  If I am understanding this correct, there is the newist third gen SE, then, the second Gen, and the very old first Generation.  Only the old phone has a phisical home button which can eventually allow water inside the phone or wear out.   The newer phones have a haptic feel that mimicks the press of a spring loaded button but it is not a mechanical button at all.   Someone let us know if I am incorrect.  It wouldn’t be the first time.   Regards,   James B    From: 'Crayton Benner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2022 7:30 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone SE.   I thought that the second generation had the physical home button. Maybe not? I could be wrong about that.  Kind regards, Crayton Benner On Aug 13, 2022, at 07:17, bentleyj1...@gmail.com wrote:   The home button on the SE second and third generation can’t wear out or allow water in to the phone.  They are not mechanical buttons.  No moving parts.   Regards,   James B     From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Michael Feir Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2022 5:18 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone SE.   Apple had some good reasons for abandonning the home button. They ware out over time. Also, not having a home button improves water resistance. One way to feel the results of the gestures which replace the home button for VoiceOver usders is to go into VoiceOver audio settings and set the haptics to a higher percent. This makes those indicator bumps easier to feel. Personally, even without taking that step, I've never had a problem feeling the bumps even when I can't hear the sounds. I don't miss the home button at all.   On Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 2:25 AM Curtis Delzer <cur...@calweb.com> wrote: I hear it has a home button, my friend will get his tomorrow, should I  tell him it handles finger prints like the older models do? In many ways  I still wish I had a home button. I believe it a serious error of Apple  not to include home buttons in their later models of the iPhone. I  contend it makes it harder to use, not easier; every try and hear that  little sound or feel it while any background noise is happening? Or, can  you enter the home button via voice command instead of that back press  work around action? --  Curtis Delzer H.S.
