Many months before the official launch of the new iPhone 5, here we are the first component of the future device. The Home button of the terminal appeared on the Internet and those who discovered it claim that it presents a slight change compared to the one in the current terminals. More precisely, they refer to the part behind the round structure, the part that should be visible to users, but I think that this will not happen considering that Apple has no reason to do this.
The new home buttons appear to have a rounded square shape much like iOS app icons, but retain the round depression for the button as seen in existing devices. TVC-Mall notes the distinction in its product description:
Different from iPhone 4S 4, the iPhone 5 home button is round in the center and square outside as the pictures show. The two parts are indivisible.
Although the button is whole and that part does not seem to be modifiable, there is always a chance that Apple will cut it during the manufacturing process and leave only the round button. Of course, this component could be for another terminal and not for the iPhone, but for now it seems that Apple will not give up the Home button in the future iPhone terminal, although some speculated that this would happen. Below is the Home button of the iPhone 4S and you can make a comparison between the two components.
