reason I still use my IphoneSE version 1. still has the actual button on the front face. Hoping they release another model in the next 3-4 years with an actual front-facing button

I don’t quite follow - what is the reason? That you wish there was a haptic home button? iPhones never had haptic buttons on the front face - only real physical press buttons.

That’s not true. Starting with iPhone 7 the front home button is haptic solid state. It feels better than the old one and breaks less.

For this reason, I’m totally fine with them doing the same for volume buttons. Also feels great on the AirPod pros

I am embarrassed - thanks for the gentle correction.

I jumped straight from an iPhone 6S to an iPhone XS, so I never got those... whoops!

It does not feel better to me.

iPhones had haptics home buttons from iPhone 7 and up, so if you’ve used even an old iPhone at this point it wasn’t a “real” button. Same as the MacBook trackpads, people can’t tell the difference.

I have an iPhone 6 and a SE (2020) and I can tell the difference. The SE feels like my Mac's (2020) touchpad.

Wow - I had no idea! Thanks for posting the correction.
