> Apple's switch away from the physical home button to gestures has created a usability threshold for the iPhone that many can't cross.

Funny you mention home buttons being more usable. I've got mild wrist pain (not RSI levels fortunately), and I find the pressure required to press it disturbingly high, often resorting to using the assitivetouch button instead.

It was better with actual physical button. Current SE has a fake software button that didn't move, only vibrate at certain pressure. It feels more difficult to press even at easiest setting because of the way pressure detection works.
