That’s such a bad interface on the side. Nothing is tactile. Touch something on the left side without looking, by feel alone, and you might get loudness, might get lights.
iPhone has added the new camera action button with the 16. With a light touch (while active) it has a menu pop up and with a harder press, it has haptic feedback. As you put your finger over where the buttons are, there could be a little pop up on the side, and then a press would be haptic. They’ve already started experimenting with having the black bar on the side of the screen indent slightly when any side button is pressed.
they could add haptic feedback, like they did on the samsung s8, where the home button felt more physical, because u hav to press with pressure and it vibrate when u do. it feels surprisingly comfy and reasonably real. but yes, normal buttons WAY better. <3
I guess it would be an improvement, but it wouldn’t really solve the problem of knowing what you’re pressing.
I guess maybe you could have some light vibration with touch and trigger it with a harder press, but it really feels like we’re putting way more effort into just making worse buttons. I don’t see the tradeoffs being worth it without a lot of investment from both the phone maker and app makers

Surprise disco.

It took me longer than it should have to realize the home button on my iPhone 7 wasn’t a real button.

Exactly. This is also why having controls in your car be strictly touch screen is dangerous.
