Paving the way for the next generation, the HOME button is the best update of iPhone 7
|
The iPhone has been on the market for a while now, and those who were quick to grab the first batch of new phones have already used the new devices. The new device's camera, waterproof performance and even its shell color have become hot topics for new users. Another new feature is rarely mentioned by users, perhaps because it is too easy to use and does not make users feel uncomfortable or have other problems, so its "presence" is so low. It is the new generation of home screen button on iPhone 7. In order to further improve the waterproof performance of the device in iPhone 7, Apple not only cancelled the 3.5mm headphone jack, but also redesigned the most iconic Home button of iPhone. Apple cancelled the physical button that has been easily damaged and expensive to repair for many years, and replaced it with a new capacitive Home button. The new Home button integrates the "Taptic Engine", so that when you press the Home button, the Home button will give you physical feedback - it is also pressure-sensitive, so it can distinguish whether the user wants to press the Home button or just want to tap it lightly. Seeing this, you may worry that if you use the iPhone intensively every day, the 3D Touch requires a lot of operations. Adding a pressure-sensitive Home button, your fingers will hurt. In fact, it won't hurt. Therefore, you can set the intensity of the pressure yourself. Open "Settings-General-Home Button", you will see 1, 2, and 3 intensities, 1 is the lightest, and 3 is the strongest. Many netizens said that 1 is the most comfortable. Some netizens with obsessive-compulsive disorder also tried the intensity of 1 after seeing this suggestion, and found that it was indeed very comfortable. Of course, you can still choose the intensity according to your own habits in the end, without considering other people's suggestions. The weather is getting colder and colder. Some friends who "think long-term" should now want to know whether they can operate this new Home button in winter when wearing ordinary gloves. Unfortunately, it can't. The Home button of iPhone 7 needs to recognize direct contact with the skin to work, otherwise there will be no feedback. Some netizens in the forum have tried it, and they can't trigger this Home button even with a thin layer of napkin. But it should be the same as the iPhone's touch screen, and it should support the operation and control of special gloves with built-in conductive materials. How the new Home button is evaluated In the new machine experience meeting after the release of iPhone 7, many people who have experienced the new Home button said that they did not feel very good. Since the first release of iPhone, the Home button has always been a very important human-computer interaction tool. It can be said that users who have been using iPhone should have developed muscle memory because of the operation of the Home button, so it is normal to be uncomfortable for a while. Now the earliest users who got iPhone 7 should have used this Home button a long time ago, so what do they think of it after using it for such a period of time? We know that the learning cost will directly affect the acceptance and popularity of a new feature and new function among users. The lower the user's learning cost, the easier it is to promote and popularize the product, saving user time and improving user acceptance of the product. Is the learning cost of this new Home button very high? As mentioned above, perhaps because the Home button of the new iPhone does not cause too much trouble to users, there are only a few discussions about this new Home button on the Weiphone forum. In several posts we were able to find about the iPhone 7 Home button, we saw that the vast majority of users gave positive reviews of the new Home button: - "I got used to it in two days, light use." - "I think this is the most worthwhile upgrade." - "It's easy to press, easier than the previous generation because it's very light." - "I personally feel very comfortable, especially the slight feedback, very technological." - "The most amazing thing about the iPhone 7 is the modification of the home button, it feels great." - "I'm used to it, it's better than the physical button." - "I got used to it in ten minutes, don't let me touch those backward mechanical structures again, it's so comfortable." - "I personally think it's better than the mechanical ones." - "It's more useful than I thought." From the above reviews, it can be seen that at least for now, this new feature does not make users feel that it takes too much time to adapt, and Apple has indeed made good optimizations. Although the old linear actuator is most suitable for mobile phone vibration, the Taptic Engine is more delicate and can provide better feedback for related operations, so users not only do not feel unfamiliar when using it, but also happily accept the new experience it brings. Repair of the new Home button Regarding the repair of the new Home button, professional disassembly organization iFixit previously stated that compared with the mechanical buttons used in previous iPhones, this new button is more reliable. And it can be disassembled, so the repair difficulty should not be more difficult than imagined. Moreover, a non-physical button will also improve the overall reliability of the iPhone 7 and reduce the need to replace parts. But if you have "practiced the diamond finger" and can use this new Home button to failure, some netizens also said that "I asked the store staff about this problem on the day I picked up the goods, and he said that there will be a technician to professionally inspect it to see if the conclusion given is a hardware problem or an external reason," and then a specific repair plan will be given. In addition, the protective glass used on the iPhone 7 Home button is actually sapphire, so its durability and scratch resistance will be stronger, and the protection performance will be stronger, so users can rest assured that there will be no problems under normal circumstances. The impact of Taptic Engine The Taptic Engine is used in hardware, from Apple Watch to MacBook series notebooks, and then to iPhone. Especially on this year's iPhone 7, in addition to inheriting the 3D Touch pressure-sensitive screen of the iPhone 6s, it also serves the new Home button. In iOS 10, the Taptic Engine vibrates when you scroll down menus, ringtones, and settings. Apple has also opened up the corresponding API, allowing developers to call the Taptic Engine in their apps. This will become an important human-computer interaction feature of the iOS system in the future. Although the experience of some apps that support the Taptic Engine is not that good, as developers become more familiar with this technology, third parties will use it more and the experience will be better.
