Rumor: Apple removing home button off iOS devices
Richard Gilmour
Just yesterday, Apple released the iOS 4.3 beta for developers, and one of the key features introduced was the new touch gestures. But as you can see in the images above, perhaps this new iOS feature is a prelude as to what iPad 2 may actually end up looking — sans a Home button.
With such gestures you can now close and switch applications without the need of using the home button; navigating through your device has never been easier. And with rumors going around that Apple employees are testing out this buttonless devices at the Apple facilities, there’s a possibility that this change may apply to not just the iPad, but all future iPhone and iPod Touch generations.
