The Russians Used a Pencil: The New Home Button on the iPhone 5 (Allegedly)

russianpencil:

I was suspicious of the mocked-up design of the new iPhone 5 as seen on This Is My Next back in April, but recent rumors are making it hard to ignore. While several of the design changes are somewhat expected (thinner body, tapered edges, etc.), the new home button is utterly fascinating.

I believe that if this new gesture region is in fact coming to the iPhone, it will be used for only one thing: switching between open apps.

This.

A multi-finger swipe has become the standard for switching between apps (via iPad and Lion), but there’s not enough room on the iPhone screen.
