Comment on Touch Screens Are Over. Even Apple Is Bringing Back Buttons.
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoI got 3 (Volume rocker and power) and it feels like plenty.
It’s been so long since I had more than 3 and I’m curious. I had an iPhone for work, that had a 4th, the home button on the bottom center of the touch screen and I hated that. What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?
I want the power button on my phone to protrude like an actual button so I can actually press it. The thing’s like 4mm wide and I’m supposed to somehow push this thing through the gap in the side of my case with my thumb that’s 5x the width of the button.
As for other buttons, I wouldn’t mind physical buttons for the Android controls at the bottom, but not really a huge deal to me tbh.
Mine has the 2 for volume and 1 for power, as well as a toggle switch to change from silent, vibrate, and sound for the ringer which I quite like.

I would like dedicated back/home/recent keys, like on early Android phones. The back button also functioned as a “disconnect” button for phone calls, which was nice. I still miss it.
