There are lots of rumors that the iPhone 16 (or maybe 17) will lose
some or all of its physical buttons, to be replaced with capacitive
touch buttons instead. Assuming the rumours turn out to be true (and
likely on the high end model first), you'll probably see Samsung make
fun of how silly the idea is ... only to of course then copy it six
months later on their own new phone models.

Personally I hate touch buttons. Physical buttons are far far better.
Even car makers who had used touch buttons on their infotainment
devices and steering wheels controls have realised they're crap and are
moving back to physical ones instead.

If Apple does it then it will be the best thing since sliced bread and will

 Do you have something material to contribute, Troll?
 

I personally prefer physical buttons for some purposes.  The iPhone 14 and earlier mute switch is something I can actuate in which way I wish even in the dark or in a pocket and can also, by touch, know which position it is in.  Very useful.  Does this make me an "Arlen"?
