Home button parts for the next generation iPhone have reportedly surfaced online, reports MacRumors.
The parts can be found on TVC-Mall and TrueSupplier and come in both black and white. The button is still round in shape but its base is now a rounded rectangle as opposed to a circle.
It appears that rumors of Apple removing the home button entirely or replacing it with a touch-senstive button with a larger gesture area are once again unfounded. Such rumors have become common in the months leading up to the launch of each new iOS device, but Apple has maintained the contestant iconic presence of the home button introduced on the original iPhone through each new product release.

Wonder if we're gonna have a 65 inch display for an iPhone?

Eh? There is nothing evident about that being a 'trackpad type' button. What on earth are you talking about?

That confirms that the screen build will be very much like the iPhone 4S where the button is glued to the screen. And the actual home button will. E on the frame. I'm very sure the. We iPhone 5 will resemble the iPod touch 4th just a bit thicker. Yuck

Hope this is some third party home button. Next gen iPhone should get rid of the home button. It's redundant!
