I explained in iPhone 7 Hints Radical Design Improvements of the Next iPhone , about how Apple is planning to make some radical design changes for the 10th anniversary of iPhone next year. Recently, Apple gave another proof that those hints are indeed true. Apple has filed a patent application for a touch screen that acts as a finger print scanner. That means, the home button is no longer necessary. Here is the image of the patent filed: Apple is killing the Home Button one step at a time.

Apple can make its product with maximum efficiency with the combination of software and hardware and here is a very good article on that . Out of minimum resources, Apple makes best use of things. That cuts down the costs, simplifies process and gives a great control over things that can't be imagined in Samsung or Google's scenario. That's why, Google keeps releasing its own phones under various brands like Nexus, Android One and now Pixel. Samsung too isn't letting go of its own Tizen OS. Why? Because that's the best way to produce a gadget - total control over software and hardware. Now, either Google will have to produce its own hardware at the risk of pissing Android device manufacturers or Samsung will have to make its Tizen OS strong. Success of any one of them will finally ma

User just gets what he wants in the minimum time and with best support from the software side. Microsoft needs to just do that with the whole Windows. Let's consider Office's awesome things that is making them popular among users. Why Office is best is because it takes care of the smallest interaction of the user with the software i.e. automatic spell-check, automatic capital first word, automatic bullets and a lot more that I personally don't know. But, I understand that Office tries to make things better at every level of interaction the user has with Office suite. That's also the case of most iProducts and Android software. They are tracking the littlest things and are trying to make them easier, better and deliver a good experience to an average user. Now take a look at Windows.
