A photo has surface on the web showing Wintek manufacturing iPhone 5 touchscreens and having an elongated home button.
You may ask, how do we know these are Wintek workers? Well, someone replied to the original tweet on Sina Microblog, saying that this pic should be taken in the Wintek’s touchscreen plant. We believe that, since Foxconn will not ever leak a pic like this. We are not 100% sure this pic is taken in Wintek, but at least we can tell you that it’s not from Foxconn. Anyway, it looks like the next iPhone will be very interesting… Just imagine — gesture home button.
The photo was posted on Sina Microblog the Chinese twitter-like service. Previous rumors showed case diagrams of the iPhone 5 shows an ovaloid home button.
This elongated home button could be used for gestures. But we’re still not very sure of this photo, It could just be a circular home button with a sticker on it.
