Apple, help us save the Power Key & Home Key?
The iPhone has only 5 physical keys and the most used among them are the Power Button and the Home Button and it is very common to wear them off over time and to get them fixed by Apple. Why doesn't Apple give us features that will reduce the usage of these two keys?
Apple could have a new feature for the iPhones like double tap home button to light up the screen or triple tap the display to show the lock screen. That would reduce the usage of Power Button drastically.
As far as Home Buttons are concerned, Apple could give us the gesture controls, like in iPad, to iPhones, especially the iPhone 6 Plus and help us preserve our Home Button. Gestures like 5 fingers pinch to return to the home screen, 4 fingers sideways swipe to switch between open apps, 4 fingers upward swipe to bring the multitasking screen etc. would really help in reducing the Home Button usage.
I had issues with the Power Button and Home Button in my previous iPhones and had to get them replaced. So wondering, some new features would really help in reducing the wear and tear of the most used physical buttons of our phones.
Your comments are appreciated on my opinion.
