Does anyone Wish the iPhone had a Back Button?

Tell me about it.i just got the iPad Pro 9.7.im writing this on it now.its the 2nd iPad I've had.the first was the air 2.its annoying.i feel like you.how many presses can that home button take before it stops working? Why wouldn't Apple put a back button? It doesn't make sense.i have plenty of android devices and let me tell you,they all have a back button.hello Apple,are you listening?

iOS is designed so that it doesn't need a home button and I think it works quite well that way. I've had a slew of Apple devices over the past six years, including an iPad 2 that is still running, and have never broken a home button.

Never broken a home button... and like @Devi umm @Rob Phillips said, an iPad 2 still running fine with no issues with that button.
