Ironic, isn’t it? when the iPhone first came the most different thing about it was that it had a very few buttons. they were telling stories about how Steve Jobs wanted to remove all the buttons. Now we have more and more buttons.


the iphone apple makes today and the iphone steve jobs made are very different. No one can say what jobs would do nowadays ofc, but i believe he adhered to strict guideline like make it hold in one hand and simplify everything -> less buttons, less settings.

I bet he is rolling in his grave when he sees this new icon color theming thing or what they did with the control center where there is now 5 different page of settings.


The original iPhone had four buttons: home, power, up and down volume.

The iPhone 16 Pro has four buttons: power, up, down, camera.

Plus a switch for mute. Both models.


mute switch got replaced with action button back at iphone 15
