Then they will remove silent button, then volume up down, after than power butron too someday. And also the lightning port. And maybe they will remove the screen too. 🤔

The US Patent Office is a joke.

Sony's way is actually the best - its quite natural and you got access if phone face up or down. Kind of late for apple. Still makes me wonder why sony disabled its functionality(and just US too), so elsewhere it's ok for sony, also what about apple?

who the f is controlling all this patent? who gave them the right to accept money and control others not to copy the patent from others? human races is going to an end if everyone is not living in a freedom society with bunches of greeds controlling poor people...

At least two companies (Sony and Apple) with the same idea at the same time. Clearly this does not meet relevant patentability requirements, such as novelty and non-obviousness.

If finger print scanner is included in the power button then it would be difficult/inconvenient to protect your investment with a phone case.
