Lol Apple copyright Sony's idea to make the power button a fingerprint sensor when Sony already released it on the XPERIA Z5. Well if Sony enabled the fingerprint sensor function in the US I guess it will not be a disappointment. But I am glad my international XPERIA XZ got the fingerprint sensor enabled :)

AnonD-504722, 17 Jul 2017First they remove the headphone jack, now they remove the home button. Whats next? power button?Home button is throwback to the first iPhone. At the time it made perfect sense for the new UI "if you are lost, just press this button". Today, with consumers well versed with mobile touch UIs is no longer necessary.

Why not utilize the apple logo on the back to the fingerprint reader... Would that be such a bad idea?

AnonD-1825, 17 Jul 2017"The Power button patent was filed in Q2 2015"
Apple filled patent two years ago.Half of 2015...
Of course the phone project was ready and tests are already running.
There is a company in north europe who builts the sensor...
So Apple knew it was going to be used...
Patents work out of USA, so Sony is still using..
