United States President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure over the lack of home button on the new iPhone models. Trump, in a tweet meant for Apple CEO Tim Cook, said that the home button on iPhone was better than the current 'swife' feature.

Apple removed physical home button in 2017

In 2017, Apple had decided to ditch the physical home button that took users back to the home screen. The 2017-edition of iPhone X became the first model shift from the physical home button and introduced swipe controls. The latest control features allow users to use various gestures by swiping across the screen.

Warned to use Samsung

After Apple came up with a larger screen for the iPhones, Trump claimed that it was because of him the company had to bend. “I’ll bet if I didn’t harass Apple for the last 2 years about the large screen iPhone, they wouldn’t have done it - but it bends & breaks!” he tweeted. In 2016, he had also warned Apple that if they won’t give information on terrorists, he will ditch the iPhone and will use only his Samsung phone until they do so.
