It could allow the bezel to be removed entirely, without compromising the user experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Capacitive sensing alone is unable to deliver that realistic home button experience and is also prone to false triggering.<\/p>\n<p>Combining capacitive and force sensing eliminates false triggering and also supports new design paradigms such as the finger print sensor becoming the power button.
