As well as killing off the headphone jack, Apple has also dropped the traditional home button from the new iPhone 7. Instead of a button that physically moves, the new version is static but uses Apple's Taptic Engine to simulate the feeling of being clicked.
This isn't the first time Apple has dropped a mechanical part in favor of a digitized version. The click wheel on the iPod started out as a moving part in 2001, before being replaced the following year with a capacitive version. Eventually, of course, the click wheel was phased out altogether in favor of a single display, and it's possible that the same will happen here. We've already heard rumors that next year's iPhones won't have a home button at all.
