Beside the lack of a headphone jack, Apple’s much-ballyhooed iPhone 7 appears to have a downside: it’s home button does not work with most gloves -- even touchscreen-friendly gloves with conductive material on their fingertips.
Like touchscreens, the button requires direct skin touch in order to be activated. However, the touchscreen-friendly gloves that do work on the iPhone 7’s screen do not – according to owners – work on the home button.
