The idea that the iPhone home button breaks easily and quickly reminds me of the "fan death" superstition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death
I had absolutely no idea that so many Chinese, Korean and Brazilian iPhone users don't use the home button.http://www.businessinsider.com/does-iphone-home-button-break-2015-5 …

@flyosity I grew up in Yugoslavia: many people plastic-sealed their remotes for fear of dust breaking them. Tough when goods are precious.

@flyosity A large number of users in India do this too. Almost 7/10 iPhones I’ve seen in the wild do this. - View other replies

@flyosity yeah in Egypt as well this is very common. -
@objective_neo Okay so it's basically every country in the world but America, this is the way people use them. Amazing. -
@flyosity no one does that in Europe either. I think mostly because in Egypt they use phones heavily and damage the home key all the time.

@flyosity At university, all the Asian students did it. I asked a few 'why?' and they wouldn't even have a reason. - View other replies

@flyosity yep, literally every friend I know who has come from China in the recent years all use it. -
@flyosity yup!
especially! The new home ‘button’ should be welcome -
@flyosity Saw it quite often in Australia, but that's because there's a pretty big Asian community there.
