iPhone 7 owners are going to have a BIG problem when winter comes
REPORTS claim that many users will be unable to use their iPhone 7 as the home button stops working - unless they take this simple step.
iPhone 7 users may soon find that their expensive new smartphone may not work properly in cold weather.
Some users have found that the home button on the new device, which went on sale last week in the UK, will not work if covered up with any kind of material.
This includes any hands that are wearing gloves - meaning that using the device in cold weather could be much less speedy.
The flaw was first spotted by Relay FM co-founder Myke Hurley, who tweeted his find online.
Hurley hypothesised that the issue lies with the Touch ID ring that's responsible for detecting if the button is actually being touched.
He added, "No sensor connection, no click."
Express.co.uk tested the issue with our own iPhone 7, and found it to be true - but many other users have reported the opposite, and were able to unlock their device even with gloves on.
The news may not be too surprising to users who have ever tried to interact with their smartphone whilst wearing gloves, as many touchscreens need direct skin contact to detect when they are pressed.
However, even specialised touchscreen gloves appear to be affected by the new flaw, meaning users will instead have to enter a PIN number to unlock their device.
iOS 10 actually demands a home button press to reach the main screen of the phone, meaning Apple may need to rush out a fix to this issue sooner rather than later.
New iPhone 7 met with excitement around the world
Initial stock of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have sold-out in the UK, United States and China.
US mobile carriers Sprit and T-Mobile said they have received a record number of orders for the new iPhones.
Apple could sell up to 100 million iPhone 7 devices by the end of the year, South Korean analysts have predicted, thanks largely to the global recall of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 device.
