The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus don’t include a physical Home button like previous version of the device. This means that the screen will need to make contact with an unclothed human finger to be turned on. Wearing gloves in the winter means that this won’t be possible without a little extra hassle. It’s a small problem, but one that could get annoying quick for iPhone 7 owners living in colder climates. Luckily, there are ways around it with the Raise to Wake and Hey Siri features.
