Everybody is talking about Apple Inc.’s new iPhone, which is scheduled for release on June 29. Everything seems too good to be true but there is one aspect that could lead to this gadget’s downfall. It stands in exactly what it lacks: a mechanical keyboard. The only button iPhone will have will be one that will lead the user back to the home screen. This move brings back a similar idea Steven P. Jobs had with Mac at some point, that a mouse only needs one button because it would be impossible to push the wrong button.Most cell phones today have this mechanical keyboard and the lack of such a feature was previously analyzed as being a well though design solution. It makes it possible for the iPhone to have a 3.5 inch screen. You can thus watch a movie or open up a world of opportunities previously un-thought of on a cell phone.

The downside to this can be psychological rather than technological. A virtual keyboard will appear on the screen but users will need to use it by pecking with their fingers. This move has been felt by few individuals so far. The simple task of using a mechanical keyboard is an aspect of human interaction and can lead to mistrust in iPhone. On the other hand this gadget will have special software installed that will try to guess the words as you type them and will correct mistakes thanks to a built in dictionary. The downside to using it is that it will take several days to learn the system. Specialists are currently having a huge debate on the subject and there are mixed opinions whether this iPhone gamble will pay out or not.
