They certainly do. My colleagues CrapBerry is always doing things in his pocket, even when it's supposed to be locked (it frequently unlocks itself for no apparent reason other than being a piece of junk).
It would have to be to work as suggested, though I don't really see this clearly in the pictures, not that it couldn't be there. But you can see how I was confused based on Apple Insider's reported assessment:
As with Apple's unibody MacBooks and iPad shells, it appears the iPhone 5's new one piece backplate and sides is milled from a single piece of metal, with integrated "bosses" that provide points to screw down the logic board and other internal components.
As for the home button, I would agree, a rectangular button at this point would be a better way to go than take up all that space. My reason for a smaller touch sensitive button was to remove a major mechanical component from daily use. The concave nature of the button would prevent accidental triggering, and making it smaller would be offset by the fact you don't actually have to depress it as far. Your convex finger only need make contact in the general area.
My motive is selfish, as every iPhone I have had has developed a sticky home button -- that is, it stops reliably responding after a certain amount of time. When they added double-tapping, that really caused problems. My iPhone 4 is the worst. Sometimes I have to place the phone on a table and press with full weight on a finger to get it to respond.

I've been dealing with that for awhile. I've taken mine apart (somewhat) and cleaned it. It seems to work a little.
This is the longest I've own any single phone or iPhone. Because of the release data change up for the iPhone to take over the release time of the dying iPod I am now over 2 years with the same iPhone. I'm not sure I'll do that again. it's just not worth spending a few hundred dollars a year for a new device.
Also, I will be getting AppleCare+. At $100 it helps the resale and if I could have taken my iPhone in and got a fresh one for a $50 cost (assuming that the 2 year coverage wouldn't have got me a new one for free) I would have done that gladly.

Yeah, it works through friction and heat, and may respond if the cloth is thin separating the body and the screen.

Same for me. I usually have to blow the connector to make it more responsive.
Although it is a feature that makes iPhone distinct, I believe it is time for Apple to let it go.
I takes a huge space otherwise would have been taken by the screen and being a mechanical part it breaks often.

Friction and heat have no effect. It's entirely about the thickness of the material separating the conductive surface (your skin) from the touch panel, and the dielectric constant of that material. If heat were involved, how would any human operate an iPhone that's at finger temperature?
Good question...i was thinking the same thing. Maybe it is conducive to better antenna reception for Cell, Radio, or hopefully Satellite radio. Probably not though.

Really need to take better care of your stuff…
How are we suppose to resist that setup?

Me too. Plus it's too prone to scratches...I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me on that.
