Apple iPhones have a very distinctive feature built-in their OS called AssistiveTouch. Being an Android user you might not be aware of the term “Assistive Touch” but if you happen to be a user of any Apple device be it iPhone, iPad or iPod you must have not only heard it but most probably be using it right now. With AssistiveTouch you can perform different gestures like a pinch, multi-finger swipe, use 3D touch etc. This feature also comes in handy if your home button gets busted, with AssistiveTouch you will have a fully functioning virtual home button.
