Obviously, none of this can be confirmed at this point, and it's okay to be skeptical. Still, for Apple to take this into its own hands wouldn't be that unusual — after all, the company does design its own CPUs already. In fact, some would argue that it makes sense for one of the world's most profitable companies to seek vertical integration. In any case, such a development may prove beneficial in terms of savings in space — no physical button should, hopefully, warrant less bezel, so a larger screen can be fitted without increasing the overall size of the device.
Make it happen, Apple!
