    APPLE Inc plans to transform the way people use its next high-end iPhone by eliminating the concept of a home button and making other adjustments to a flagship device that's becoming almost all screen, according to images of the new device viewed by Bloomberg News and people familiar with the gadget.

    Currently, users click the home button to return to the starting app grid that greets them multiple times a day. They hold it down to talk to the Siri digital assistant. Double click it and they get to multi-tasking - running apps on screens that can be swiped through like a carousel.
