It has been now found that the iPhone 8 would be coming with a virtual Home button that can resize on its own according to the different tasks on the phone.
According to Steven Troughton-Smith who unearthed several features of IPhone 8 through HomePod firmware, the “periphery” area of the user interface of the iPhone 8 can expand/minimize and show/hide the virtual Home button on its iPhone 8 on its own. Under the periphery area will be the tab bars. When a user plays a video in full-screen mode, the Home button controls will hide automatically.
