Wouldn't those become failure points? Anything mechanical will not only wear, but will be affected by dust, dirt, sand, dead skin cells, body oils, etc.
It depends on how durable they make the switches. Lightswitches, for example, tend to be durable.
Light switches do not go with hundreds of thousands of people to the beach, the desert, left in hot cars, rained on, sat on, dropped, pressed against sweaty facts, etc.
the smaller something of that type is, the harder to make it durable (I think)
A reasonable assumption.
The Vibrate/Ring switches on the older iPhones seem to hold up though, so maybe something like that?
