Thats what the ones with physical buttons do have.

Not viable with a touch screen tho.

SO DONT HAVE JUST A TOUCH SCREEEN

NOT A VIABLE WAY TO DO A SMARTPHONE.

Makes more sense to swipe an icon on the touch screen.

No, It makes no more sense than tapping a button, or an icon, or
shaking the thing volently and throwing it against the wall

All the mobile interfaces are obscure. I bought a (very non-smart) phone
in 2003 and had to go back into the shop to ask how to turn it on. You
press *and hold* the red "hang up" button. Who would think of that?
(There was a 1/0 power symbol on the button but it was *very* tiny.)

There is no such thing as an 'intuitive' user interface to anything.

Its all convention.
But smart phones are probably te worst piece of tech to surface yet
