home button

I have an iPhone 8+ running iOS 13.5.1. Sometimes the little vibrate you get when you press the home button doesn't work, but the home button still works. is this a software bug or a hardware issue?

Hi, I just bought the new iPhone SE 2020 and I am really happy with it. I came from an iPhone XS and before that I owned an iPhone 7. I encountered the home button making a high pitched sound when pressing the home button (see youtube link). I know it could be a spring sound coming from the...

Replaced several iPhone 7 & 7plus screens, home button will not function at all! They all worked before I changed them. Even tried a new home button, still have to use assistive touch. What am I doing wrong? Richard

I have an iPhone 11 waiting for pickup but I'm really on the fence about getting rid of my iPhone 7. I love the idea of a better camera and all the latest tech... but lately it seems that Apple is trying to drive the train forward while adding "features" that people aren't hungry for. (face ID...

How long do you guys think the iPhone 8 will be supported,updated and running fast? Do you think Apple will try to stop supporting it earlier to phase out the home button completely? Maybe IOS 15 or 16? I was debating between the 8 and XS but I want the 8 to last for awhile. (future proof) I...

I'll mention that I went from iOS 10 to 12 and with iOS10 I've never once had a reachability issue when double tapping the home button (iPhone 7) However, half a day with iOS12 and it's already happened 20 times, very annoying. What gives? Anyone else getting this? I like to use the...

Okay, so I recently got into the world of repairing modern smartphones, and so far I've replaced the battery, wifi antenna (upper) and the flex antenna below the logic board, as well as just recently replacing the LCD screen, to which I swapped my original Home Button into the new LCD assembly...

The home button of my iPad Mini 4 still works, but it's not "clicking" properly anymore. I fear that this might lead to the button not functioning at all anymore in the future; that I will not be able to press it down at all, as if it's completely stuck. Does anyone know how to fix an issue...

I'm so confused. For whatever reason, my iPod Touch's home button has recently of become unresponsive. I keep it in a lifeproof case and take great care of it. I've dealt with shot power buttons before but, have never experienced a home button break. Its really weird I can still press down on...

So let's cut to the chase: yes, Apple could have compensated for the Notch, either by hardware design or using software. But after years of slamming Samsung for copying from Apple's design, do you think Apple was going to walk into the crap storm Samsung would throw at them for copying their...

As an android user for many years, I always kind of looked down at the physical home button on the iPhone. Just seemed clunky and outdated compared to virtual controls. However, since getting the iPhone SE, I've really come to appreciate it. The home button does a lot of different things, from...

With the iPhone 6S and 7's 3D touch to enable multi-tasking, is a home button whether software or hardware even needed? With the current "rumor" that Apple is having difficulties embedding the home button under the screen, or having it placed on the back. I decided to embark in the no home...

I run a repair shop. I have worked on 2 iPhone 7's. Each time the original home button will not work on the replacement screen, HOWEVER, if I put the original button back on the original "broken" screen the home button begins to work again. Some how the phone is recognizing that a replacement...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same problem as I am. My iPhone 6s Rose Gold 64gb has recently developed a loud, crunchy home button. This happens mostly if you press the button in the middle with the tip of your finger or on the right side. However if you cover the...

Please help. I have an iPad Air 2 that was provided to me from my high school. We take them home everyday and charge them. Somehow my iPad was kicked/fell off of my bed while charging and the home button is jammed down and the charger port looks sunk. I'm currently on winter break so there's...

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anyone had this issue before: Last night my iPhone got dropped into a glass of water. It's an iPhone 7. After I removed it, the home button wasn't working. It would scan my finger print but any "pressing" on the button wouldn't do anything. It seems the touch and...

This is just a theory of mine. Since the Home button takes up too much space and Apple prefers keeping symmetry between the top and bottom of the iPhone.... what if they added a Touch Bar at the bottom of the phone that took up considerably less space and also included a built in Touch ID sensor...

Hi, yesterday my iPhone home button started to randomly stop working but Touch ID did, tried a-lot of things to fix and 1 of them was a ludicrous and stupid idea of "pressing the home button and twisting" I was so tired and frustrated of trying to make it work that I gave up and did it. and then...

Hello, maybe someone have the same bug as me (or only me) After xx time (for example 2 weeks) my home button have kind of lag, only when I'm trying to unlock my phone. My phone is locked (screen is black) I'm pressing home button - nothing, after 2 seconds my screen is turning on (with home...

I took my phone off the charger this morning just to see that no vibration worked, yes, including 3D Touch or Home button, I did a restart, then I did a home button restart and still nothing. Anyone has the same issue or a solution?
