iPhone 7/Plus iPhone 7plus home button cracked

Hi folks. My home button is cracked, still working for now, but I would expect it to break.
Can you replace just the home button. Cheers for any help.

You can replace the home button, but if you do it on your own, you lose the Touch ID function. If you take it to the Apple store and they replace it, then your Touch ID will still work.

Hi shadow. I went to  store today, they tell me I need a new screen which is 170£.

Sadly yes, in order to replace the Touch ID, They also have to replace the screen as they are married to 1.

Oh shoot. No worries. Luckily it’s still working at moment. So I may as well get it done at a later date. Thanks for your help.

Because the Touch ID and dislay are fused together. If you decide to have it repaired, I would only allow Apple to make the repair To avoid any potential issues, which Apple may not warranty otherwise.

It's not really a home "button" anymore. It's all 1 piece. Can't replace the circular region only. Thats like trying to replace half the screen. On older phones, you could replace just the home button.

Technically it's still a separate piece: https://ifixit.org/blog/9020/no-fix-iphone-7-home-button/
