Hi all,
Just today, my 6.5-month-old iPhone 4S started having some weird behavior with the home button.
The home button makes a clicking sound when I lightly press it (while not actually pressing it fully), and also feels loose and kinda "sticky." It only does this when I let the phone sit for a while.
I saw this post at the Apple Support forums that describes exactly what I've been experiencing: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3894412?start=0&tstart=0#
I've heard conflicting opinions: some that this is normal and some that it's not.
The phone is obviously still within warranty. I could get it replaced, but I've heard that replacement phones can be even worse when it comes to the home button.
I am willing to either swap it out at the Genius Bar or just try to suck it up and keep using the phone as is. This home button quirk is a little annoying, but the iPhone itself is still perfectly functional and usable - I couldn't be happier with it.
What do you all think?
Thanks!
