Can Apple replace a home button on a 6/6+

[Juliegallagher]

Just want to let you all know, I went the Apple Store today, showed them my home button, they said it was fixable by replacing the screen and the home button.

Left them to it, collected it after work, my home button is clicker than it was (it was very very soft beforehand), and there's no looseness whatsoever.

TouchID works as it should. I have my phone, same condition as it was when I left it with them (only fixed), and my phone all set up as it was previously.

Can't fault their service at all.

How much did this cost?

Don't know why a random internet forum would be more believable than the actual Apple Store personnel, but...

Yes, if the home button needs to be replaced, the entire top, including the button, the display, the front-facing camera, are replaced. Been there, done that. Had mine done for a malfunctioning home button, they replaced the entire top. Then had it done again for the front-facing camera issue and got another top with another home button.

No, it doesn't affect TouchID other than that you should probably re-enroll your fingers because of the changed sensor. Whoever said that is an idiot.

What everyone on this page fails to realize is any home button will work but oonce you do an update or restore iPhone you get error 53 or phone becomes locked with connect to iTunes on the screen that's fact! So no the right answer is there is no other button that you can put on your iphone 6 or higher other than original ,without consequence you can never update or reset

I didn't. That's what warranties are for.

Touch ID buttons that apple has are different than OEM buttons bought from other places so it is possible that Apple can replace them and they still work with original hardware.

Iphone replacements are brand new from factory and not refurbished.

Stop. Your information is not correct. They do have refurbs and do use them to replace phones.

Screen and button are all replaced together.
