i think my home button is starting to discolor on my phone i just got the phone 2 weeks ago have any of you guys experienced the same problem.
 
My Mom got a white iPhone 4 in August 2011, the button has not discoloured. Since it has been only two weeks, I am sure apple will replace it.

Cool beans. A good cleaning is just what the doctor ordered.
 
I've had my White iPhone 4S since a week after launch date and I do not have any indication of discoloration of my home button. Sure it will get oily from time to time but I clean them once a day.;)
 
Never had a problem - But yea, like other people said, a good cleaning would probably do it!

I mean, you could replace the home button, but that's a mess! Have to take the entire phone apart for that.

Good luck w/ the clean!
