i own an iphone 5s.
if the home button broke, could you replace it with an iphone 5 one? I never use the fingerprint scanner, so i'd only need a home button that is... a home button.
i love how the previous iphones looked with the "normal" home button, blending it with the rest of the front, and i hate the fingerprint button because it has the metal ring around it. i know it's trivial, but sometimes it bugs me.
it looks like the two home buttons are the same size, so the iphone 5 button would fit.

I'm not sure it would work with the sensor in there. I've also noticed that the 5s home button is bigger. When you put a 5 in a 5s otter box defender the hole in the screen protector is bigger than the old home button.
 
No you can't.

And why in the hell does OP not used Touch ID? Why?


I mean seriously. Why? :confused:
