Anyone notice their home buttons are loud and clicky? I'm coming from a 5, which has a plastic non-touch Id button, so maybe this is the difference for me, but it definitely noticeable.
 
I checked some phones at the Apple Store. All seemed to be pretty loud--some clicks louder than others. What do other people see/hear?
 
been louder/crunchier since the 5S and introduction of TouchID. normal behavior.
 
The home button on my 6 has a nice snuck, snuck sound and feel. Like its spring loaded. Nicer than my previous 3 5s's and my previous 5 to that.
 
I notice that some presses there is one click and other pressed there are two clicks. Anyone else?
 
I've never experienced 2 clicks. Just a louder click.and a slightly wobbly button. I think its Touch ID. But my friends 5s wasn't as loud a click or as wobbly. I dunno though. It still works fine. And if it breaks.. My applecare+ has me covered.
 
I had 4 5s' replaced in one year due to this. When you can hear it crunch WITHOUT actually engaging/pressing the button take it to an Apple Store and ask them to compare to new one. It simply shouldn't do that.
 
been that way since touch Id was introduced. Its working as intended.
 
I had the same problem on my iPhone 6. The home button had a loud clicking sound. Very annoying!! So I went to the Apple Store yesterday and gave me a new one no questions asked. The replacement is so much quieter.
 
I got mine swapped out today. Still has an occasional second click. I guess this is a new feature.
 
Mine started out perfect but now I notice a very very slight crunch about 5% of the time..button still works just fine. I would go swap it out but I'm afraid I'm just going to get another bad one or one with a yellow tinted screen this time..or maybe lines going down the screen..or maybe a clickly clacky screen...what to do what to do...
 
Home buttons can and will vary. Some are louder than others, even on the same model. My 6 is near silent but has a great tactile feedback. My 5S had a sharp click to it.

No, it's not. If it were normal behavior it would do it on all phones, from first use.

Exactly! Had my 6 Plus swapped out yesterday for a faulty display and before it had a soft click but after getting the display fixed it is loud basically 100% of the time...I'm getting tire of replacements/fixes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Mine has a louder click and is snappier than the ones on my iPads, but I prefer this. It seems more secure to me.
