[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1775727, member: 234411"] Well, replacing the 'home button' will disable 'touch ID' - believe that if done by Apple, the ID can be reset, so an option - whether Apple would do a repair on your iPhone vs. a replacement, I'm not sure - you would need to visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store for an opinion and estimate or call them on the phone - some discussion [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/350407/Any+possibility+to+replace+Homebutton+AND+have+Touch+ID+still+working"]HERE[/URL]. Another repair option is a DIY project - checkout this [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+6+Home+Button+Replacement/31935"]iFixit Guide[/URL], if interested (first pic below) - you would need to buy a kit from them to get the device apart; plus, the 'touch ID' would not be functional. Finally, there is a 'software' home button option - see the last two pics (from my iPad Air 2 on iOS 11.03) - [I]Assistive Touch[/I] can be set as the 3-Click option (assuming your 'home button' works for a moment) - following the appropriate number of clicks, a 'Home Button' icon appears on the home screen and can be moved - pressing the screen button brings up the menu shown in the last image - more information [URL="https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iphone/how-fix-broken-iphone-home-button-stopped-working-iphone7-3463402/"]HERE[/URL] - Dave :) .
