I took my iPhone 7 in for a battery replacement at the Apple Store 2 days ago and ever since the home button has been incredibly sensitive to the slightest touch and the engine goes mad if I hold the button. Ive tried adjusting the setting in accessibility and home button menues but neither have any effect. Im taking it back to the Apple Store in a few days, is there anything else I can try before then and if not, should Apple cover the repair costs?
I’d guess they tightened the screw on the home button too loosely/tightly, although I’d have to see the phone to be sure. In any event, if it wasn’t that sensitive before and it became that oversensitive after the battery replacement, then they should absolutely be footing the repair costs (if any) for the home button. (Though based on the way they usually do things, you might have to fight them a bit on it to get them to cover it).
they have damaged the flex on the homebutton when opening the phone. They need to replace the homebutton.
Hmmm they managed to remove the home button to replace the battery. Uhhh the battery is not undernwither the home button. Glad the apple techs removed sht just cause what hll why not. Rather then removing what’s needed to be the most efficient. Ohh and so they don’t increase the variables of something else going wrong where the untrained idiots start poking around. Gotta love even OEM repairs, somehow they still manage to f*ck it up. And even worse the touch I’d of the home button is tied to hardware on the mobo. So if u replace it the mobo goes as well. Increasing the costs quite a bit, what a disappointment on apples part. Best of luck.
