Introduction
iPhone 6s Home button repair is moderately challenging. The screen must be removed and several components and cables must be disconnected. Doing this repair will remove functionality of the Touch ID, and I may repeat that.
Keep in mind that a replacement home button will eliminate the ability to use Touch ID.

General Repair Guidelines:
- Always use good lighting – smart device components are small and you’ll need plenty of light to see what you are
doing. - Maintain a clean, organized workspace so you don’t lose or confuse any components.
- Group your screws so you can keep track of where they came from. Most screws can not be interchanged.
