iPhone 6s Home Button Repair: How To

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.

Tools Needed

Recommended: Magnetic mat, screw capsules

Parts Needed:

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.

iPhone 6s Home Button Replacement Steps

Remove the Screen

    1. Remove the two pentalobe screws on either side of the lightning port on the bottom of the iPhone.
    1. Starting at the bottom edge of the phone, use the metal spudger to pry the screen away from the body.
  1. A flex cable near the top of the phone is connected to the body, so open the screen carefully like a
    notepad.

Undo the Flex Cables

    1. Unscrew the silver rectangular shield near the bottom right of the battery. This shield covers the battery cable, which should be disconnected for practically every repair.
  1. Disconnect display cable flex using a plastic spudger. Plastic spudgers, rather than metal spudgers, should always be used for removing items on the inside of the phone.

Remove the iPhone 6s Home Button

    1. Unscrew the three screws which hold down the home button bracket.
    1. Use a spudger to disconnect the home button connector.
    1. Push up slowly on home button from the front. Use your spudger to assist in loosening the rubber gasket that holds the button on the screen.
  1. That’s it! You have removed the home button on the iPhone 6s.

iPhone 6s Rear Camera Comparison vs. iPhone 6, 5s, 5, 4s, 3gs

For our iPhone 6s Rear Camera Comparison, we took the same photo (of some lovely little friends) with the same lighting from the same distance with several generations of iPhone (the 3gs, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, and the new iPhone 6s). Here’s how they came out – compare the results for yourself. Also, for a rundown of the comparative iPhone camera specs, scroll below the photos.

It is easy to notice the reduced vibrance and sharpness in the 3gs photo. There is a general noticeable increase in image quality as the generations progress, although it should be noted that the 4s, 5 and 5s share the same 8 megapixel camera. The iPhone 6s phone does really shine among the group, which, for me, seems to be most evident in the face of the troll.

Apple iPhone 6s 3D Touch

Apple’s 3D Touch technology will allow the phone to tell the difference between light, medium, and hard taps – which will enable new dimensions to app and OS functionality. For example, within emails you will be able to hard press to preview emails. Addresses texted to you can be previewed by pressing. Then you may continue holding to enter full-screen.

 

Apple Live Photos

The internet has already dubbed the Apple Live Photos feature as “Harry Potter-like”. For those unfamiliar with the books and films, this means that all photos will become… well, moving. They can be tapped to view a 4 second moving video… but it’s not a video or gif? Okay.

Also new is a 12 megapixel iSight camera. Check out the detail and color in the sample below (which is a screenshot from the Apple event, not an actual iphone 6s photo… we know, but you get the picture). There will be a flash on the front camera as well, which will be bumped up to 5 megapixels.
