That means you can
make an appointment at the Genius Bar in your nearest Apple Store to have Apple repair your Home button for free
. Unfortunately, most iPhones with a physical Home button are more than a year old. But you can still pay for a repair from Apple or a third-party service provider.
If your iPhone 7 home button breaks or needs to be replaced, it will only work if it is recalibrated at an official Apple store. If you don't have AppleCare+ or aren't under warranty, the repair will cost
$319 for an iPhone 7 and $349 for an iPhone 7 Plus
.
Plug a USB cable into your iPhone. Then, gently push down on the 30-pin connector, so that it pushes up behind the home button. While you apply the pressure, click the home button. Remove the cable, and see if that fixed the problem.
iPhone users might be in despair when their iPhone home button touch ID gets into trouble or even doesn't work after replaced home button. Why?
For iPhone 6 and later versions, touch ID is bonded with CPU, and the user who has replaced his home button will then lose its touch ID fingerprint function
.
General wear and tear (and gunk)
In some cases, and especially where iPhones are used in dusty or dirty environments, the Home button can become less sensitive to touch. Don't assume this is what's going on if your Home button works intermittently (some of the time)—software problems cause this too.
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Accessibility.
- Tap Touch.
- Toggle on Reachability.
- Swipe down on the home bar or bottom center of the screen to activate Reachability.

How much does it cost to replace Touch ID?
There's a reason why Apple wants you to pay
between $269 and $329
to replace your home button, and it's security. When Apple introduced its Touch ID sensor for the iPhone 5s, the company needed to reassure its customers. Your fingerprints don't get uploaded to Apple's servers.

If your iPhone issue is covered by the Apple warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law, there's no charge
. This does not include accidental damage, which requires a fee.
