New iPhone SE 2020 home button

Hi, I’ve just bought a new iPhone SE 2020, the home button feels a but different to my iPhone 6, a bit like a click when I touch it, I can’t hear it but I feel it. Anyone else got the same experience please?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

The home button on the iPhone 7, 8, 8 plus and SE is a haptic sensor rather than an actual physical mechanical button, so to emulate the click back it uses something called haptic feedback.


You can set the feedback strength in Settings->General->Home button to something more comfortable, but yes, it will still feel different to the actual physical button with travel older iPhones have.
