power button sticking

The power button on my iPhone 12 mini keeps sticking. It is still responsive but doesn’t make the normal ‘click’ like the volume buttons and is difficult to push with the case on. I’ve tried rubbing it with an alcohol wipe and that will fix it for a bit but it will go back to sticking within the hour. I purchased the phone just over a month ago and ran into this problem yesterday.

Hello,

If it works OK without the case, then the case is the culprit. I have a silicone case on my phone and I have to press really hard for the power button to work.

Good luck.
