Home button needs more pressure

My iPhone SE(2022) home button needs more pressure to work than usual. I have to press hard on it to unlock. Only restarting the phone fix the issue(temporarily). It eventually becomes stiff again. I did a reset but it did not fix the issue.

I bought this phone 3 weeks ago. No any drops or damage.


I’m really sorry if my english is bad.

iPhone SE, iOS 16
