iphone5s - clicky, noisy home button

Hi,

Does anyone have the following issue with lock button on new 5s?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5763506?tstart=0

My 5S also has this problem, previous phone i had was iPhone 4 which button was just silent, you pressed it and you could feel the click but any sound, I'm usually working in a quiet environment which makes using my 5S annoying because of "click click click". But when you click on the edge of the button there's almost no click sound but in my oppinion for that amount of money we've spent the button should work just silent when you press it flat with your thumb... And don't have any service options for my country which makes me even more sad, because i can't replace it with a warranty etc. And as I see, I am not the only person that complains about it 😐

Same problem - very annoying - espcially as the phone is so expensive - should be perfect - taking it to the store on sunday - hopefully to be replaced.

Well, to be honest iPhone 5s is a great piece of hardware in my oppinion, been asking friends who also got the 5S, and after few months of use they also have clicks when pressing home button. I just got used to that after whole day of using my phone and i think i'm starting to enjoy it as I should. What about home button is that I'm just pressing it at it's edge so i don't really hear the "click" and that's it. I cannot count on having it replaced because of my country so there's just nothing left but enjoying it the way it is 🙂. And I also hope for the home button to stop clicking after months of use like i had with my iPhone 4 that the mechanism under the button was worn out after two and a half year and became silent. 🙂.

Good luck with your replacement! Make sure to post if it helped.

I purchased my iPhone 5s on Friday and notices right after I left the store that the home button was loud I do realize different material was used but I couldn't stand spending so much money on something that annoyed me. I made an appointment with the Genius Bar and they brought out two different iPhones and they also made the button snap sound. I am debating on swapping mine for the lower version 5c if I cannot get past this frustrating sound. Has anyone else traded their 5s for the 5c and of so are you satisfied with the trade ? Or is the phone obviously slower and not up to par speed wise ? Itself could do without the finger sensor.

For information - and hope it helps.

Replacing a new product with a 'second hand' refurbished product is wrong and unfair - it is also contrary to consumer law in many countries.

In the UK if a product is faulty, the consumer has the legal right to choose either a replacement (not refurbished), a repair or a full (or partial) refund if the product is less than six months old. If the product is older than six months the consumer still has these rights but the burden of proof moves to the consumer.

Please don't be put off by Apple spouting policy as this cannot over ride your statutory rights.

I actually prefer the clicky sound... Lol. I like it.

Maybe it's just me.

Yeah, it's just you!

Hello people. I have the same problem with my Iphone 5s. The home button is noisy and hard. What should I do? Please advice.

I Fixed mine 4 days ago, dipped the cotton bud stick in the nail colour remover liquid and applied the cotton bud stick gently on the ring of the home button. Worked like magic, really and its been 4 days now. No click sound at all, home button feels just like my 4s, soft and smooth! I know its stupid but give it a try guys, worked for me and now im relieved!

I have that when pressing the home button NOT when releasing it ...and while pressing

its feels like you try to press something that has been glued for a long time and it makes a louder ticking noise

i Never dropped my phone or anything like that since i got it...maybe a very light hit on the carpet from a very short distance

but not a serious damage, and i saw that on my phone today at around 8 or 9 AM (egypt time zone)

and yesterday at "Monday 6th, April, 2015" nothing like that came from the button while using it

I hope anyone here lets me know if he/she has the same issue as mine AND/OR tell me why this happens

(NOTE: After pressing hard on the button it works like the first time i got it...only between 2 and 5 mins it sticks and makes the louder noise)
