iPhone 5S home button seems loose.

About a day after posting my issue got resolved. Suddenly when I pressed the button it felt like it 'snapped' back into place. I could immediately notice it was back to normal after that. I haven't experienced the issue ever since.

Here's the deal with mine. The ring aroung the home button separates from the front panel when pressed causing an additional clicking noise. If I press just the bottom half of the ring with my fingernail it creates a gap between the ring and the screen. It's only on the bottom half of the ring though. The top half stays where it should. I seriously doubt it should do this. I'll make an appointment with a genius on Friday to see what they say.

This was not the case for me when I had the issue. I'd definitely see a Genius for that. Good luck!

Can someone verify that the ring depresses with the home button on their phone?

Hey, same issues here. The bottom part of the ring is loose.

Can you please let me know, if you get some kind of fix

I live in Vienna and the closest Apple Store to me is 5 hours drive to Munchen

I had the same issue with the first ip5s device...So i went to the apple store and addressed the issue. They replaced it. I had this second one for 2 weeks and now its doing the same annoying sound...The home button is also lose. I've set up an appointment with the genius bar. Hope the replace it.

lets use assistive touch, awesome and i luv it!!

I've been using my 5s for about a month without any problems. since two days I'm having exactly this same issue with the home button and it really annoys me because I used to know how it was before (and definitly how it should be). Also when I shake my 5s I can clearly hear a rattle noise from the homebutton and the noise is not coming from a loose powerbutton because I hold a finger on the powerbutton while shaking it. For that price I'm really disappointed with this issue. It might not affect the use of the phone but it's really annoying and just feels like a bad quality homebutton now. Touch ID function still works for me. I expect good quality for this price and especially from Apple products, so that sounds definitly like something's broken inside the home button to me. Support has been contacted on this issue, I'm hopeful to get it fixed from apple.

Has anyone with the "double-click" problem manage to replace your unit for one without?

I am having the same feeling with my 5s silver

Will getting my unit for this problem fix it? From the different thread that I have come across, the problem exists on all units

same here. and apple would just not admit their fault

My 5S's lock button was rattling straight out of the box, in addition then the screen began to come loose and 'click' all down the right hand side of the screen, very very annoying! At the same time the lock button began to 'ghost click', where it would press itself, even when it would just be sitting on my bedside locker!

It's been away for a week or so now with Applecare (as there are no Apple stores in the Republic of Ireland)...

To add insult, they do not even appear to have fixed the thing... I've checked the status of the repair and they have "not been able to duplicate the issue"...

To say I am beginning to lose my faith with Apple is an understatement...

I have been facing the same problem since one month of use.

I dont wanna replace my 5s as it is brand new piece and new chips inside.

i tried this and it seems to help me with the double clicking sound.

hope it helps you too.
