My iPhone 6s home button is really hot and the device won't turn on

It happened to me too and I'm waiting for the resolution from Apple about this issue.

Yesterday night, while inserting my Iphone 6s to the Lightning dock, I encountered the problem.

I noticed the home button was slowly getting hot and looked up for any remedy. The hard reset worked.

I upgraded to ios 9.2 and hopefully the problem will not return.

Thank You You Really Helped Me!

this happened to me a few minutes after new years to take pics and screen was off and hot home button and phone was running 9.2 ios

Happened to me and I got my 6s weekend after thanksgiving and it's running os 9.2, so I doubt getting a new phone will permanently fix the problem...

This exact thing just happened to me.

This happened to me this morning too and the suggested fix worked. I wonder if this has to do with the iCloud backup in the middle if the night while on the charger? Just a thought...

Very helpful thanks! I panicked!

I had this problem today after having my iPhone 6s 128g in my purse, with about 80% battery, not charging. Running iOS 9.2 with Samsung chip. while I am greatf that there was a temporary fix, this seems to be a problem that I hope Apple will fix.

I had the same experience.

- Charged phone before sleeping

- Woke-up with black screen

- Plugged and unplugged to make sure

- Still in black screen and home button is really hot!

- Did the hard restart as mentioned on forums

I'm currently on IOs 9.0. But I think that OS is not the issue here since I see similar occurrence with phone's having the latest IOs version. Same with phones left charging overnight or no charging at all and chipsets used if it's Samsung or any other brand. All instances still having the same black screen and very hot home button.

I got in late at the office because my alarm did not work. Very frustrating. Plus seeing that there are tons of users having the same issue, made me think to just get it replaced. Though still no assurance of getting it fixed. I guess I have to go to my line service provider to file for a replacement since I did not get the phone directly from Apple Store.

Looking forward to wasting more time in talking to customer service people, tech reps, etc. Painful!...

Any suggestions?

OMG this just saved my life, i was connected to my laptop taking some pictures off my phone, i turned my laptop off got my phone/ 6s/ 64g and the home button too was sizziling hot. Left it without connection and went to sleep. I got up, it was still the same.... thanxx to these posts, I'm alive again... Taking it to an apple store for a checkup.. I had to take my beautiful glitter sticker skin, just to make sure it recieved plenty air for it to cool down, guess i have to buy a new one!!!

I am so relieved this happened to other people and not just me. I've had my 6s for a week now and this just happened to me today. I waited a few hours as I was in a long meeting and finally the battery plug in screen came on. I've had every single iphone that has come out and never had this happen. Hopefully this is something an update will fix. Mine was on 54% battery life when it happened. But it was completely drained when it came back on.

This just happened again to me last night, with the replacement iPhone 6s Plus I was given a few weeks ago when it happened the first time! At this point, I just do not trust leaving my phone on the charger overnight, as this is the second time it caused me to wake up late for work. I really wish Apple would knowledge and address this issue, as this is exceptionally frustrating.

Thanks this happened to me just now, fix worked well.

it also INSTANTLY fixed the HOT button issue!!!!
