iPhone 6s home button makes an annoying click noise

OMG what a terrible annoying sound when I click the homebutton on my new iPhone 6s something my 4s never did.

It's like on plastic that I click.

Is this normal?

Can something be done about it?

Your 4s did not have touch id so the button is different, in time you will get used to it, its pretty normal, lots of people noticed this when the 5s came out. Just be glad your phone works fine and don't fret over a button 'click'

Thank you for the info.

- just one reply on your saying : 'just be glad your phone works fine'

When costumers pay 900$ for a phone they may expect it to work fine!

especially if it's an Apple, if they stand for high price / high quality than they better deliver! ;-)

Apple fan's already experience enough software trouble... if the hardware starts failing now then Steve will turn in his grave.

Don't assume just because its made by Apple or costs lots of money its built any better than the myriad of other phones available, after all they are all mass produced, not hand crafted lovingly by one person and built to order. Enjoy your new phone though, the 6s is a great handset.

I had the same exact problem then I found this youtube video.. I thought the guy was nuts but I tried it anyway and it's been over a week and my home button still works like new.. Here is what he did.. 1. take a alcohol swab and clean the button really good ( I pressed the button down while I did this. ) 2. although I did this I'm not sure it it's necessary.. If you have a protective case on your phone turn it upside down and tap in on a counter for 20 seconds 3. turn it back over use the swab one more time then with a soft cloth dry it off.. Your home button should now be working like new. Like I said it worked for me.
