iPhone 5s home button

skinny90

Hi guys bought a 32gb 5s last November,all in all I'm really happy with it
However the button is becoming more and more annoying with a cracking sound.it feels really cheap and well cracky when I use it.i have the accessibility button on screen since the first week as I noticed the noise then and well I aim to keep the phone whilst I'm on contract so I want to keep the button as "healthy" as I can as I remember there have been issues with other iPhones and home buttons
My question is should I be hearing this crack sound??
At the start it would happen every now and again especially if I hadn't used it In a while and literally would go the second time I hit straight after
However now it's not going away as quickly as it used to.
Anyone else have any issues or like to share there opinion on how to get it resolved!?

Is it that it sounds like its being clicked twice when you just press it once? As if the button is loose? My 5s has the same issue but seems to have stopped before I got a chance to replace it. If the issue comes back again I'm going to send back to Apple.

If you call Apple care they will organise a free repair service for you or provide with a direct replacement delivered to you by courier for €29 plus a hold of the full value of the 5s on your credit card until they receive your old one via a courier.

My 5s 32gb is the same from day 1. I'm guessing its been reengineered due to its predecessors fail rate. It does click, but I like the resounding feel of it. Happy enough here. Great handset. Would be perfect if it was 8mm wider;)

It feels like there's something wobbly on the button from time to time....the funny thing is when I press it a few times at a moment it goes but I leave it for a while the first few will be cracking like there's something wrong
I was just wondering if anyone heard or seen it first hand

Don't wonder. Just contact Apple, they don't bite
