iPhone 7 detects broken home button


Apple has integrated an emergency function in iOS 10 if the electronic home button of the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 Plus breaks down. This allows the smartphone to continue to be used.

The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus do not have a mechanical home button anymore, but a sensor surface and a vibration motor that simulates the haptic feel. If this button is defective, Apple has integrated a solution that not only checks, but also bridges the function.

If the home button is broken, iOS warns the user with a screen message as a user has determined. This warning is translated as follows: "The Home button may have to be repaired. In the meantime, you can use the Home screen button."

This is an icon, which Apple shows in the lower part of the screen of the touch screen. It takes over the function of the sensor surface until the repair, with the exception of the fingerprint scanner. Unlocking the user must unlock his smartphone with his lock code.

Even in previous iOS versions, there was an assistance function, which allowed the user to use a graphical alternative instead of the home button on the display. However, the function now discovered is not identical.


Apple introduced the electronic home button on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to seal the device better against dust and water. In addition, the home button was one of the elements that often happened in the past. Should the electronic home button prove to be more resistant, future generations of the iPad will be equipped with it.
