IPhone 5 home botton came loose/fell out?

Yesterday I was playing about with my phone and when I pressed on the home button it literally stuck to my finger and pulled off, now it comes off whenever I touch it! I've had it for just over a year and I've dropped it at most twice In that year but it was months ago so it hadn't had any damaged since. Can I go to he apple store to get the button replaced or should I just replace the full phone?

Go to the apple store and see what they will do

Well you dropped it twice so its probably related, stuff doesn't just fall off. If your contract is up, then I would trade it in and upgrade to a newer version as they take trade-ins even if damaged, so at least you get something back for it and thats just minor anyways.
Its actually cheap to upgrade that way and you get a new one. Thats better then putting money into fixing an older (or broken) version.

It's part of the digitizer front plate, it can be replaced but it requires diss assembly to do it.

  • Would the apple store be able to quickly fix a slightly loose iphone home button? I recently bought an iphone and the home button has the slightest give that really irritates me. I want it to be perfectly screwed in so that when you press the button it is nice and seamless. If i brought it in to the apple store would they immediately take care of this minor issue?
