Why iPhone home button doesn't work?

Out of the blue today, when I went to check the time on my phone, I realized it wouldn't turn on with the press of my home button… However, I was able to unlock my phone using Touch ID… Why would this happen? Is there any easy way to fix it?

Go to an Apple Store they can help

Your finger print scanner broke, mine did too. They usually don't last more than a year, if that.

  • Power button and home button doesn't work on iPhone 5C? Hi, so a while ago I dropped my phone in water, I took it to a repair shop and they fixed it but when I got it back the power and home button didn't work, I turned on assistive touch so I can use my home button and turn off my phone, now I can't turn it on without using my charger or having someone text me, is there any other way I can turn it on without having to do that?
  • My iPhone home button doesn't work My old iPhone 3G home button doesn't work and the lock button either! I can't jailbreak it because they both don't work a lot of the times, what app can I use to fix this like activator?
  • My iPhone home button doesn't work? I was washing my hands when I accidentally bumped my iphone into the sink. I immediately pulled it out and dried it and put it in a bag of rice to drain. About an hour later I got my phone out of the bag and everything worked. The only thing that didn't was the home button. I have set up AssistiveTouch but it is really annoying to use that when I want to go to the home screen. How do I fix the home screen button without paying Apple or another company a fine to fix it?
