Help repairing iPhone 7 home button

Repairs at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or an authorized Apple service shop would be expensive.....if the shop would agree to handle the service.

The iPhone is classified as "Vintage", meaning that some repairs are possible and some are not.

It is much more likely that they would not recommend repairs and you should replace the phone, because the money would be much better spent on a new iPhone.

I'm not recommending them, but if you want to attempt this yourself, there are numerous "iFixit" type articles on the Internet about how to "Replace the Home button on an iPhone 7". Touch ID will no longer work though, if you need that feature.

You could take the phone to Apple, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and ask them what it would cost to repair the phone.

It may turn out that the cost of repair is more than you want to sink into such an old phone. The iPhone 7 is a ten-year-old model that cannot update past iOS 15. Many apps are starting to require something higher than that, so it may be time to replace the phone with a newer one, anyway.

Please see this Apple article on parts/service for older Apple products:

All iPhone 7 models are listed as "vintage." You may have to find an independent service provider who can scrounge parts.

Hey guys I have some updates on the problem

1. I believe the home button‘s ribbon cable is loose
2. The charging port does not let me use headphones. I can use other things but not headphones. I don’t wanna waste money on AirPods or something like that because they may not work with my phone.
3. I’m still surprised things is fully functional. It feels like it’s immortal.

I can't I don't have the time or money to buy a new one because I'm stuck in collage

Then, you have three options.

Pay Apple to repair the phone......if repairs are possible.

Pay an independent "iFixit" type shop to try to repair the Home button

Try repairs yourself. Before you think about doing this, you will need special tools for this. My opinion.....If you have never taken an iPhone apart.......this is not the time to risk ruining your iPhone.

It's your call. Nothing more that we can do to help at this point.

Good luck.
