Ironic that you find that the frequently actuated button is the prime source of failure but refuse to adopt the newer models that require no button actuation, no?
- zxcvbn4038 5y agoThe home button wasn’t removed until iPhone X, prior to that your only option was to replace the phone with another or subsequent model with the same button. I assume the whole reason Apple removed the button was because the economics of replacing the main board over a two cent button didn’t work out - even when the people bought warranties. (Applecare) It was successful, I’ve not had a unit failed because I kept pressing on the same part of the screen all day for years. Knock on wood.
- windowsrookie 5y agoApple removed the "button" with the iPhone 6 in 2014. The "button" became capacitive and I haven't heard of any those failing. So they haven't had failure-prone button for 8 years now. Also in your previous comment you stated it required a completely new main board to fix but that is false. It did require complete disassembly, but the button was replaceable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVH-uNDiipA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVH-uNDiipA
