Just saw there is an ifixit home button for 7/7+ that says it works as a replacement but doesn’t have Touch ID. Been a while since we’ve looked at home button replacement because they never worked. The ones sold here claim to function as a home button but won’t work for Touch ID wish is fine. Anyone else have experience with these parts? Are they plug and play or some funky Bluetooth concoction or other Frankenstein deal like all the ones from like a year or so ago? Please advise ASAP. If it works I need it extremely soon for a customer.
They work, but the problem is the button won’t be paired to the secure enclave of the phone which is why you get no TouchID. If you want TouchID, you need to take it to Apple.
