Hi, dear Ifixit technicist. I found a strange case this morning. One website showed the iPhone 6 replacement home button flex can also be used for iPhone 6 plus. Is it real? the sizes are different between iPhone 6 and plus, their home butthon can be common to use? It is really strange. Have a look, http://www.hytparts.com/005154-oem-repla… Not only this parts, there is another parts as same as it about home button cables.
This is crap information. iPhone 6 home button cannot be replaced. You lose Touch ID immediately and the phone bricks when trying to reinstall iOS.
The iPhone home button can be replaced, but will lose Touch ID after replacement whether it’s iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. If you do not need the Touch ID any more, the iPhone 6 home button can be used on iPhone 6 plus.
Home button for iPhone 6 suitable for iPhone 6 Plus Of course the fingerprint will not work, clicking Yes will work fine. also home button for the iPhone 6S suitable for the iPhone 6S Plus, only clik. If you switch between iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s clicking will not work
You got a lot of poor answers here. And some just unnecessarily blunt. But judging by your questions wording I think you probably meant the home button flex cable? You refer to Phone size… The plain answer is no. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus home button flex cables are of different length and so the cable for the 6 cannot be used on a 6 plus. Other than having extra cable folded inside your 6 I don’t see any reason that the cable for the 6 plus cannot be used. This part itself does not affect the functionality of the touch ID. As for the home button itself. What they say is true. Although the button and it’s assembly can be interchanged between these devices, once replaced you will lose all functionality of Touch ID. I don’t know about this bricking problem after updating. I’ve never run into it and I do this replacement all the time.
does you mean the iphone 6 or plus Home Button Assembly Replacement, here is the guide iPhone 6 Plus Home Button Assembly Replacement
Just a thought; could the button be replaced and if and when it is necessary to update the software just open the phone, unplug the button, update and put the phone back together.
could you please provide relevant information according to question … many thanks
The home buttons are interchangeable between Iphone 6 and 6 plus, but touch ID will only work with the button that comes with the phone. If it’s replaced with another OEM button, Apple can reprogram the button for touch ID. There will be no phone bricking if you replace the home button. I have done about 500 of these just this year alone.
