    My iPhone home button has been sticking recently and I have tried all the tricks to free it up, nothing worked.
    Now, last night Touch ID stopped working all of a sudden, tried a factory reset and Touch ID still doesn't work. I'm assuming that the sensor has had it. Anyone ever come across this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Haven't heard of it but it does sound like a hardware failure. Is your phone on contract or bought from Apple?

    Unresponsive Touch Screen on iPhone 6s

    Hi There,

    Have an iPhone 6 where the screen has now become Non responsive after completing the latest upgrade,

    Have tried all the usual scenario hard/Soft reset and Factory reset etc.and also spoke in depth with Apple support

    It is now out of warranty can i ask what do repair centres charge to run a diagnostics/Repair if required.

    Hey I repair them in Kinsale, you may be lucky and it might just be loose concoction or dirt, wouldn't charge you anything to have a look, still spreading the word. if the button does need replacing however you will lose the touch id as the home buttons are paired to the specific logic board.
