Problems
- IPhone 5 Home button not working.
- Delay in response when Home button is pressed.

- One of the most common reasons for home button issue is that the phone might be water damaged, and this thing can happen even due to a single drop or a little bit of moisture.
- Delay in response issue is normally due to the fact that your phone might be out of space or you might be running a number of heavy apps at the same time, hence the function to delay.
- Dust or dirt particles can also stick under the home button, hence making it stiff or quite harder to press
- For the solution of Home Button Stiffness problem: Keep on pressing home button and clean its surrounding areas in order to remove dust.
- For Slow / delay in response: Restart your phone and check. If that doesn’t work for you then try emptying some space, as too much space consumption also slows down the process of this function.
