How To: Replace the Home Button in your iPhone 5s

You've been using assistive touch too long and you're finally ready to repair that home button. Good! Today, I'm going to walk you through replacing the home button on your iPhone 5s. **Please note that only the phone's original home button assembly will be capable of using the Touch ID functionality. Installing a new home button will only restore ordinary home button functions, not the Touch ID features.**

I have an iPhone 5 and do not like the style of the button and was wondering if I could buy one of these replacement 5s buttons with a flex cable to replace it, if I take it into Apple will they be willing to do it for me?

My iPhone 5s touch ID button has been broken. now where can i find to replace the touch ID button, not only Home button. i want it to work :(

Show how to replace the new ribbon! Because sometimes the touch ID don't work, and don't have all stickers glued. You must take it from old to new.
