As of November 1, 2018, over 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold. As of 2022, the iPhone holds a 15.6% share of the global smartphone market, making it one of the two largest smartphone platforms in the world, along with Android. The iPhone is a significant player in the luxury market and has brought in substantial profits for Apple, making it one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies.

Why Is iPhone 7 Home Button Not Working? 

One potential solution for the home button not working on an iPhone 7 is performing a hard reset. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the sleep/wake button and volume down button for about 10 seconds. After the reset is complete, test the home button to see if it's functioning properly.

The home button on an iPhone 7 is a circular button located beneath the screen that takes you back to the home screen when pressed. If the home button isn't working, it could be due to a software or hardware issue. In addition to the hard reset, there are other steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue and determine the root cause.

To potentially resolve the unresponsive home button issue on your iPhone, you can try a soft reset as a first step. Follow these steps to do so:

• Press and hold the Home and Power button simultaneously on your iPhone for about 5 seconds.
• You should see the Apple logo, indicating that your iPhone is restarting.
• Test your home button to see if it's now functioning properly.
• If your home button is still unresponsive and you couldn't perform a soft reset, you can move on to the next step.

How To Fix iPhone 7 Home Button Not Working?

For iPhone 7 users who have a broken home button, Apple has a solution. If the phone doesn't recognize a functional home button, a digital version of the button will be displayed on the screen. These software-based buttons work the same way as the physical home button and come with a notification urging users to have their devices serviced. 

The iPhone 7 is unique in that it doesn't feature a mechanical home button, and it doesn't move at all. Instead, Apple has integrated pressure-sensitive technology underneath the button, which response to force, and then employs the 'taptic engine' that was first introduced on the Apple Watch to mimic feedback by creating an unusual vibrating sensation.

It's worth noting that if you're interested in trying out the software-based home button, you don't necessarily have to wait for Apple's physical faux-button to fail. The digital button, known as Assistive Touch, has actually been available for a long time and can be activated in your phone's settings. The only difference now is that Apple appears to be automatically turning on Assistive Touch when it detects a problem, rather than leaving it up to users who may not have been aware of its existence. To activate Assistive Touch, you can use any of the following methods:

• Navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch and toggle it on.
• Ask Siri to "turn on Assistive Touch."
• Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and toggle on Assistive Touch.

How To Fix The Backup Problem On iPhone 7? 

Numerous individuals have shared that they resolved the issue by resetting their iPhone to its original factory settings, without restoring any previous backups. Here are the steps to do it:

• Connect your iPhone to a computer via iTunes.
• Back up your iPhone.
• Once the backup is done, disconnect your iPhone from the computer.
• Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
• After your iPhone restarts, go through the initial setup process. When prompted, choose the option "Setup as new iPhone."
• After the setup is complete, test your Home button to see if it's working.
• If the Home button is now functional, you can try restoring your iTunes backup and see if the Home button still works. If it stops working again after restoring the backup, you will have to either set up your iPhone as a new device or try restoring an older backup you saved in iTunes.
• If the Home button still isn't working, it confirms that it's a hardware issue, and you should consider repairing or replacing your iPhone, or using it without a Home button.
