or just use a regular bluetooth keyboard
Xpert_Destroyer 4 Look at the type of thoughts that is coming out of a repair like this probably precisely why Apple is not budging on your position of making their home buttons as secure as it is because this is exactly what starts hacking and all sorts of bad behavior among user with nefarious intentions.
It's too bad companies as huge as Apple need to gouge in this way. The profit margin on the phone was already gigantic.
True enough But I don’t think so they do even care about it but only about making money more and more.
They could make a huge amount of money selling replacement parts for fairly cheap prices
Profit from phones is just a one time profit but from the parts is continuous flow of money 💰

I actually wrote an entire article about this for a journalism project. Apple’s corporate email never forwarded me to anyone, nor did they respond.
I have no idea why I'm watching this
I'll likely never need this information
I don't have an iPhone
I know nothing about hardware

i am watching this becouse its interesting... but i want more android phones becouse #Androiduser4life

Are you me?
Lol you don't even need to know anything about hardware to do what he's doing. It's just some screws and clipping parts together. Requires nothing more than not being a complete idiot to repair a phone screen or battery etc. on an iPhone.

@@friendlyjapanesebusinesswoman lol you're wrong "to" is correct not "too"
TheJulienlauth Hes right.
@@TheJulienlauth no too is correct
@@darksideorbit8898 To is a preposition and a versatile word. You can use it to indicate a goal or a direction of movement, as well as a place of arrival. That’s the way you use it when you say you’re going to class tomorrow. To also plays a role when we want to indicate that a verb is an infinitive.
You’ll often use to when you want to indicate a relationship between words, relationship like possession, attachment, and addition. You get attached to people, you have things that belong to you. To is also used to indicate a range or a period of time, like when you say it will take you five to ten minutes to finish something.
Too is also a useful word, but it’s not a preposition like to, and it doesn’t have as many meanings. You can use it instead of “besides,” “in addition,” “also,” or “as well.” But you can use it for other things, too, like when you want to indicate excessiveness. If you find grammar tough, you can say that it’s too hard. In casual speech, speakers sometimes use too in the sense of “very”

- Wait it's illegal

SHUT THE FUCK UP APPLE
Thank you so much for making this video!! I am going on vacation in a week and wanted a home button to use on my iPhone 7 Plus.... since mine is broken and I just placed a order for one! 😊 Will be here on the 20th.. two days before I leave
Awesome! Hope you like it!
Did it work?
Hi Hugh, the third generation released by the parts distributor I use in the UK is a fully functional home button now, minus Touch ID of course, it isn’t a physical button but it acts as the original with haptic feedback, i’m gonna order one soon and test it out, it looks good!
Apple :
- Refurbished screen? That's counterfeiting.
Crazy branded
@@takauchinishika4701 a man of culture I see
No. The counterfeit if 3d party making an LCD and *PRINTED APPLE LOGO* on the LCD, that's a consider counterfeit
@@thelightbrigadef4172 lol.. it's a joke , apple sued 3rd party repair shops because they used refurbished displays and apple called that counterfeiting.
Hi Hugh ! I subscribed to your channel since last year and you still impress and inspired me to fix many devices like you do. This is a really good job, furthermore with passion !
I've got a question about the Touch ID, can we fix the issue by reprogramming it with your JC Pro1000S, or this is not possible ?
I've been looking for some videos about this process, but all videos I've seen showed that the only way to fix it is by soldering an other part of the Touch ID.
I want to see the full restoration videos of the ipod you got from the abandoned house 2 years ago.☺
With new LCD and Hard Drive .
Huge Jeffrey uses a bluetooth home button.
Meanwhile Apple is going to remove bluetooth in next update.
Honestly if they did that they would lose more profit from AirPods since they would be usless
Apple : We're gonna charge half a kidney for a display/touchID replacement.
China : Hold my dumpling..
Okay, "Hold my dumpling" was funny
Crazy! Love the videos!
That’s incredible!!♥️Amazing job!

Literally, the *EXACT* thing I bought of eBay recently.
Recently my iPhone 7 home button was damaged so I bought one of these to test out how well it performs
Will do a video on it.
judging on the performance in this video, it doesn't look too bad!
Literally bought over 10 phones gonna see if I can revive them and make a whole video on all of them!

Good video! I have done some screen replacements on some 5 and 6 series iPhones. When I transfer the home button to the new screen and screen it in, its always a little loose. Any remedy for this?
For all of you who don’t know if this been out for a couple months he only works via Bluetooth/ but you don’t get the fingerprint scanner just the click ability of the home button
Apple: You can't replace the home button.
Hugh Jeffreys: I'm about to end this whole man's career.
Today I found out the home buttons on 7, 8 etc. weren't replaceable AND saw this video. Great work-around. I'm definitely trying it out. If I can ask, what brand of screen gasket do you use? It looks to be very good quality. I've been using cheapo eBay ones on 6Ses and they seem, well, crap.
I just love this kind of video😂 hahahah nice content love it
Apple: we’ve made the home button NON replaceable!

Don't use the touch id
Thats a very good News! Tks for share....
Nice tutorial mate , i finaly find the issue for that problem , i have open a small store for little time and i am still learning , wery nice , good work , sorry for mi english , is not so good XD
The things that people do to their phones... just wow. I've never even lost a pixel or cracked a screen.
Cory Kamermans accidents happen
The only screen I ever cracked I apparently smashed against my bedside table in my sleep....so yeah
Lost a pixel? That isn't user error.

Ikr, i just slap tempered glass on and I break them instead of the screen. Shattered around 20 tempered glass protectors already
you can find more ''hold my beer'' comments in videos like these than the actual quantity of beer on this planet😨😰😱😵

Hugh Jeffery : hold my beer to fix em
There is now the Afeax home button Version 4, it’s like the original but without Touch ID, but it has the haptic feedback and full function
Imagine someone else pairs to your iPhone home button? You are the king now ;)
Apple is going to cause a lot of litigation making these things illegal. You're right, you shouldn't have to go to these lengths to repair your products.
So if u wanted to connect your to a speaker would your button disable
No, as long as the button isn't read as an audio output you should be able to connect ti a bluetooth speaker and still have the home button paired
Very good video! I like so much!!! From where did you bought the screen?
this was so dope!!!
Hugh after this : *_They called me a madman_*
I'm up too early in this fine morning.
Hugh if the Touch ID fingerprint works but the button doesn’t click does it mean the ic is faulty or something else ?
Hi Hugh, my iPhone 7 has been on a constant boot loop after my home button stopped working. Before I replace the home button/display, will the process in your video erase all of my data? I am just worried about losing my data since I have no backup. I'll appreciate it so much if you reply!!
I think there was a problem with the keyboard in combination with the button wasnt there?
That's what I was thinking, because it acts as a keyboard with one button, what happens when you try and type?
Maybe there's already a replacement keyboard app that suits this hardware lol
Yes you get intermittent keyboard issues even with 3rd party keyboard apps.
Lol then its kinda useless

Thats really dope honestly
Thank you Hugh!
Your channel gave me hope for my ADHD (not actually diagnosed with it, I just feel that he is) addled 12 year old son (he gets into all sorts of mischief).
Your channel made me want to find old discarded phones and buy the replacement parts for them and a set of tools, to see if he could be preoccupied with this trade, alongside his school work. He is alone at home and needs attention. We can only give him so much attention, as we have other children that need attention just as much...
LoLoLoL! I just realised that I was venting 😅 sorry for the headache. And thank you very very much again, for your videos. Please keep up your marvelous work 😉👍
imagine you forgot to turn on bluetooth and people use that home button
Hi Hugh, Thank you for video. As you've got a huge experience, can you advise me please what manufacturer you would advise me for screen replacement on iPhone 8. Or maybe you can share link on amazon or ebay sellers which you usually using. Thank you.
man, great video!
I just jailbreaked my iphone 7 plus, whenever the home button breaks i can change it easily
Hassan Aleid How?
Yeah how
Siddharth Jain no
Also you said companies should be able to not let you repair parts like the home button. But blocking replacements means it’s wayyy harder to hack. It could be possible to hack Touch ID if it could be replaced, putting your data at risk. What should happen though is that Apple should only replace the Touch ID not the whole screen too
You can just force the user to redo their touch ID settings when it's replaced. Easy fix.
What if you hard reset your phone? Wouldn’t the iPhone disconnect from the button? And there is no way to get into the phone to connect to the button, because a working home button is required in order to get past the lock screen. What would you do in that situation?
i have a question
so on my old iPhone 6s plus my brother attempted to fix it by replacing the battery,my power button my charging port and my screen. but when he fixed it my phone wouldn't charge past 3% no matter how long it was on charge and it eventually died and it would just flash the power up screen when it was plugged up. and when we checked battery health it just said "-" what do you think is wrong with it?

*china its free real estate
It just angers me how Apple tries everything they can to stop people from fixing their phones

@@slapahoe69 It's unbelievable tho like they seriously patented and made their own stupid screw head just so people won't be able to open their products
@@PrimyFritzellz ik it's fuckin stupid
How did y’all get the screen off? I can not seem to get the screen off, I’ve tried heat, and still can’t get it off. I even ordered one of those suction cup tools and still no luck. It’s just not budging. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Great video !
As far as I know it's always been replaceable, however you will lose touch ID cos of apples anti repair policy basicly
@@usmansuleman9548 it will work, I talk from experience, I work on a repair shop, If it won't boot means there's a problem identifying the home button tho, without the home button takes far longer for the phone to boot ( I do it test the screen), I replaced few home buttons that got damaged with overly damaged screens. The iPhone 6 tho tends to be the most damaged of them all due to their design
@@usmansuleman9548 im not just being stubborn, from my experience when the button doesn't work might be a damaged lcd which has a flex for the home button or the home button itself, ive replaced some buttons for 7 since it's not as likely for them to break as on the 6, only when the screen breaks in such a way it damages the buttons cable
My apologies, I was researching and tested an iPhone today , for 7 doesn't work I confused it, I apologise my stubbornness, probably too much workload affecting my memory, since it's not common this fault, sorry once again
there’s something strange in the iphone home button who are you gonna call

I have the same problem with my iPhone 8 peel off those 3 dots near the battery connector, how much would you charge me to replace that?
Hugh I have a question I have a iPhone 7 that is water damaged but everything works but the loud speaker and the home button has Touch ID but does not go home and also the rapid engine does not work but I think one of the connectors are not working I also replaced the loudspeaker and the rapid engine but they still don’t work what do I do
