Here’s what happens when the iPhone 7 home button dies. One of the newest features built into the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is a touch-sensitive Home button with a taptic engine.
But what happens if it fails? The device displays an error message and a virtual home button to use instead of the actual one. This feature was discovered by MacRumors forum member “iwayne”

This doesn’t change the fact that the original home button no longer works and the phone needs to be replaced.
