Meet Your Atlantis Technician
Every home button restoration is completed by an atlantis technician with over 15 years of experience repairing Apple devices. In the iPhone 5 series, the home button mechanism is a delicate modular component that interacts with the logic board. Our workshop has replaced thousands of these buttons, ensuring the tactile "click" is restored to factory standards. We utilise professional anti-static tools and grade-A components to ensure every repair is durable. For other technical issues with these models, explore our full range of iPhone 5, 5S & SE repairs.
