Digital maintenance expert @科技老张 said in the live broadcast:"The 2016-2017 batch of iPhone 7 has a design flaw in the Home button. It is recommended that users who have problems give priority to replacing the entire device. Repairs are no longer cost-effective."At the same time, consumers are reminded to pay attention to the risks of spare parts replacement during third-party repairs.
Apple has not officially issued a statement on this issue, but according to historical cases, models released more than 5 years ago usually no longer provide free maintenance plans. It is recommended that users weigh maintenance options based on the remaining value of the device. If they need to continue using it, they can consider pairing it with a Bluetooth headset to avoid frequent use of physical buttons.
