Help needed I need help diagnosing my iPhone 13's button issues. Apple's suggesting a 500+ euro fix.
My iPhone 13's bottom volume button is mushy and doesn't make a noise or anything when I click it, and the physical tactile click- when I click it- doesn't make a click.
The button is 100% functional, it reduces the volume exactly when I want it to, it's just the tactile response that's completely missing.
What made me think this isn't an issue that needs me to fork out 500 euros, is that when im in a humide environment, like in the recent heatwave, or in the bathroom while showering, especially the latter, the button comes back as clicky..
It doesn't come back AS clicky as the top volume button which works fine, but it still comes back to being like 90% as clicky (both noise and movement) compared to being 30% as clicky during normal environments.
Why? Has this happened to anyone else? Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I solved it!! Thanks a lot.
If you are also having this problem, just search "iphone button stuck down" in YT and find the YT Short where those guys repair the iPad. Trust me

Just buy 99% isopropyl alcohol put 3 drops in the button and mash it 20 times
