This is a simple tip that make your iPhone last longer. We tend to use the home button too often, which can be damaged in the long run. An average user taps on the home button at least 50-70 times a day. Scary, right? The button will wear away too soon, sooner than the battery, even. You could replace the battery, but I’m not sure if the home button can be replaced.

The solution is to minimize the use of the home button. To wake the iPhone out from standby sleep mode, do not use the home button at all. Use the top button instead; this will reduce wear and tear on your home button and the response is faster too if you press the top button.

This simple tip will minimize 50% of pressing the home button everyday. Try it out.
