I have an iPhone 6s that has been factory reset, then set up using a backup. Once reset, the phone displays a message saying 'press home to open' which I can't do as the phone's home button does not work. I do not have any spare buttons to replace it with. Is there a way to set the phone up without it? Thanks is advance
Earlier iPhone models
Sorry, but the answer is no.
Take the phone in to the Apple Store or an authorized Apple service shop to see if they can repair or replace the Home button.
You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link: Find Locations
Please note that because your iPhone 6s was discontinued more than 6 years ago that parts......if they are required for repairs......may not still be available for this model.
Solution: By shorting the connector for the home button using some metal, I tricked the phone into registering a press of the home button, allowing me to continue the setup process. Then enabling AssistiveTouch means that the missign home button is not an issue
Unable to set up iPhone - no home button
