    The Home button has stopped responding on my iPhone 5S. I read a little, I started calling websites. I learned that replacing the button is around PLN 100, but after that I can forget about Touch ID. As you probably know, everything is related to pairing with the motherboard. I tried to find out if there was any alternative from the service technicians, but they probably didn't know what and how. One seemed to be overwhelmed and told me that replacing the motherboard button was simply unprofitable and that one would have to look for some used sets.

    I believe that there are those here who know the subject more precisely, and I would like to know this situation somehow, so a few questions (of course I'm interested in the iPhone 5S option):
    1. Does Apple not sell parts in the form of Home Button (TouchID) + motherboard?
    2. If it sells, what would the approximate cost be?
    3. Possibly what would be the cost of such a "used" set (I assume that it was gutted from some other iPhone)?

    EDIT
    It is corrected that my first question be clear and obvious
    * 1. Can I buy parts "certified" and recommended by Apple?

    1. You will not buy a new CD from Home.
    2. You can buy used at PLN 250 on the well-known local classifieds portal I saw a long time ago.
    3. If your Home does not work and the reader likes it works properly, go to a good service because it may turn out to be a damaged filter or condenser and the repair will close below PLN 200. best regards

    I realize that Apple does not sell parts. I assume they are thoughtful enough to understand that I mean parts of original origin, so your attention was out of place.

    Well, as you realize, why do you ask in the first post: Does apple sell parts in the form of Home Button + motherboard?
    In your case, the only possibility for Touch ID to work is to buy a used motherboard together with the home button, you have no other option.
