…will touch ID still be functional? I still have my old touch ID home button (original. picture 2) that came with the logic board, but I wonder if the home button flex cable (picture 1) is also tied to the motherboard? thanks iphone 6
TL;DR- if I replaced the part in picture 1, while still having the original touch ID button that came with my iPhone, will touch ID still work?
Yes your home button and touch ID will work. The flex that is on the screen back plate is not married to the board.
