Update software



You know that you can update your iPhone/iPod regulary. But while you're doing that, some problems can occur. For example people who updated their iPhone noticed that the home button didn't work anymore and ofcourse they didn't know what the problem was. But it was probably caused by the update, because there was a software problem. A lot of people got this problem when they had IOS 4. But they don't know the causes yet. But don't worry, because now the updates are better and more advanced.

Always be careful, because an iPhone is very sensitive for water. When water gets in contact with the iPhone or iPod, it's possible that he won't work anymore. The image beneath shows a very sensitive spot. When water enters this spot, you'll probably have problems with your home button.

If you have this problem, just make sure that you'll try to dry this spot and if he doesn't work after a couple of days, then he is probably broken. So be careful and watch out.
