Iphone XS power button feels mushy

Gombel

Im not 100% sure this is the right forum to post in.

 

I bought the Iphone XS 2 days ago now, and i've realized that the power button feels 'mushy' (not clicky), the respond from he button is very low. I can't really tell if Im pressing the button unless I look at the screen at the same time. Compared to the volume up/down buttons, it's very mushy. It kind of annoys me since its a brand new phone.

I've seen youtube videos about stuck iphone buttons, but nothing really seems to work. Although i need to say that the button functions as it should, but the button response is very weak.

Have you guys experience the same with this phone?

And if I choose to refund it /warranty it, would it be sent to reparation, or would i get a brand new one?

Thanks in advice!

Go to an Apple store and compare yours with one on display. If they feel the same then it's probably common. If they feel different then return it and either get another XS or something different. Apple probably won't give you a new phone over a single button if they don't have to.

You should call an Apple store and see if they can replace that side button. It's not a complicated repair and they should be able to do it if you don't want to do it yourself. The hard part of doing it yourself would be sourcing a replacement button assembly.
