How do you activate an iPhone with broken home button iOS 10 My iPhone 5s had recently been cleaned of all files and data, including iCloud so I need to activate it. It prompts me to press the home button to activate but the home button on my iPhone doesn't work. Is there a way I can activate this phone without pressing the home button?
You need to activate the accessibility function, Voice Over, on your phone. 


Connect your iPhone, to a computer with iTunes installed. 
In iTunes, select your device. 
From the Summary pane, click Configure
Accessibility in the Options section at the bottom. 
Select the Voice Over and click OK.
Double tap on the Press home to
    open text.


Once you’re pass the activation, you can disable Voice Over. More details on the fix.
