iPhone 6s Extremely hot home button

On my iPhone 6s, went to bed last night with my battery at about 75% and when I woke up in the morning to check the time, the screen was dead and the phone wouldn't respond to anything. I noticed quickly that the home button was extremely hot. I did a reset on the phone (held down home and power for 10 seconds) and the phone came back (battery had dropped to 0%).

I saw this has happened to others. I'm curious if this is something where I should just get the phone replaced, or soldier on. I'm not sure if it's a device defect that would be cured with a new device, or if this is just something that happens to plague the 6s (and maybe the 6 as well).

That's not normal. I've never experienced that before. I'd schedule an appt with a genius and have them check it out.

Definitely have seen this in another forum. Must be some hardware issues they had.
