Verizon iPhone has better home button?

I was messing with a friends Verizon iPhone 4S and noticed (compared to my AT&T 4S) pressing the home button seems to be more responsive. When exiting an app I basically rocket back to the home screen.
Thoughts?

I doubt the responsiveness of the home button has anything to do with the wireless carrier, but I have no proof to the contrary.

It could be a phone that hasn't been used and abused, my wife's iphone button always feels more clicky and responsive... She doesnt use the iphone as much as I do

clickyness has to do with use not the carrier

I'm pretty sure responsiveness of the home button has nothing to do with the carrier. Normal wear and tear.

INormal wear and tear.

^ This. I have played with many of Verizon's iPhones that were purchased around the same time I got mine, and for the most part all of the home buttons felt like my AT&T iPhone.

Between the gsm and cdma models they are made differently because of the radios

Nothing to see here... it’s simply a matter of usage and wear/tear. The iPhone design is the iPhone design. Beyond the radio itself, there’s no difference between CDMA and GSM iPhones.

Most iPhone 4 users if you were to ask. have worn their home button out, or start to have issues with it... I have seen this recently before their upgrades... It comes with usage. No other tech specs make up the answer...

My daughter is still using my old iPhone 4 that I got on launch, so far there are no issues with it. **keeps fingers crossed**

You do have the ability to go tho settings>accessibility and there are Home Button settings that you might look at to make your home button more responsive.
