A.) buy a new home button as well?

B.) will I lose my touch id function even if i keep the home button?

If you tore this cable, you are okay with the touch id

But if you tore this cable, then you will need to buy a replacement button and you will lose touch ID but home button function will work

Great! I tore the flex cable up at the top, like the first image you've shown. I'll just be crossing my fingers until my flex cable gets here :)
