People who own an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are reporting about a new problem their phones have: loss of touchscreen capability. It's called the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus "Touch Disease" and renders an iPhone useless, considering using the touchscreen is the main function of the phone.
In a video from iFixit, a YouTube channel focused on smartphone repairs and hacks, details the problem iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users are encountering. Jessa Jones, a smartphone repair specialist at iPad Rehab in Mendon, NY, speaks in the video about people seeing a flickering gray bar at the top of their iPhone and then no longer being able to use the touchscreen. Jones believes its because the iPhone 6 Plus logic board is no longer protected by a "rigid metal shield"; instead, it's just covered by a "thin film." Jones further believes that the logic board doesn't have "underfill," which "anchors and supports" the Touch IC. She adds that because the iPhone 6 Plus is also prone to bending, the entire phone is left vulnerable to this type of issue.
Apple has responded on forums about this issue, telling users to visit certain articles or to contact Apple about repairing your iPhone.
Watch the full video of the problem below and stop putting your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus in your pocket. Or, you can just wait out any problems, knowing that iPhone 7 is coming out next month.
