After spending your entire life savings plus your semester school fees on a brand new iPhone 6 plus, you wake up one morning and notice that your iPhone no longer responds to touch.
According to several reports, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are suffering from a serious disease called the 'touch disease'. The disease starts with a flickering bar that appears at the top of the iPhones’ screens, this bar doesn’t respond to touch. Over time, the bar grows until the whole screen no longer touches again.
This problem has been noticed since the launch of the phones but didn’t manifest until recently because the phones are starting to get old.
The cause of the disease is still unknown, but iFixit claims that the fault comes from the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ logic board, the part of the phone that creates communication between the different elements of the device.
So far, millions of iPhones worldwide could potentially be vulnerable to this disease, yet Apple has refused to acknowledge it as an issue.
In case you notice that your iPhone screen has a blinking bar, you might need to either replace the phone, replace the logic board or replace the Touch ICs on the logic board. Yeah, I’d rather get a new a new phone though to prevent the 'disease' from recurring.
