Touch Disease: Your iPhone 6 Is Infected, So Why Boasting?

Some iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Phones have been infected with the “Touch Disease.” A very rare phone defect that turns your iPhone screen unresponsive to touch.

Honestly, no one saw this coming as the two iPhone devices are globally respected and very expensive because of their claimed super material design and sophisticated specs.

Had it been it's a China phone that got this defect, it would have spread all over the web because you and I quickly criticizes China phones at any slightest fault found on them.

Now, iPhone 6 is facing this issue upon its high cost. But come to think of it, what is this touch disease and how does it work?

HOW IT WORKS
The disease is a phone screen defect that
starts with a flickering bar that appears at the top of the device screens, this disturbing bar doesn’t respond to a users’ touch. As time goes on, the bar grows until the whole screen is rendered unusable. This problem has been silently rebounding on some iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus since launch but have started manifesting its powers as the phones gets older.

WHAT CAUSES IT?
Unfortunately, the cause of the problem is unknown although, a well know YouTube channel, iFixit claims that the fault lies with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ logic board, which is the segment of the phone that enhances communication between the different elements of the device.

WHAT IS APPLE DOING ABOUT IT?
So sad, Apple has refused to acknowledge it as an issue so far and millions of iPhones are reportedly getting vulnerable to this worrying disease

WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?
The best option for users of this phone is to replace it ASAP. Other alternatives are; replacing the logic board or yea... Replace the Touch ICs on the logic board.

Are you using iPhone 6? Do you have a relation, friend or colleague using it? Have you noticed this disease? Let's know how you have copped with the flickering effect on the screen.
