"This issue is widespread enough that I feel like almost every iPhone 6/6+ has a touch of it (no pun intended) and are like ticking bombs just waiting to act up," says Jason Villmer, owner of STS Telecom--a board repair shop in Missouri.[...]In both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the Touch IC chips connect to the logic board via an array of itty-bitty solder balls--"like a plate resting on marbles," Jessa explains.Over time, as the phone flexes or twists slightly during normal use, those solder balls crack and start to lose contact with the board."At first, there may be no defect at all.

A bug that breaks iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screens is a "ticking time bomb" poised to affect a growing number of the smartphones, according to repair experts.Nicknamed "Touch Disease", the fault starts with a flickering bar that appears at the top of the devices' screens that doesn't respond to a users' touch.Over time the bar grows until the whole screen is rendered unusable.It is unclear how widespread the problem is, but if it is an inherent manufacturing flaw in the two-year-old Apple phones, as iPhone repair gurus at iFixit suggest, millions of handsets could potentially be vulnerable.

A strange flaw in the design of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has begun to plague a growing number of users, according to a new report that claims third-party repair experts are swamped with requests to fix what the Genius Bar can't.The repair gurus at iFixit say the defect is allegedly more common with the iPhone 6 Plus and causes a gray flickering bar at the top of the display while making the touchscreen completely unresponsive.Many people have allegedly taken their iPhones to Apple to have the "Touch Disease" cured, but were told nothing can be done to fix the problem because the iPhones are already out of warranty.Apple is apparently aware of the problem because its support forums are flooded with complaints.
