ExclusiveExclusive AppleInsider research points to about 11 percent of an Apple Store's daily iPhone service traffic to be related to the so-called "touch disease" problem, eclipsing all other individual issues dealt with by retail personnel on a day-to-day basis."It's about time that the Apple press got a whiff of the problem," one retail source told AppleInsider.Location of the touch controller chips - photo courtesy iFixitData from four high-traffic Apple stores was obtained over a period of six days — three days before the initial reports of touch controllers failing on the iPhone 6 family, and the three days since.Some 2014 iPhone 6 and 6 Plus develop a small grey flickering band at the top of the screen always just below the phone speaker regardless of device orientation.The clearly abnormal band can be sporadic, may respond to torquing or pressing on the device.The band will sometimes extend further down the screen over time, coupled with touch sensitivity and device response to the touch getting progressively worse.Colloquially called "touch disease," the issue appears to stem from failure of the chips that translate the user's touch to information the iPhone can use.
