Across North America, iPhone owners have become increasingly disgruntled by the device's spotty touchscreen functionality.The first sign of "touch disease" is a flickering gray bar that appears across the top of the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus screen.Over time, the touchscreen loses functionality.Some reports suggest that the issue is caused by dropping the phone on the ground or "bendgate"— the 6 Plus tends to bend if a user sits down with it in their pocket—but there are also many reported cases where there are no signs of physical damage.
