Apple offers iPhone 6 Plus repairs for "Touch Disease"Back in August, reports came in of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units suddenly exhibiting problems in touch sensitivity, leading to a practically useless smartphone.Nicknamed the "Touch Disease", this particular problem was attributed to rather poor quality in the soldering of the smartphone's touch controller component.Now three months later, Apple has finally spoken up about the matter and is offering repairs for any iPhone 6 Plus experiencing the issue.And, of course, Apple is placing the blame solely on the user.

That's less than the usual out of warranty repair price of $329, but it's not free, and it does nothing for people who opted to replace their phone instead of fixing it.Some owners have reportedly filed lawsuits against Apple concerning the issue, and it remains to be seen how this will affect their progress.If you've already paid to have an iPhone 6 Plus repaired due to the problem, Apple says it will reimburse the difference between that cost and $149, if you used its service or an authorized technician.While some have reported similar problems with the smaller iPhone 6, there's no indication of a program for owners of that device.

Apple today launched a new repair program for the iPhone 6 Plus , addressing complaints about a manufacturing issue that can cause the iPhone 6 Plus to become unresponsive to touch.According to Apple, some iPhone 6 Plus devices may exhibit Multi-Touch issues after "being dropped multiple times on a hard surface," causing damage to the device.Under its repair program, Apple will fix affected iPhone 6 Plus devices for a service price of $149.Customers who paid more than $149 to have their devices fixed before the repair program was implemented will be able to get their money reimbursed by Apple.Complaints about the iPhone 6 Plus touchscreen issue started in August, after iFixit published a video highlighting the bug and dubbed it " Touch Disease ."Touch Disease presents as a gray flickering bar at the top of the screen and a display that becomes unresponsive or less responsive to touch.The problem is believed to be caused by the touchscreen controller chips soldered to the logic board of the phone, making repairs difficult.Third-party repair outlets speculated that the issue could be linked to the same structural design flaw that caused the major "Bendgate" controversy, and Apple's suggestion that it is caused by repeated physical damage seems to confirm that.Customers who have an iPhone 6 Plus with Multi-Touch issues can visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider or an Apple retail store to see if they qualify for the $149 repair fee.
