Apple Will Fix 'Touch Disease' on Your iPhone for Just $150
Apple now has a repair program in place to address the so-called "Touch Disease" problem that the iPhone repair community first raised in August.Over time, some iPhone 6 Plus users reported that the touchscreen on the phones became unresponsive, with a flickering gray bar eventually showing up at the top of the screen.Dubbed Touch Disease by the repair vendor iFixit, the repair was relatively simple, but it required opening up the phone and soldering the two chips that cover the touch responsiveness on the iPhone.Apple Stores and Certified Apple Repair techs didn't have the equipment for a fix, which led many users paying for more expensive logic board replacements.
