Apple has launched a repair program for the iPhone 6 Plus to fix what has become called touch disease.
The issue, according to a class-action lawsuit filed against Apple, leaves the display unresponsive to finger-touch input. “Apple has determined that some iPhone 6 Plus devices may exhibit display flickering or Multi-Touch issues after being dropped multiple times on a hard surface and then incurring further stress on the device,” said Apple on its web site.
“If your iPhone 6 Plus is exhibiting the symptoms noted above, is in working order, and the screen is not cracked or broken, Apple will repair your device for a service price of $149.”
Owners of the iPhone 6 Plus who’ve already paid for a screen repair to resolve this issue will be refunded the difference between the price they paid for the original service and the new $149 repair amount. Apple’s carrier partners are not participating in this program, so any and all repairs need to go through Apple directly.
