iPhone 6, 6 Plus, Flashing at Top of Screen, Loss of Touch Functionality: Infected with iPhone Touch Disease

This article from CNN discusses iPhone Touch Disease, with which I found my iPhone 6+ “infected.” Even worse, when I filed a damage claim, the insurance company sent me a refurbished device (don’t recall reading  this in the terms and conditions I nor anybody read – seems implied that it would be a new device) that itself had a worse case of Touch Disease. The replacement phone was so bad, in fact, that it took me 2 hours to get the touch screen to work well enough to get data off of it that I’d then put on it. Glyde buyers and the like considering used iPhone 6 or 6+ models should look to other models. Learn from me.

The good news is that in this article it discusses how owners can have the phones repaired by Apple. If you have insurance, as I did with AT&T, note that you should be able to file a damage claim and receive a replacement device with the payment of some deductible. If you have this problem, make sure it is backed up NOW, as it may be impossible to use the device soon.
