My iPhone 6 launches apps by itself!

My new iPhone 6 launches application by itself! Have also had it highlight text within the Note app (that IT opened, not me!) and search the Internet for garbled text. It is either possessed or someone is playing a cruel joke on me! Anyone else experiencing this issue??

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

I have the same problem. My iPhone 6 (which i paid full price for) has been acting randomly for a couple months. The symptoms comes and goes but the screen would twitch, open random apps, start typing gibberish, and i have to lock it or force it to restart (and sometimes even that doesnt work). At the same time, my touch screen would become completely unresponsive. Apple wont do anything until i pay $$$ for it. This is a manufacturer's defect that they refuse to fix. I wonder if there is a legal option for the matter.

I have the same problem. My iPhone 6S launches programs by itself. And when I am in email or web browser it will jump around by itself. This began happening just after it went off warranty. i HATE MY IpHONE 6s. I will not buy another iPhone. I have had better experience with cheap Chinese phones. Apparently this is a produced defect that Apple refuses to fix.
