iphone 6 plus screen flickering

I have had this problem with My 6 plus 2 times and had it replaced under warranty.

This is going to be the third time this glitch happens.(Not covered under warranty)

After this might reconsider brand.

My wife has the 6 and no problems.

Maybe just something with the 6 plus

Just a quick update on the issue of "Flickering" on the screen.

Since my iPhone 6plus is out of warranty and Apple have not taken responsibility after so many complains globally about it, I have managed to diagnose the issue and isolate it to the Touchscreen Controller and the Touchscreen Line Driver on the Main Board.

I bought a damage phone and replaced the 2 ICs and now, it works fine. I wouldn't recommend that you do it yourself unless you have the right tools for it.

I'm also experiencing the same issue with my iPhone Plus 128 GB. This is the third phone I have had with this issue! I'm on my second replacement phone. The screen went bad on the first replacement phone within 5 days. I didn't even get a chance to activate the second replacement phone before I noticed the screen was bad. While I was at the Apple Store dealing with this for the second time, the only other guy waiting to speak to an apple tech was having the exact same issue with his phone! He was on his second replacement. He had it for less than a month. This is totally unacceptable!

I Had same problem, finally took off screen protector and now it's fine. My screen protector was high quality and was made out of glass.

Same problem for me. iPhone 6 plus, 128GB, that started with the flickering and unresponsive screen.

I went to the genius bar and the Agent said:

- "Yes, many customers have had this use already".

- "Yes, Apple knows about the issue because, as I said, you're not the only one"

In the end, as my phone is out of warranty, the option they offer is to buy a replacement (same iPhone 6 plus) for not less than $325 USD. The worst part of this whole issue is that they ended up by saying:

"We don't recommend buying the replacement of you're current phone considering that iPhone 6 plus hardware may be affected again..." They recommended to by an iPhone 6s plus which don't have the issue so far (more than $800USD retail price).

Why apple won't start the recall program if they do know there's an issue with multiple iPhone 6 plus devices!? So disappointing they don't care about their customers.

My iPhone 6+ does the same thing. Going to make an appointment but I'm sure they'll say it's out of warranty and to buy a new phone. With Apple stocks dropping, might not hurt to send an email to Tim Cook.

I bought my iPhone 6 plus in 2013 so it's out of warranty. However the 'genius' told me they would replace it under consumer rights.

Unfortunately, the replacement device has exactly the same problem..! Even during the backup restore wizard I had the flickering.

I'm currently on the phone with support to get it sorted...

FYI: I was just told that a phone under 50 days old will be replaced by a new phone, else you will probably get a reconditioned phone as replacement.

I wanted to chime in here as well.

My iphone 6 plus started flickering - top band and then the screen would be unresponsive to touches. There were ways to get it to work by twisting the phone etc.

I called up apple support pretty upset as the phone was almost unuseable. I was out of warranty. They did do a one time courtesy so my recommendation is to call and be persistent.

at the apple store the genius knew of this issue and knew the tricks (bending the phone) to get the phone to work.

Now get this. My replacement iphone as i was waiting for it to update instore also failed. the screen went nuts! flashing and it even had a weird bleached streak at the top. So that replacement was replaced.

Not sure what's going on with apple's QC process but having owned all previous generations this is the worst designed iphone.

Good luck everyone.

Same issue! This is the video that is similar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37kEMEmA5jo

I periodically have to "press the screen" near the top speaker, so it makes me think it's a connection issue

This sounds like a bad batch.

I'm also out of warranty and this sounds like we do need a class action otherwise Apple will not care

EDIT: To add a few more details, I've done a factory reset already which seemed to helped for 30 minutes. Then back to the intermittent issue before I found the "workaround"

Also experiencing this.

Hi everyone,

I have a iPhone 6 Plus with screen jitters

I called Verizon they would replace iPhone

could not wait, went to Verizon store explained my issue

they replaced my iPhone early upgrade authorized

by manager. My upgrade was in august.

replaced with iPhone 6 Plus s

dont take no for an answer

did not want to deal with Apple

I came to this forum with the exact same problem. Phone freezing and won't unlock and then when it does it shakes and opens and closes apps randomly. called my provider and out of warranty, was about to do a software update and then read that a screen protector can play havoc with the sensors on the front. Once i removed my own protector, bang, everything working fine again. Whilst sadly this may not be the solution to everyone's faulots on this forum it may be for a few of you so I thought I'd share. Good luck

Are you going to follow through on this because it seems a lot of people are having similar problems? I would like to join in and help. Currently experiencing the same issue and the same problems with Apple Support.

I had the same problem too. Removed the screen protector and it still was not fixed so I took it to my local Apple Store. They told me it is a KNOWN hardware problem that Apple is refusing to address and that as the consumer I did nothing wrong to cause this but will have to pay hundreds to fix Apple's quality problems. I think some sort of class action is necessary as iPhones continue to age and more and more people will be experiencing this problem after the first year of ownership. Especially if Apple has told their stores this is a KNOWN quality problem they are refusing to take ownership of or recall. I've never felt so conned in my life, as I'm sure many of you are feeling.
