iphone 6 plus screen flickering

Same issue here. Former, proud owner of a iPhone 6plus 128g. I hate this thing now after spending big money on it.

It started to flicker just 2 weeks after the warranty ended. Apple support helped me thru a couple different factory resets which were very difficult due to the screen being none responsive most of the time. I find a bit of pressure on the top left corner gives me a few moments of the phone working. My phone has spent it's entire life in an expensive Otter Box - no drops or water damage. I planned on having the phone for at least 2 years given how much it cost me.

I refuse to spend anymore money on Apple until this is resolved. I'll buy a cheap Android before I double-down on a replacement.

It's shameful that they won't protect their loyal customers and stand behind their products. Count me in on any Class Action lawsuit if Apple will not be honorable and correct their defective phones.

The Apple Store will not do anything for you unless you beg on the phone.

They are completely aware of this issue btw. They know the tricks to get the phone working.

Imy in the same boat. Losing trust in this brand really fast. Especially now that I see these reviews reported this happening before I made my purchase. Their resolve was for me to buy a new phone. I've had it for just over a year. I asked the girl on the phone if she would shell out $1,000 to a company who knowingly sold her trash for $1000 before and she said no.

I fixed mine by tightening some screws in the phone.

I'm with you. The hourly employee told me she has seen this again and again and the only thing I can do is raise my voice loud enough so hopefully someone hears me at "Apple Care". I run a restaurant in town and I think I'll just place it on the tables of my regulars and show them how it likes to FaceTime people and open apps, find my location, text people, etc. on its own. I shot a video of it and I'm negotiating with a few of those hot girls on instagram who have a million followers to see if they will post my video. The phone is junk. I can't stomach paying another $1,000 for someone to tell me they are "pretty" firm on their one year warranty. After reading these posts, they knew they were selling me junk when I bought it and they do nothing.

Worked for me! I ordered some repair tools and did it myself. Cost was $18 (US) for the tools plus about 15 minutes work.

Do you have a link to the tools you bought and instructions? YouTube preferably?

Look at my reply in this thread.

i have had the same issue with my iPhone 6 Plus and have since had my phone replaced 4 times by apple. Definitely a design issue with the 6 plus.

Bought a iPhone 6 Plus and have been enjoying it. All of the sudden, 3 days ago, it started acting exactly as you describe. I paid over £600 here in the UK for this phone and I best see someone at Apple replace this phone if it gets worse.

It is in a case, never has been dropped and nowhere near water.

One weird occurrence, while the phone was going through it's spastic fit, I spoke very loudly, calling wife (who has the same phone as I) to the kitchen and it disappeared immediately. I guess the phone realised I was getting irritated and corrected itself. Seriously. It stopped. Waiting for my phone to crazy once again so I may experiment with it again.

Hmmm...

I had exact same problem.

San Mateo, California, Hillsdale Shopping Mall, Apple Store experience: I went to apple store and as usual waited for about 55 minutes to be helped by a genius in genius bar. They had more "schedulers" on the floor than the "geniuses" at the genius bar. The resolution was to upgrade it using apple's plan for $330.00 - although the warrant on this upgraded phone will be just for 90 days. Or since my carrier is Verizon, I had option to upgrade through carrier and then get locked into their 2 year plan. Essentially there was no desire from Apple to give me a replacement without any charge to me. I agree with few other posters who too seem to be annoyed in forcing to pay money out of pocket for the product defects. Been Apple user for long time but, sad - I can see the downfall for Apple soon. Not a happy customer at all.

I had the same experience as many of you. I went to the Apple Store in Northbrook IL and they acknowledged that it is a known issue with the phone but Apple is not addressing it as such. The only option given to me was to replace the phone for $324 90 day warranty. I told the "genius" that if it starts flickering after the 90 days I am not going to be very agreeable when I come back in there. It's ridiculous but my phone had stop responding and I had to do something. I have tons of apple products: 2nd gen nano, 3rd gen nano, 3rd gen iTouch, 2nd gen shuffle, iphone 4s and ALL of them still work so I didn't think it was necessary to purchase Apple Care..... Very disappointed in them now.
