iphone 6 plus screen flickering

You described exactly what my phone is doing now. That started on my phone right after the warranty expires, when I took it to Apple Store, they told me they can't do anything due to my warranty expiring, and they advice me to trade my phone and get a new phone. Which was going to cost me $399 or just upgrade to 6S plus with them. They made it sound like I have the money stashed somewhere and ready to spend it anytime, even when this issues has been reported by a lot of users. I took it back to my phone provider and ended up buying a brand new one from them. Not even a week after restoring all my files from the old one, the new phone started exactly the same thing. Now, they can not tell me is a mechanical fault, because this is a brand new phone and not even up to a week and have exactly the same problem.

APple need need to recall all these phone and actually fix them. I have been an apple users since IPhone 4, but with this problem and the much complain I have read online concerning these problems. it is getting me to think if I should leave apple now for android.

I sent an email to 7 On Your Side to see if they can help us. It seems this is a quality issue on their phones and apple refuses to admit it. The store manager told me that "Apple has not acknowledge that this is an issue". It seems they are blaming consumers for screen flickers.

I have been a loyal apple customer since 2011. Recently, I had a terrible experience with iPhone 6 plus. The screen of the device became unresponsive and started flickering , I showed it to the apple store technical support and they said the repair was not feasible as it was a manufacturing defect. Device held a sentimental value for me so I insisted on repair but it was not available. finally, I decided to let go off the device and paid the 329+ taxes for the replacement that they offered to me. That was not the end of my ordeal. The replacement had a faulty camera and I have to still go and get it repaired. Every appointment at apple store is minimum 3-4 days of wait and added troubleshooting. It is overall a taxing experience for a premium product that we are told we are buying at the premium price.

Hi everyone,

i had this problem too. My iphone 6 Plus was replaced in May, and I had a glass screen protector installed.

About a mont or so ago. My screen started having this flickering on top of the screen. it's grey in color. And the phone would open apps On it's own and sometimes type On its own. And it became non-responsive to touches just this afternoon. And I restart the phone so many times until the problem is so serious that it became unresponsive to touch altogether. Then I saw some of you saying that the glass screen protector could be the cause.

So,

1. I took out the screen protector, and cleaned the screen throughly.

2. I also set the auto brightness to off.

3. Plus I turn on Reduce Transparency on Increase Contrast of Assessibility setting inside the General tab.

So far I don't see the problem of flickering screen, yet. I'm crossing my fingers that the problem is finally gone.

Good luck to fixIng your problem if it is similar. Hopefully you don't need to go back to Apple service Centre to have your phone fixed.

I assume you purchased your 6 plus from Verizon?

Apple is aware of the issue. My calls to the support desk let me know that the issue is known as 'ghosting'. The initial symptoms were apps randomly opening in rapid succession... but for me the most unnerving - when my phone started to randomly call people off my contacts list. With the touch screen frozen, I couldn't hang up or shut down the phone, I was finally able to shut down the phone by resetting the phone. When I restore the phone it operates for a short period of time then reverts back to the 'ghosting' behavior. When I initialized the phone, it was a total pain in the butt, and the phone worked fine until I installed the FaceBook Messenger app, then the behaviors started once again. I am under warranty with VERIZON (USA) however, I'm a bit nervous to set loose the chain of events that may lead to replacement of my device. Seems these warranties can be a bit costly to implement.

It is, the screen is too big and it detaches from the circuit board.

the iphone 6 plus is no good therfore apple can be seen for what they are a *** pit that takes money from the innocent at any means possible.

So in some kind of misguided belief that Apple might be able to offer some kind of goodwill, given that this recent occurrence of the same problem (same issue, same phone model, third occurrence) but NO. Despite the admission that this is a known fault, the charge for this repair could be over £300, for a phone which is probably not even worth that amount today.

It seems to me that Apple are happy to replace these phones whilst under warranty, whilst hoping the end of the warranty period comes up as quick as possible so that they can wash their hands of the support.

At least their 7.8 Billion dollar profit in Q3 will help them sleep at night.

Thanks Apple for your blinding customer loyalty and service 🙂

I just had my phone replaced. This is my 4th 6 plus in 2 years and the first time with the flickering problem.

A few days after I got the phone the top of the screen started to flicker, then the pad became un-responsive on the home screen. Apple had me re-install iOS but that didn't work, it maybe made it worse.

I can still use the phone as it happens sporadicly . Apple made me an appointment. This phone has a 90 day warrantee, lucky for that because it's my last day of apple care today. They seem helpful so I hope I don't end up with a lemon.

I'm having the same issues with my iPhone 6plus. The screen is flickering and freezing making it unresponsive. I can't answer calls most times and can't punch in the passcode. My phone has been babied all this while. I paid $1000 because I bought an unlocked version. Please include me on the

Touch Disease. Apple knows exactly what this problem is and how it is caused. Poor engineering, the screen comes loose through vibration and age. All 6 plus phones will end up this way after a while and that's just too bad. I was lucky they gave me another one through warrantee but this one will have the same problem down the line.

I have the iPhone 6 Plus 64G, and my phone just started flickering at the top of the screen as well. While the flickering is happening, which can last for seconds to minutes, my touch screen does not work, and I can't use my phone. I've only had this phone for about 8-10 months, but it was a warranty phone. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Try and take it to an apple store since you still have warranty on the phone. Apple didn't respond to my mail and call so i just switched to an android device.
