Sometimes this can happen if the phone is dropped or shook in just a certain way. The digitizer (a series of ultra small invisible cables that detect minor electrical changes to determine where your finger is on the screen) can cross connections and make it appear that your finger is on the screen to your device. Unfortunately this means its likely a HARDWARE issue. Best case scenario you take it to apple and politely ask a technician to help you. "Remember, 1. these guys did not build your phone, 2.they did not break your phone, 3. these guys are here to fix your problem. They don't get nearly as much credit as people should give them." Prices for a screen replacement have recently dropped so it may not be as expensive as you remember to have it done. Of course if your under warranty they should cover the charge for free. BOL

i got same problem here


i use iphone 6 plus. my phone is in good condition. i was having trouble with iphone 6 plus since three days ago. but today it's really gone crazy. my iphone 6 plus touch screen gone crazy without i'm touching it. It also pastes my previous messages by itself and typing random alphabets. when i open my contact list, it makes call to people on my contact list by itself. the touch screen gone crazy it refuses to do what i wanted to do. in wechat, as i want to choose sticker to send to a friend, it picked the wrong sticker and sent. the crazy is, i tap just one time on that sticker but it sent about ten different stickers to my friend.

and the home button from the AssistiveTouch can't work! i tap it many times it doesn't work!. not just that, when i tap the home button it gone everywhere like checking the stock markets, then suddenly opens my notes! it's really insane! as i want to type a messeges, before my finger touch the screen, it types itself! and the alphabet appears soooo many like vvvbxsbxsjkjkwjjkw like this. as i open my camera, it captures by itself!

why is this happen? please explain. i spent so much money on this iphone.
