I am with Consumer Cellular, and an unlocked GSM iPhone 6 experiencing the same after IOS 10.1.1 upgrade. Problems are random. Apps switching around opening and closing, messages being typed on their own, phone freezes up completely, can't swipe the off slider. Pressing home/sleep fixes the problem for a while. I re-installed through iTunes on my Mac to no avail. My old iPhone 4 works fine, but has my SIM slot (old Verizon). I am frustrated, and want Apple to provide a cure. They screwed us up this time, and they need to confess!

This is terrible if they can't fix this bug or whatever it is. I brought mine into AT&T after the same problem and they gave me a replacement. A day later, the same thing happened as before with the "phantom finger."


For as much money as we spend on these phones, they should be able to fix this.


This also took forever to type as the finger tried to talk dirty to you all...
