IPhone 6 plus touchscreen unresponsive

HI, I've Just got my new replacement iPhone 6 plus. It was swapped because the first one had an unresponsive touchscree. The thing is that my new iPhone has the same issues with the touchscreen not responding to the touch. A white line appears at the top of the screen and apps start to launch themselves. I have two friends with the same iPhone 6 plus issues.

I used to have the same issue, and I decide to fix it.. keep in mind to try this by your own risk IF there is no other way to fixed by apple or by software restore / update: my cellphone starts got unrresponsive when I touch the screen and also got lines on the top of the screen, at first, they were very small, but with some days, they start to grow at almost the half of the screen and sometimes I was able to fix it by just pressing down the top of my phone or push it down on a flat surface. And get to a point when my cellphone was almost usless cause this problem, so I open the phone, unplug the battery, and unplug the display, clean the conectors with a tooth brush and some contact cleaner and put everything back. ITS FIXED!

Hi


It may help to follow the steps here:


If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support


Otherwise, there is now a Multi-Touch Repair Program for iPhone 6 Plus.


Subject to the terms of the program, if your iPhone 6 Plus is exhibiting certain symptoms, is otherwise in working order and the screen is not cracked or broken, Apple will repair your iPhone for a fixed service price (for example, $149 in the US).


Select your country and follow the instructions here:
