iphone 6 plus display freeze, white flickering screen comes down from top, apps open on their own. other buttons work, just screen inop

i bought it the day it launched so my 1 year Apple warranty was up. I had an extended warranty through Verizon. i didn't want to get a used phone but a used phone that works is better than the old one that doesnt.

You do realize that you get post warranty support from Apple. Was this warranty claim you got from Verizon free? How much do they charge you for an extended warranty (curious). If you are out of warranty and there is a defect, then you are offered an out of warranty replacement at Apple, which has a 90 day warranty or the balance of the phone's warranty, whichever is longest. And of course, there is always Apple Care Plus, which extends your iPhone warranty from 1 year to 2 and extends your phone support from 90 days to 2 years. And Apple's replacements are Apple refurbished, which you cannot tell from brand new, receive extensive testing and are warrantied. Good luck with your changed out device.

So, I went by the Apple Store tonight. They inspected my phone for damage...NONE! They replaced my phone under Apple warranty. I specifically asked if this was a known problem. The guy helping me said it is actually a symptom of a known larger design problem. I attempted to pry but no further info. I'm just glad I got a new phone!

I Found the extended warranty in with my insurance charges. I have 3 iPhones getting charged different amounts for insurance which I will be talking to Verizon about today. But mine was the cheapest insurance at $9.99 a month. I had another at $10.00 a month and one at $11.00. Not sure why the differences but they all have different names so in assuming the coverages are different. Besides the monthly insurance fee there was no charges for the warranty exchange. I did the warranty claim on Wednesday and they overnightled the repacement to me for free with return shipping for on the old device. I would love to be able to drop in an Apple Store whenever I had a problem but the 2 closest stores are 120 miles away in opposite directions. I'm not driving that far for a phone repclement I can get in town for free.

I can understand not wanting to drive. I just hope the replacements they got you were quality, since most insurance replacements are questionable. Either way, just glad you are back in business, good luck with your device.

i made an appointment at the Apple Store. Apple genius said they are aware of the problem and they gave me a new phone...restored it from a backup and now the phone works like it's supposed to without freezing!!

Here's my story....

I had this problem 2 weeks ago, the touchscreen stopped working sporadically at first, then became constant, sometime it wouldn't respond at all or I would touch one app and another would open. I tried restarting it when I actually could turn it off but didn't hel[p.

I took it to my ATT provider and they told me to go the Apple store in Portland, OR.

So I off to the Apple store across town, after waiting an hour they said they were aware of the problem and gave me replacement phone, no charge.

2 days later...., the new replacement phone start doing the same thing, one again I have to go to Apple where they give me ANOTHER replacement phone. the said no way it'll happen again. I figure "ya, just a fluke, third times a charm...."

WELL,....today, after less than a week with my 3rd IPhone 6 Plus it does the same thing.

I love Apple products but I am so angry, Im a self employed contractor and need my phone to be working when I need it which is all the time.

So all that to say this..... I'm on my 4th phone in two weeks and am anticipating it happening again.....

my new replacement started acting up today. Cant swipe to open and i get some "flashing" glitches on the top where the battery percentage is located. Ugh..now back to the Apple Store...wish they would just swap it out for a 6s Plus at this point. Maybe thats a better phone.

So my iPhone 6plus is doing the same thing I keep going between apple and Verizon my device carrier. apple acknowledges that this is a known issue, so how do we get a recall and new devices??? Help anyone! My phone is passed warranty I don't have apple care nor insurance usually Apple products have been great and reliable this is the first and I am so disappointed

I've been experiencing the same thing for about 2 years now with the same device from 16GB to 64GB different colors of the phone but it has always been an iPhone 6 Plus. I don't know if it's a software issue or something that I'm doing but I know it's happen countless times even after I've gotten replacements. Quite frankly I'm sick of it. It's a huge inconvenience to keep going to the "nearest" apple store when it's like 20 miles from where I am. Due to that I have apple care I can get a free phone but why constantly doing that for not only a defective software but for a defective device.😠

My phone flickers at top and cannot get into apps. We don't have an Apple store close. But great to know what the problem is.

This is the same problem that almost all iphone users are seeing. welcome aboard! I am so much frustrated from last two weeks seeing this on my screen. please some one help me out.

I've also had this problem with my last 4 Iphone6s. I would love to know if Apple could give us something in return for the many trips we've had to take to get this malfunction fixed and fixed again. - Tired College Student.
