Update, I re-set and restored my iPhone 6 Plus to determine if what I am experiencing is a software problem. After this touch worked for about an hour, then the phone started the same old problem: touch works sometimes and not other times. I'm pretty sure now it is a hardware problem as has been previously described. Guy at the Apple Store said the only solution was to buy a new iPhone 7 Plus, gee, I never thought of that. Apple store folks acted like they had never heard of such a problem...hard to believe.

Well, just got back from the local Apple Store. Experience was just fine. They exchanged my iPhone 6 Plus for a new one. Said it was still under AppleCare. I did not ask what if it was not covered... I think the SOL would be the responses from what I read elsewhere.

Lesson --> AppleCare.


They would offer a trade up to iPhone 7. That would be just full retail less a trade-in value. They said mine was in real good shape for a trade

Lesson --> Protective Case, Armor Screen protector.


--LessFrustrated for now. I fear the new iPhone 6 Plus may have the same issue. Time will tell.


I did look at the 7Plus. As usual, nice. Will have to wait for my Phone Company aniversary date.
