Not everything is good news in the world of the iPhone, much less with the
launch of the iPhone 7
around the corner. The bad news for Apple is that
hundreds of users are reporting that their touch screens iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus do not respond
to the pulsations, leaving these completely unusable.
Apple has not given an official statement regarding this ruling, but as
the company
says
iFixit, is a manufacturing problem
. When the screen does not respond, a gray bar appears at the top of the screen and stops responding.
Problems on the screens of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Two years ago that Apple introduced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but by not recognizing this failure as a failure of manufacture or design, many users no longer have a guarantee and Apple disregards.
From the iFixit company or even the
Apple forums
, you can see how hundreds of users report the same problem. Some users say that as soon as the gray bar appears at the top,
if pressure is applied to the screen continuously the problem is solved momentarily and that after a while the gray bar appears again but larger
, so it could not be called solution.
If you have this problem and your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is under warranty, request the repair or change of the device
as soon as possible, as this is a hardware problem and will not be solved with any iOS update.
Changing the screen of the iPhone will not solve the problem either
, since the fault is in the circuit of the touch screen controller, which is directly soldered to the board of the device.
In these cases, Apple usually recognizes the error as its own and begins the replacement / fix program, but this time it does not look like it will be like that. The most affected users are those who are not within a guarantee period, since they will have to
change the base plate of the iPhone
and its cost is very high.
