‘Touch Disease’ exclusive blog for iPhone users

Apple, the tech giant reportedly sold huge number of smart phones last year after the release of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The users are now annoyed with the flaws currently taking place in the touch screen of the device.

According to BBC, iFixit - a repair specialist took up on internet by writing a blog mentioning the "Touch Disease" of the great Apple's iPhone and thousands of followers responding to the same problems with their device.

Neil Mawston, from Strategy Analytics, told the BBC, "There doesn't seem to be any quantification about precisely what percentage of iPhones have been affected, so it's difficult to tell if this is a minor or major problem,"

"But if there is a serious iPhone 6 touch screen issue, Apple will need to acknowledge it openly, respond promptly and offer a reasonable solution to affected customers.

"Apple customers pay a premium for their iPhones, and they expect premium after-sales service."

According to Gizmodo, 'iFixit' claims that the "Touch Disease" in iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is due to the problem in two chips that is responsible for governing the touch senses.  As time elapses, the solder which connects the chips with logic board gets disconnected and cause the touch screen to be unresponsive. The soldering beads are unable to handle repetitive stress and results in disconnections. The swipes and touch sensing capabilities of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are affected by the small disconnections.

According to BBC, some of the blog quotes are:

"Every repair tech we spoke to told us that the problem is incredibly common," 

"If the issue is as widespread as repair pros suspect, then Apple should start offering customers solutions instead of excuses. And they need to do it soon," the blog adds.

"You might notice that the screen is sometimes unresponsive, but it is quick to come back with a hard reset,"- one repair specialist said

iFixit also claims that iPhone 6S and 6S plus will not encounter such problem as " Touch Disease" because these two chips are connected to different components.

iFixit also gives details of several specialist supporting it in this case. Apple has not commented yet about the flaws in the device and no official statement has been released by Apple.
