Apple has announced the launch of a Multi-Touch Repair Program for the iPhone 6 Plus.

Apple has determined that some iPhone 6 Plus devices may exhibit display flickering or Multi-Touch issues after being dropped multiple times on a hard surface and then incurring further stress on the device. If your iPhone 6 Plus is exhibiting the symptoms noted above, is in working order, and the screen is not cracked or broken, Apple will repair your device for a service price of $149.

The company also notes that it will contact customers who may have paid for a service repair related to this issue either through Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to arrange reimbursement. The reimbursement amount will equal the difference between the price you paid for the original service to your iPhone 6 Plus and the $149 service price.

You can have your iPhone 6 Plus repaired via an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Apple Retail Store, or Apple Technical Support.

Apple always does this deny, deny, deny the admit there "may" be a problem.... wait a while the come out with a limited half assed repair program. This program is BS. The problem is due to the phone flexing and breaking 2 chips. It is a design flaw. Just like all the graphic chip issues involving several generations of MacBook Pros.

Lmao. Dat money grab. It's a flaw that affects a large number of iPhones and they still want you to pay it upfront for repairs, instead of doing a courtesy fix/recall. Imagine this on a car, where there is a large enough sample exhibiting a non-fatal defect like bad air-conditioning, but the car manufacturer won't give you a courtesy fix. Yeah I guess you can argue it is "out of warranty" but everyone has had so many terrible experiences with the touch screen ala Touch Disease since year one, that they "happened" to just announce this once people's Apple Care expired. Definitely intentional.

I worked at Apple for 6 years as a genius. I would see this issue ALL OF THE TIME it should be on Apple to pay for the repair...I would have to argue with our managers all the time to give the cost because the devices were always out of warranty

You are still living in your imaginary Japan? Is it next to Neverhood?

Also the iPhone 6 has started to show the same issue as the 6 plus.

My Moms iPhone 6 has the same problem, phone is in Great condition, so I decided to take it upon myself and fix it, all I did was put electrical tape on the IC chips on the back of the logic board. It's covered by a simple sticker... the problem has been fixed so far... save your money, or you may as well upgrade your device.
