After months of turning a blind eye to "Touch Disease", Apple has created a worldwide repair program
After months of turning a blind eye to "Touch Disease", Apple has created a worldwide repair program to address the issue on iPhone 6 Plus devices. 。
To recap: "Touch Disease," discovered by third-party repair specialists, is a defect that causes an iPhone's display to flicker and touchscreens to become unresponsive. 。

As part of the repair program, Apple's offering repairs for affected iPhone 6 Pluses for $149 as long as the screen's not cracked or damaged. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
Participating service centers include Apple Stores, Apple Authorized Service Providers and Apple Technical Support. Wireless carriers are not participating, so don't bother bringing your busted iPhone over to AT&T, Verizon, etc.。
It's great to see Apple finally acknowledge the issue, but it's unclear why the repair program is limited to iPhone 6 Plus devices 。
Apple says it'll contact customers who paid out of pocket to fix their iPhone 6 Plus either through Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (if the repair place isn't authorized by Apple, you're out of luck) for a 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," states Apple's repair website. 。
It's great to see Apple finally acknowledge the issue, but it's unclear why the repair program is limited to iPhone 6 Plus devices and not iPhone 6 as well. According to iFixit, iPhone 6 can also be affected by Touch Disease, although the problem is more prevalent on iPhone 6 Pluses. 。
