IPhone 6 Plus screen registering false taps and swipes

My iPhone 6 Plus (64GB, Gold, AT&T) is pretty consistently registering false taps and swipes. Even when the phone is sitting alone on a table. The issue has made my phone nearly impossible to use. I've tried a hard reset and a DFU restore then setting it up as a new phone. The issue persists which leads me to believe it's a hardware issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

If restoring as new didn't fix the problem, then your device has a defective touch screen. It needs to be repaired/replaced.

  • My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare

    My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

    $129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

  • Best iPhone 6 Plus Screen Protector

    I have a Zagg for my iPhone 6 but my sister is looking for iPhone 6 Plus screen Protector, I wonder if this LUVVITT is good brand or not for screen protector,
    They look good but Im not sure for my iPhone 6 Plus
    LUVVITT Screen Protector for iPhone Plus

    Go with the Arcadia Oleophobic Tempered Glass screen protector ! It is amazing!! I bought it because its the only one I've found to have a 5 star rating on Amazon and its only $11.95! It works great, goes on easy and doesn't inhibit the touch functionality at all. Its super hard and protective but is also thin enough that it doesn't seem like its even there! I would definitely recommend this one over any other ones out there!

  • Iphone 6 plus screen frozen when downloading movies from itunes

    My iphone 6 plus screen froze up when I tried to rent/download 2 movies on iTunes. I did  not have enought free space to accommodate I guess, so instead I tried downloading it on my iPad since I had more storage space...but when I tried to rent it on my iPad instead, iTunes says I already rented it... Will I be paying for the two movies I rented since I dont have enough space to watch it? And how do I unfreeze my screen?

    Hello there, Zara2aj.
    When renting movies on your iOS device, the following Knowledge Base article explains where to locate it and the availability of that rental on other devices:
    FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Where can I find movies that I rented?
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it. Follow these steps:
    Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Apple TV:
    2nd or 3rd generation: Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    1st generation: Go to Movies > Rented Movies.
    Where can I watch movies that I rented?
    Mac or PC
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later)
    iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
    TV using Apple TV
    Watch your movie on the device you used to rent it. If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Cracked Iphone 6 plus screen

    Hello guys,
    So I recently broke my iphone 6 plus screen, and I'm trying to find a reasonable fix for it.
    I know it doesnt get covered by warranty, even thou it's valid until Januar.
    I'm from Slovenia and the local store asked for 466€(506$) for a repair, which doesn't seem fair at all.
    I can see for US are around 130usd for a screen replacement, which is a lot different from 466€(506$).
    What can I do? Can I ship my phone through mail to different country?
    Thank you for your replys.
    Regards, Rok

    and chat online with an Apple representative he might offer you a less expensive option. 300 euros is just abusive. GL.
    If it was purchased in the United States, then there's not a local option in Portugal.
    If it's just a screen replacement, perhaps.  But I see no prices in Portugal in the Service Answer Center. 
    But in Spain?

  • My iPhone 6 plus screen cracked without me dropping it.

    I have had my iPhone 6 plus for about 6 months and a couple of days ago I noticed that there is a diagonal crack. I did not drop or hit the phone. I totally have no clue of how or why it happened. I took it to the apple store and they want me to pay for fixing it. They said that there is no way for them to know whether I did or did not drop it and hence they assume the worst case scenario and the only way is to pay for fixing it. I'm really upset as I just feel that it is utterly unfair to pay for something that you did not do. Has anybody had a similar issue?

    Screens or any glass plate does not just crack spontaneously by itself.  Somehow, accidental or not, something must have happened to cause the crack.  So, from Apple's point of view that is not a hardware parts nor manufacturing defect, and thus not covered under warranty.  You can pay to get the screen replaced though.

  • My iPhone 6 plus screen orientation is not working properly

    I Bought my iPhone 6 plus 64GB on launch day and I haven't really had any problems, until a few days ago... My screen orientation will randomly flip upside down from the Touch ID home button. It it will be horizontal when I'm holding my device verticle, if I turn on the orientation lock the screen will return to normal but that's a temporary fix. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem, but I'm not positive. Is there a way to fix this?

    Try hard resetting your phone:
    Hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously until the screen turns off, then let go. Then press the power button to turn the phone back on. If that doesn't work, you may have to take your phone in to an Apple Store. Given the fact that you just purchased it, you will most likely get a replacement phone free of charge.
    In the case that you decide to bring your iPhone in, make sure to create a backup first.
    See these articles for more information:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Wishing you the best of luck.

  • I have iphone 6 plus i forgot my passcode and i never backed up my device, i just want a way to restore my iphone without losing my contacts?

    I have iphone 6 plus i forgot my passcode and i never backed up my device, i just want a way to restore my iphone without losing my contacts?

    Sorry but Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support covers all of the methods. Any chance that you had it set to automatically back up to iCloud and/or sync contacts to iCloud?
    You can check on whether the contacts were synced by logging in to https://www.icloud.com/ and looking at the Contacts app there.
    The "Delete Backups and turn off backups from your device" in the following link describes how you can use a computer to see if there is an iCloud backup of your phone. Follow those instructions to the point of seeing if the backup is listed but obviously you don't follow the rest of the instructions on how to delete. Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • Iphone 6 plus screen flashing white and black

    My iPhone 6 Plus 16Gb suddenly started to show screen artifacs, like flashing with white and black, so I can't see the springboard only black and white screen. Restart of the phone didn't help. Even when the phone is booting, Apple logo doesn't appear and then again flashes. As it seems on background everything is working, as I can receive sms and phone calls. It is just the screen. iPhobe 6 Plus is brand new, I've been using it for 1 week and it never dropped. No physical damage, no nothing, just flashing

    Have you tried a Reset by holding down the Sleep / Wake Button and the Home Button at the same time until the white Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons, but wait until the Reset completes and you are back at your lock-screen?  If this doesn't work then do you have a computer with the current version of iTunes?  If yes and you already have a Backup of your Media and Data on iCloud or iTunes, then you can put the iPhone in DFU Mode.  Don't do this unless you have a Backup and also have a computer with the latest iTunes.  You will need your Apple ID and Password.  To go to DFU Mode you can hold the Home button while you plug the Lightning Cable into the iPhone, a graphic will appear on the iPhone screen showing that you need to connect to iTunes.  At that point just connect the iPhone via the Lightning Cable with USB into your Computer.  Open the iTunes App on the Computer and wait until a button appears representing the connected iPhone.  Then click on the iPhone button on the iTunes screen and it should open to the Summary page.  At that point you can Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings and bring it up as A New Phone.  The iPhone should screen should then show Hello and you will need to connect to your WiFi via your Router WiFi Password and then answer all the question put forth by the iPhone.  When the "Lets Get Started" occurs you can thoroughly check out the iPhone to make sure it is all OK.  When satisfied that things are good, you can plug into the computer and iTunes and this time Restore from Backup.  or if you Backup is in iCloud you can Restore over the air. 

  • IPhone 6 Plus - screen swipe problem in photo apps

    I am having issues swiping at at the bottom of my screen, but strangely it only seems to be in photo editing based apps, which suggests it is is some kind of software issue. My wife also has the same issue with her iPhone 6 Plus so I know it is not just my phone.
    For example, in Snapseed the filter options are all along the bottom of the screen but when I try to swipe though them I often get no response or it opens the filter I first touched and swiped on (as if I have tapped it rather than swiped). The same goes for many other photo apps that have filter options to swipe through at the bottom of the screen, including the actual Apple photo app when in edit mode.
    In the case of Snapseed, I do manage to swipe the filter options along if I can just touch the area between the actual filter icons, but it is a very small space and hard to touch without hitting one of the icons.
    Its not a screen sensitivity issue as I have no problem with response when tapping, also I have no problems in other types of apps, just photo editing ones. The BBC weather app require swiping through the days at the bottom of the screen and is fully responsive.
    I am hoping it will be noticed and corrected in future software updates either to iOS or the individual apps, but for now it is massively frustrating.
    Anyone else?

    I've also experienced this same problem using snapseed.  It's really frustrating to use the app.

  • IPhone 6 Plus Screen Issue?? Going insane here! 6th phone opened same problem

    Hi all,
    I bought a iPhone 6 plus on launch day. I noticed something immediately and that was that the screen, even on full brightness, wasn't displaying whites as nicely as the phones on display in the apple store. The apple store iPhone 6 pluses on display display bright, vivid whites (let's say when your on google.com) but my phone looked slightly more dimmed and shaded out. The difference is slight, but when you compare, you notice it immediately and have had apple employees notice this before I even compared them the phones side by side.
    I ended up having the apple store open a few phones for me to replace and they were WORSE (they opened 5 phones). I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one only to have the same issue. I just don't understand why the iPhone 6 pluses on display have screens that show whites and nice and bright, where as my screens are dimmer and more 'shaded out'.
    I promise you, if you have an iPhone 6 plus go to the apple store and do the comparison. Unless your lucky, it'll be there. This isn't a yellow screen, or uniform brightness issue, the screen just looks shaded even on full brightness making whites look more 'grey' than the way they are displayed on the 6 pluses in the store. All the setting are perfect this isn't the issue. The issue is the screen itself. I just wanted to know if I was the only one.

    I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.
