Mark keeps appearing on iPhone 6 Plus screen

Hi. i pre-ordered and recieve an iPhone 6 Plus today. i noticed after a couple hours that it had a "C" shape mark in the middle of the screen, whereby i cleaned the screen. After an hour or so later i noticed it had reappeared. And no matter how many times i clean the phone the mark keeps returning (if it disspears at all in the first place). Greasing the phone (with my own fingers) does seem to make the mark show up more.
it doesn't look like a scratch, it looks more like a grease mark, but nothing cleans that mark away. it looks like the mark could be under the screen maybe, but i shouldn't have a problem like this from a premium product with a premium price like this. is there something i can do to fix this problem myself or would i need to take it to an Apple store to either have the phone replaced or have the screen replaced? The only problem is that i was lucky to recieve the iPhone 6 Plus on release date, and i am worried if i send it back to an Apple store i will have to wait for 3 or 4 weeks for a replacement or repair, which is something i don't want to go through at all.
Has anyone else had this problem before, even on other phone makers (samsung, HTC, etc etc)?
Any help would be most grateful
Thanks

Hi tuoleado!
They look quite similar Actually. Only difference is mine is right in the middle and looks more like a machine mark. Your mark looks more like the screen is letting dirt under the screen and are large blobs, which is probably worse! But my mark is more a large C shape in the middle of the screen.
And well done taking a picture, I couldn't quite get the right angle, I'll have to try again when it's sunny outside!
Call Apple Support and get the iPhone replaced as soon as possible, when you spend the money we have for a product this premium this just isn't good enough. Problem is I was told on the phone I would receive a phone in a very short time, while a confirmation email about an hour after says 3 to 4 weeks. I'm worried ill be without a phone for a little while (which in my business is bad!) so if you still have your old phone, keep hold of it for a while just in case.
Let me know what happens! And thanks for posting. Best of luck!

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,

Cracked my iPhone 6 Plus screen :(

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?

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 Cracks

I have what I consider to be a huge problem. I set my phone down on its screen (So I don't end up damaging the camera) on a clean, flat table. I set one side on the table, and dropped it the rest of the way to the table, and heard a pretty loud "POP". I picked up the phone, and found 4 cracks. Two on the right side, and two on the upper and lower corners of the phone. I was livid! I just paid almost $1,000 for a phone that I can't even set down without it cracking? This is definitely an issue that needs to be fixed ASAP!
This Screen scratches extremely easily, and is not strong at all. I treat all of my electronics very well, and to have a screen on a $1,000 product break from the smallest impact you could imagine is just ridiculous!
It doesn't help that I am still waiting for my cases and screen protectors to arrive from Spigen!

So tell me? How did my phone crack in 4 places with zero impact marks?
also, do some research before making claims. Straight from the apple website.
iPhone 6: $109
iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5: $129
Plus a $6.95 shipping fee. Fees are in USD and exclude local tax. Pricing applies only to screen repair by Apple. Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.
TTwo screen repairs without apple care is $260.
Two screen repairs plus buying apple care is also $260. Since is have never broken an iPhone screen before, I don't envision having to do this again if they do charge me, but still, it would be the same price.
to finish, you're saying because you've never seen it happen, then it's impossible. Unless you're Jesus, which I'm sure not, you cannot possible determine the outcime of every single situation that will ever happen.

IPhone 6 plus screen corner bright white

Hello everyone :
This is my first ever post.Here's the situation.I got a brand new iPhone 6 Plus and when I was browsing on Safari, there's a tiny white gap between the screen and the glass. I check the other phones in other Apple Store and I see all of them have similar gaps between the display and the glass.Wanna ask does this problem occur to u as well.Because I am considering to refund the phone and buy a new one again.

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.

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 edges colorization

Hello community
My ip6 plus has colorization around the edges of the screen in portrait mode. (As the phone is standing). It happens in all the apps I open.
If I don't open an app, i have a solid looking screen.
The colors I see are yellow, red, green, blue and just along the edges.
I am asking if anyone else is having this issue as my last iPhone 5 never had this.
Should I replace it with Apple.
Thank you

Iphone 6 plus screen crack, how much does it cost.?

Had iPhone 3,4 and 5 and never had protective case. over the years phones fell several times. they even fell down on road, except for small dings on the edges they never had cracked screens.
6 plus screen cracked after falling less than 3 feet (from back pocket) on to wood floor, even with protective case (bought case so that it won't slip from the hand, phone being so slippery).
I think, Quality of apple hardware and software went down drastically with latest round of refresh.
iOS 8 has lot of issues.
usually hardware is high quality but seems like that is not the case anymore.
Even worse part of the experience is:
    had online chat with apple support person and (Julian) he/she mentioned he/she will give me a deal for $129, fixing the screen.
    After a quick google search, seems like list price of fixing the screen is in fact $129, I don't think there is any deal (see the question).
Question::
How much does it really cost to fix the screen crack. screen is working fine.
https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/
Page lists price as $129 but support live-chat person mentioned around 350 something and offered deal of $129.
Did anyone had the iPhone 6 plus fixed ? if so how much did it cost, without applecare.??

Whole unit replacement of an iPhone 6 Plus is $329 USD + tax.
Screen replacement only is $129 USD + tax.
Either you misunderstood, or they were simply trying to explain how a screen replacement is less expensive than whole unit replacement.
Why do you care if it's a 'deal' or just the normal price? Are you wanting to be treated special and different from other Apple customers?
