Apple quietly started offering repairs for the Touch Disease that has been affecting large numbers of iPhone 6’s and 6 Plus.

While Apple has not officially called it that, and has denied claims that they are at fault for the issue, they have begun offering the repair at $149 for iPhone 6 Plus for those who are affected. This is much cheaper than the original cost of $329 for the 6 Plus. Anyone who has already paid for a replacement relating to this device issue can go and receive a refund of the difference at an Apple store with a Genius Bar appointment. Read below from Apple’s Support Page.

“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.

Apple 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. If you have not been contacted but paid for a repair that you believe was related to this issue, please contact Apple.

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.”
