What’s the Root Cause of Touch ID Disease?
Touch IC chips on the iPhone’s logic board break away partially that results in intermittent electrical connections. Consequently, the touch screen doesn’t respond to the touch at all.
How to Find out if your iPhone is affected by Touch ID
The iPhone which has been affected by Touch Disease display flickering or Multi-Touch issues at the top of the screen. It looks a bit similar to TV static.
Apple redesigned the logic board in iPhone 6s/6s Plus or later and moved the affected components. Besides, the tech giant has made the latest iPhones (6s or later) more rigid to ensure they don’t easily bend. The chips were protected by the metal shield in older iPhones. As a result, they are also not affected by this issue.
How to Fix Touch Disease on iPhone
Apple has found that the Touch Disease could be the result of random drops of the device on hard surfaces. If your iPhone 6 Plus (which is more prone to this disease) is affected by this issue, Apple will repair your device for a service price of $149—only if it’s in working order and the screen is not cracked or broken.
