A Design Defect Is Breaking a Ton of iPhone 6 Pluses


People all over the world mail their broken iPhones to microsoldering specialist Jessa Jones. Aided by powerful microscopes and precision soldering irons, experts like Jessa pluck tiny chips off logic boards, swap them for new ones, and resurrect devices over which Apple’s Genius Bar would say a eulogy.

Jessa can fix practically anything. But these days, she spends most of her time fixing just one thing. Because every single month, more and more iPhone 6 and (especially) 6 Plus devices show up at her shop, iPad Rehab, with the same problem: a gray, flickering bar at the top of the display and an unresponsive touchscreen, a problem Jessa calls Touch IC disease.

Thanks to Jessa for taking time out of her busy day to talk with us about the issue of Touch IC disease with us. You can find here over at Mendon iPad Rehab
