Anyone have any issues with this yet? It seems like more and more people are faced with a phone that will no longer work as this issue gets larger. I downloaded the newest update to my phone and basically it locked my phone up completely. So, I guess I fell victim to this so called "Touch Disease." Went to the Apple Store and of course there is nothing they can do to rectify the issue without me spending $300 for a refurbished phone that may or may not have the same issue down the line. I used to be pro Apple but man, this leaves an awful taste in my mouth.
Samsung Note 7 here I come!
Touch Disease - (
New Window )
As far as I have read, it has nothing to do with the software, it is the result of the internal chip controlling touch getting ruined by the bending issues.
Never gonna update it. Plus with the update they take away the gun emoji 🔫🔫🔫

It's a hardware problem.

It's not clear. Some reports say flexing of the phone is a factor in causing the problem, but other reports say failures are occurring on phones that aren't carried in pockets and don't get flexed.
It's definitely a hardware issue though: there's a loss of electrical connection to the the chip that controls the touch logic.
