Apple will let you pay them to fix their design defect
For the last two years my iPhone 6+ has been, in effect, my primary computer. I have photographs of every document generated since my wife's heart and hip surgery. I watch her heart with an FDA approved miniature EKG device from Kardia that attaches to the back of the phone. I do banking and bill paying, check the weather, play games, check maps and use it as a GPS, communicate with the local library about book due dates and availabilities, watch lots of YT videos, schedule appointments, make reminders, track aircraft in realtime and much more. What I do with my Linux laptop is watch movies on the 17" screen, write documents, use the Sage math engine and play Minecraft. Sometimes I do on line banking, pay bills, etc.
This may come to a roaring stop because of what I read today about an iPhone6+ display problem involving a gray bar at the top of the display, and about Apple's "Error 53", a result of Apple bricking a repaired phone, forcing the user to buy another one. Microsoft wasn't any worse.

What does this mean for you?
I talked with Apple today about the details of their touch "repair" program, this is what I learned.
1.) Apple does not guarantee that they will actually repair your board, but may instead swap it for one from their refurbished replacement stock. This means you may lose your data.
2.) Apple does not deny that Replacement Stock phones may contain boards harvested from phones with prior history of drop or bend, and therefore likely to develop the same problem down the road.
3.) Apple can not confirm that there have been any changes made to the original design, such as a future proof metal shield, that will reduce the risk of this problem happening again.
4.) If you have any secondary issues with your device such as screen or frame damage you will not be eligible for the repair/swap program, and will have to pay $349 for regular out of warranty swap with refurbished stock.
5.) There is only a 90 day warranty on the repair/swap.
6.) The program for Apple to repair their own defective product is not free. You will pay $149 to have their design flaw either fixed or swapped for another board with the same underlying fault.
We continue to stand by our bona fide REPAIR solution for touch problems. We offer a superior 6 month warranty, futureproof shield installation, actual repair of YOUR board with no swaps, and extended no fix no fee guarantee that covers 10 possible secondary complications of touch ic microsurgery in addition to touch function.
