Apple has started offering a service to fix a fault on iPhone 6 Plus phones known as “touch disease”.
Touchscreens on smartphones that have this problem gradually become unresponsive.
The fault was highlighted by gadget sites which said it was caused by a manufacturing issue that meant some screen controller chips became loose.
Apple was criticised by one expert who said it was the phonemaker’s responsibility to fix it.
Apple is charging $149 in the USA for the service that will only be available on phones that are “in working order”.
