In January 2015 I went to the Apple Store 5 times in 5 days because each replacement had the touch disease problem . Ended up going on vacation with an essentially dead iPhone 6 Plus . Came back from vacation and the 7 th iPhone had touch disease too so I asked them if they could do something for me because I ' ve had 7 malfunctioning phones , wasted over 20 hours going to and from the Apple Store , and had a useless phone for my vacation . The guy didn ' t even care and told me I could trade the iPhone in for like $ 200 and buy a new iPhone for $ 1200 . All depends if you get lucky or not . Took me 8 iPhones to get a working one and 20 hours of travel and countless more of setting up the phones . <| sep |> Merry Anns
