  • Rumor: Apple to debut iMessage for Android at WWDC 2016

    I'd love to see it. But what I really want is to see it on Windows. So annoying to thumb-type at work when there's a nice PC keyboard right in front of me. :)

  • Apple activates iPhone 6 Plus repair program to address 'touch disease'

    The drop thing is BS. It may be the reason some people have the problem, but not all. My original iPhone 6 Plus was replaced in June due to a faulty battery. I took in for a battery replacement and because the original battery had swollen, the Apple store replaced it with a brand new unit (they confirmed not refurbed) from their repair stock.

    Within a month it started exhibiting issues of "touch disease" -- screen would periodically stop responding to touch. Eventually by early August it got almost completely non-responsive and started exhibiting the flicker at the top of the screen. The tech at the store had seen it many times and replaced it under the 90-day repair warranty from the original repair.

    This was a brand-new iPhone 6 Plus that had only been used for a month when the problem kicked in. Never dropped, not even onto a desk. I knew I'd be turning around and selling it for an iPhone 7 Plus when it was released, so I was particularly careful to baby it and avoid scratches, etc.
