Preparing old phone to sell and this??

[Noplac2hyd]

so I'm about to clean iPhone 6 to sell and my screen starts doing this any ideas? No it did not get wet

Isn't that the start of the so called touch disease?

 

[Noplac2hyd]

Apparently.

What were you cleaning it with? Certain cleaners have been known to react with the glass coating. I've had this happen on my MacBook before. It goes away on its own.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

I hadn't used any cleaner on it yet. Was wiping the screen off with a micro fiber cloth when I noticed it. It looks like it's under the glass so far has not gone away

 

[rawlus]

Is it just the angle? Could it be worn away oleophobic coating in the glass? Does it correspond in an way to the way you use the phone?

Don't feel bad, my 6+ decided to quit connecting to its cellular network last week. Instead of me selling it on eBay, it's now a space gray brick.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

No it's not the coating. It's definitely coming from behind. It does not manipulate in any way when you touch it. It doesn't affect the touch sensor because everything else works just fine. I've had iPhone since day 1 of the original and I've never seen anything like it before

Oh man. Not good

 

[Noplac2hyd]

I'm sure I can still get a couple hundred on eBay. But no where near what I would have gotten

Screen replacement is not too expensive to bring to to like-new condition.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

Looks worse with lighter background

 

[morphodone]

Seems like the screen might be delaminating.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

I think the phone senses that its replacement is sitting in a ups hub 5 miles away and got pissed off and decided to self destruct

You could just order the 7+ and turn that one in for the $650 in monthly 24 credits for a trade in deal on a new 7.

Trade in has to be in good condition.

Lol nvm! I thought you were talking to the guy with the screen issue.

Someone dropped it in the water

This is why i always use a tempered glass screen protector even though everyone keeps saying its not needed. Its a 700+ dollar investment, I'm gonna protect it at all costs.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

That's the thing. It's not water damage. And it's not cracks or anything it's definitely somthing internal

I'll take your brick. Lol

Just be careful who replaces the screen. Even some Apple refurbs, I had seen with a display that is not perfectly lined up and with a 1 mm gap between the screen and the body which as a result creates a sharp, instead of the smooth edge.

 

[Noplac2hyd]

Nah just gonna sell it as is. Let someone else worry about fixing it
