Well my 6 Plus has touch disease

It's been acting up the past few days, not responding to touch all that well and tonight the grey bar showed up too.

If I have to get another phone at this point I might not get another iPhone. I wanted to wait another year and get the 8. I'm not paying Apple to fix this either since it was not something I did.

I talked to Apple just now and they're going to send me a replacement phone. Since I have Apple Care+ I don't have to pay anything. I just had to let them put a hold on my card until they get my original back.

I'm glad they've done that. Now I can go back to my original plan of waiting for the iPhone 8 to come out then upgrading.
