Geniuses Say Apple Knows About iPhone 6 'Touch Disease', Won't Admit It Publicly

Earlier this month, I reported that the touchscreens of thousands upon thousands of iPhone 6 Plus devices are failing due to an engineering flaw.And while Apple the company has yet to publicly acknowledge that these phones are breaking under normal use, employees who work at Apple's retail stores tell Motherboard that the company is well aware of the flaw and has left its in-store "geniuses" to be the bearer of bad news to customers.Two Apple store employees, one current and one who recently quit, contacted Motherboard after we initially published our story about iPhone 6 Plus touchscreen problems.

Apple iPhone 10 home button could be similar to Xiaomi's new Mi 5s

The "Apple of China" just came out with two phones with "embedded home buttons," a similar feature that's rumored to be in Apple's 2017 iPhones.On Tuesday, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi showcased the capacitive "ultrasonic" home buttons on its new devices, the Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus, in a new video.It's a similar concept to the capacitive ultrasonic technology Apple is looking into for its own iPhone home buttons, as shown in these patents discovered by Patently Apple in April, which gives us an idea of what it would look like and how it would work.

Everyone knows that the iPhone handily disrupted the smartphone market, but that's not the only industry that was crushed in Apple's wake.As they say, the best camera is the camera you have with you, and almost half of U.S. adults now carry one built into their iPhone.That number climbs to almost every U.S. adult if you count Android models as well.

Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus: What's the story so far?

The rumour mill loves an Apple story.It doesn't matter if it's so far fetched it will never see the light of day, or whether it is something that might actually happen, it churns them all out anyway.With the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus having both now launched, and no sign of the iPhone 7 Pro, all heads have turned to the next iPhones.

Why didn't Apple release iPhone 7 sales numbers?

For the first time since 2008, the year Apple released the second version of its now iconic iPhone smartphone, the company chose not to release initial sales numbers for the phone within a few of days — or even weeks — of a new iPhone launch.In July, 2008, for example, Apple said it had sold a million iPhone 3G phones, three days after the device went on sale.Again, in 2009, the company announced iPhone 3GS sales numbers three days after its launch.
