There is stupidity, and then there is weapons grade stupidity.
The Touch Disease you are babbling about is from iPhone users who insist upon carrying a delicate $700+ in their back pockets, and have repeatedly sat on. By doing this, they have flexed the circuit board and have broken multiple solderballs on the BGA Touch Controller chip. This is why the only fix is to replace the chip - or for non-simians, DO NOT SIT on your $700+ cell phone.
Yet, despite this abuse of the iPhone, despite zero injuries, despite zero property damage - in your mind this is equivalent to a phone that has caused over 90 serious burns in the USA and is being investigated as a source for causing both house and vehicle fires.
And you honestly believe you are sane. Amazing.
Your rant against the lying Dan is totally justified, but I don’t appreciate being lumped together with tight-jeans, back-pocket iPhone carriers... I don’t wear tight jeans, and have never carried my iPhone 6+ in that pocket where it could get flexed/bent - yet my iphone is starting to develop the “touch disease” - first sign of it began within an hour of the Apple Store replacing the screen for a defective microphone issue (a known problem).
And there is a growing number of folks complaining about this issue - who have never abused their iphone. There IS a defect - but it isn’t really a safety issue (other than if you need to make an emergency call and the screen won’t let you dial out).
