Apple has come up with Multi-Touch Repair Program to fix iPhone 6 Plus "Touch Disease", which claims to repair affected devices for a flat service price of $149.

Why is my iphone screen flickering if yours is not the gray flickering bar in iPhone ? In this case, it might be resulted from some software issue or instability. Check the following solutions.

Solution 2. If iPhone Screen Flickering When Using a Certain App

If your iPhone screen shaking only occurs when you are using a specific app, there is a problem with that app. I suggest that you close that app to see if the problem is solved.

Follow the steps below to close an app on your iPhone.

• On iPhone 13/12/11/XR/XS and X, swipe up from the bottom to the center of the screen; On iPhone 8 or earlier, double click the Home button.
• All open apps will appear in a mini version on your screen.
• Switch up and off the top of the screen to close an app.

If your iPhone still flickers, you can delete that specific app and reinstall it for a try. To delete an app on iPhone, press and hold the app icon on iPhone's home screen, then you will see the "x". Tap it and click Delete button to confirm your decision.

Instead of rebooting and hard reset, there's another easy fix that worth trying.

• Go to Settings—>Brightness, set your brightness to the lowest possible and keep this state for some time. Also disable Auto-Brightness.
• After about ten minutes, set the brightness back to full and the screen wasn't flickering anymore.

Solution 5. Turn Reduce Transparency On (for iPhone)

The Reduce Transparency option makes the iPhone graphical workload less by removing some of the transparent aesthetic features Apple has put into iOS 9. Spotlight, for example, has a grey background with Reduce Transparency turned on instead a murky image of your home screen wallpaper.

• Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast -> Reduce Transparency
• Turn Reduce Transparency on.

After this, your iPhone will be as buttery smooth as a regular iPhone 6s.

Solution 6. DFU Restore Your iPhone (Data Wipe)

Follow this guide to put iPhone in DFU mode.

After your iPhone is in DFU mode, connect it to iTunes and iTunes will offer Update and Restore choices. Please select Restore to factory restore your device.
