Attention iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus users! Have you ever received a call from someone and when you went to answer the phone you just couldn’t swipe to answer? I don’t mean yours hands weren’t free, I mean when you keep swiping but your phone just was not answering the call. Or have you ever had an alarm on your phone go off but you couldn’t turn it off? Well you are not alone. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus have started experiencing a mechanical failure which has appropriately been named “Touch Disease”. It is typically first noticed as a gray bar showing up at the top of the screen. “Touch Disease” is when, overtime, the touch screen functionality begins to fail. It starts off very sporadically. This has caused users to think that it was just a small glitch. Ignoring the issue and continuing to use the phone users find that eventually it starts to occur more and more often. The end result is complete touch screen functionality failure, thus leaving iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users with a useless device.

Most people would then think that the simple fix to this would be taking it into an Apple Store and having the screen fixed. Well, apparently not. Apple is currently facing a several lawsuits. The two more commonly known lawsuits are from Utah and California. Three users from Utah have started a class action lawsuit against Apple. They took the phones in and explained the issue. They were told by Apple that they were not going to fix them and that they were all going to have to purchase new phones. SImilar results have been seen in California as well as other states.

McCuneWright, LLP, a litigation firm, actually has a way for you to join the class action lawsuit that they have against Apple. They will keep people involved updated. Click the following link to join the lawsuit against Apple. By giving your information you will also be updated as more information become available. http://mccunewright.com/iphone-6-touchscreen-defec...


It is recommended anyone who faces this problem report it to Apple so that they have record of yet another phone experiencing “Touch Disease”.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
