Apple to fix iPhone 6 Plus 'touch disease' for a fee

Touchscreens on smartphones that have this problem gradually become unresponsive.

The fault was highlighted by gadget sites which said it was caused by a manufacturing issue that meant some screen controller chips became loose.

Apple was criticised by one expert who said it was the phonemaker's responsibility to fix it.

Apple is charging $149 in the USA for the service that will only be available on phones that are "in working order".
