About the iPhone 6 Plus
The iPhone 6 Plus (models A1522, A1524, A1593) was Apple's first phablet, a 5.5-inch Retina HD display that answered years of demand from folk who wanted a proper big-screen iPhone. Released alongside the iPhone 6 in September 2014, the 6 Plus came with optical image stabilisation on the 8MP camera, a feature the standard model didnae get. The A8 chip and M8 coprocessor handled the larger screen smoothly, and the bigger 2915 mAh battery delivered noticeably better stamina than its smaller sibling. For anyone who wanted the biggest iPhone experience available at the time, the 6 Plus was the one to get. Our Dundee repair shop on Perth Road handles all 6 Plus repairs.
The iPhone 6 Plus does have a bit of a reputation, mind. The thin aluminium frame was prone to bending under pressure in trouser pockets. You might remember "bendgate" from the news. That chassis flex also led to touch disease, where the touch IC solder joints crack and cause a grey flickering bar across the top of the display. We have seen our fair share of both issues at our West End workshop. Beyond those quirks, the usual age-related problems apply, cracked screens, batteries that barely make it to lunchtime, home buttons where Touch ID has given up, and Lightning ports worn down from thousands of charge cycles. Our technicians have over 20 years' combined experience and have repaired countless 6 Plus units with every possible fault.
The iPhone 6 Plus is the model most commonly affected by touch disease and bendgate. If your screen has a grey bar or your phone has a visible curve, bring it in for a assessment before the damage gets worse.
The iPhone 6 Plus came in three model variants: A1522 for North America (covering both GSM and CDMA networks), A1524 for the international market including Europe and most of Asia, and A1593 which was exclusive to China Mobile. All three variants use identical screens, batteries, and internal components.

Can you fix bendgate on an iPhone 6 Plus?
If the frame has bent, we can do a full housing replacement which straightens everything out and replaces the aluminium shell. It is a bigger job but it properly fixes the problem rather than just bending it back. Drap it in for a quote.
What causes the grey bar on my iPhone 6 Plus screen?
That is touch disease - the touch IC chips on the logic board lose their solder connections, usually from the phone flexing over time. It is a board-level repair. Gee'z a call at our Dundee shop and we'll walk you through the options.
How much does an iPhone 6 Plus screen replacement cost in Dundee?
The 5.5-inch 6 Plus screen is a bit more than the standard iPhone 6 but still very reasonable. Give us a ring or message for the latest price. We use quality replacement screens and the repair takes about 45 minutes.
Is the iPhone 6 Plus still usable in 2026?
It runs iOS 12 at most, so app support is very limited. But for basic tasks like calls, texts, music, and taking photos, it works fine. A battery replacement can give it another couple of years of light use. We'll give you honest advice.
Can you fix an iPhone 6 Plus camera that won't focus?
Aye, the 6 Plus camera module with OIS can develop focusing issues over time. We can source replacement camera assemblies and usually have it sorted the same day at our Perth Road workshop.
My iPhone 6 Plus charges intermittently - can you fix that?
Almost certainly. Intermittent charging usually means the Lightning port is worn or full of debris. We replace the full dock assembly which covers the charging port, microphone, and headphone jack. Usually done in under an hour.
