Note that although the article below refers to iPhone 6's as "aging phones", none of them are as old as two years.

iPhone 6 owners are noticing a problem with their aging phones. The touchscreens are slowly getting less and less responsive until, suddenly, a grey bar starts flickering at the top and the touchscreen stops working altogether. It’s called ‘Touch Disease,” and it might be the ultimate fate of almost every iPhone 6.

If you’re willing to violate your warranty, the team at iFixit, who originally discovered the issue, have a pretty easy solution. Anybody decent with micro-soldering will be able to reconnect the chips, provided they’re still good, and get your phone back up and running. Unfortunately, though, Apple Stores and Apple’s certified repair shops aren’t allowed to micro-solder, so you’ll have to buy a whole new logic board for the phone instead.
The conspiracy-minded might note this problem is first appearing conveniently right when two years are up and a new iPhone is about to make its debut. We’ll take the high road and leave it there.
