It looks like it might be a screen failure. Is the iPhone 6 recognized by iTunes on your computer?

If you haven't already done so, make a Genius Bar appointment at the closest Apple Store to have a diagnostic run on your phone. If this is a hardware problem it will be covered under the warranty. In that case, you should be offered a free repair or replacement with a new or refurbished device.

Please keep us updated.
 
Made the appointment iTunes dont recognize it can't do anything with it goes red then rainbow and black and won't start ...same happen to a friend of mine it was the screen plus hardware ...going to Apple store tomorrow will keep all posted.

Great that it was replaced, but it's a shame you had to go through it.

I'm surprised you had to get it diagnosed at the store. When I had issues with my iPhone 5 the person I spoke with was able to do a diagnosis over the phone. Shake it was a little past the one year warantee. It was the first time (after an iPhone 3G and 4) I didn't buy extra coverage. I'll never make that mistake again. Don't get me wrong, I'm an iPhone fan and I don't see that changing anytime soon, but I've had issues with every iPhone I've owned. Every model I had was replaced by Apple. The folk at the store were wonderful, but I wish it didn't have to come to that.

Anyway, I'm glad it was resolved for you!
 
Well so far this is the second iPhone I had replaced my 4 died after ios 7 updates and now this with 6 but because of what happen and that there was no way of getting the phone to turn on one could not diagnose the problem I know they offer it so had no choice but to go in . Since my 4 died I was on android till now I figured why not give it a try again and it craps out lol something that I have never seen with androids not to say they are better maybe just had better luck.
Anyhow it got replaced and it works fine I would say lot faster and smoother so far so good will see cos looking forward to seeing the Samsung s6 may have to get that too cos I like both platforms.
But for now I'm really liking this iPhone 6 specially the keyboard.
