iPhone 13 Pro ios 16 touch screen freezes

A few times, my touch screen has stopped working…but not “entirely.” For example: While using an app, suddenly I can still scroll screen from left to right, but scrolling up & down stops/freezes. Anyone else?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
