Touch screen inconsistent

Hi. No physical damage but iPhone not responding to all touch input. So, necessary to touch multiple times for some characters to be recorded. This is inconsistent. Thanks

If you're sure that nothing (case/cover, screen protector, dirt) interferes with your touch screen activity (remove any obstacles, if present), try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


If the issue persists, I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
