iPhone 13 touch screen irresponsive when plugged in the charger (20W) My iPhone 13 touch screen became irresponsive (does not scroll continuously and doesn’t always click when tapping stuff) when plugged in the charger (20W) and laid down on a flat surface. As soon as i remove it from the charger or hold it up with my hand, the touch screen responsiveness gets back to normal. Any idea why this is happening ? i just bought my iPhone a few days ago, do you think I should return it back while I can?

Charging causes glitchy screen Why is it that when I'm using my phone while it's charging, the screen will move on it's own while I'm touching it as if it's being pulled in the opposite direction? And sometimes it prevents my touch from being registered. I can put several fingers on the screen at once and have no problem. It's only when charging and my boyfriend's iPhone has no problems.

Yes, there's an easy solution. Throw out the cable you are using and get a new one. That's a symptom of a defective Lightning cable.

And the replacement needs to be either an Apple cable or one certified as Made for iPhone.
