Touchscreen dead spot

Has anyone had this happen?

Yesterday afternoon my iPhone XS Max started acting glitchy, it wouldn’t type the Y on the keyboard or anything in that general area and had problems swiping side to side.


I finally narrowed it down to a certain portion of the touchscreen and did a test to confirm this with a drawing app.


I restarted the phone several times and did numerous hard resets and finally backed up the phone to my computer and did a complete erase and reinstall. Nothing as worked.


I am trying to type this without using the Y as it’s still messed up, sorry for any mistyping. I can turn the phone sideways and use the keyboard however.


Here is a picture of the dead line, top to bottom it’s gone.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 12
