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.

Since the display is a hardware, you can't fix it yourself. Schedule an appointment at a Genius Bar or the nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
