Touch Screen Unresponsive

Hi I have a couple of issues regarding my iPhone XS.


  1. The touch screen is unresponsive even after a forced restart
  2. Decided to replace my phone, but unable to backup my phone to itunes
  3. Because I have to unlock my phone to use accessories
  4. And I am unable to unlock my phone as my touchscreen is unresponsive


As I am replacing my phone, I would need to backup my phone and also factory reset it.


Is there a way around this?


Please advise.


Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you


iPhone XS, iOS 13

Have you made an iTunes backup previously to any computer you still own? If so, there is a possibility that iTunes can make a new backup using the authorization you gave at the time of your first backup. This would allow you to make a new backup without having to use your touch screen.


Good luck.
