iPhone XS screen right side not responding for touching

Hi! Ever since I upgraded to 13.6.1 my screen’s right side faults to respond touching . It’s very strange because it doesn’t work all across the edge straight from the bottom to the top (see the screenshot, I tried to fill a note with a pencil). I actually have to flip my phone and type horizontally because the buttons on the right aren’t reachable.

Yesterday I tried switching the screen to larger mode in the settings and then switched back to standard and it helped for a while. But then it failed again and remains unresponsive until now. Any ideas what it could be caused by and what should I do now? I didn’t go for repairs service yet cause it doesn’t look like a hardware issue. Thanks!

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Hey!!

I have an iPhone x with the same problem.

i would like to share some information I have gathered till now and according to my knowledge

It's definitely a software issue!
the occurrences of this problem also depends on the temperatures maybe cold or hot.

Temporary hack for me:

For me It can be solved by turning on or off the dark mode just selecting the opposite theme make things better for me
Making phone hot or cold by running apps or freezing it in the freezer.
keeping the phone aside and letting the phone heal itself.
When trying the unresponsive keyboard letter for example letter P a lot of times, as soon as p clicks continue with other letter as normal typing rather than testing the p again and again.

Also please upvote this so that our other fellows can also know about this hack and skip the display changing costs!!!

i'm also attaching some screen shots of before and after which is denoted by black and green

Last But Not The Least

Apple's a bitch!!! the quality they serve now is pathetic! Cannot be worse than this, I got an iPhone x but the the program for my model has long been expired as it says 3 years from first retail!

It isn't my fault then why should i pay for it! Even why should I suffer for it! My whole family uses apple and among them why I'm the only unlucky person!

It was lot better until SOMEONE came and replaced Steve!
