iPhone 12 mini touchscreen issues

I chose the iphone mini because this is the only "small" phone.. i switched from xperia z5 compact :) so the screen size isn't the problem, mini has larger screen.. but the phone size is same :)

It's less than a week since i'm on an iphone, so i have to get used to things, but it feels like the tocuh issue isn't 100% solved :/

I have an problem retrieving the the search bar to find an app. After swiping down from top, all that happens is my full screen turns grey. Then everything locks up. I have to click the right side button that leads to a black screen. Then I need to sweep up from bottom to open up my home page again. Still no ability to search.

I've found I need to power off the phone entirely to enable this search feature to appear when I swipe down from the top. I already have the latest software 14.2.1.

Has anyone else experienced this?

To get to the app search you should just be swiping to the left from your home screen and the search bar should appear above the apps & widgets below. Swiping from the top down from your home screen shows your notifications.

Mine doesn't seem to be working that way. I tried swiping from top from the home screen and saw notifications just as you suggested. But when repeated that action, a search bar opened along with Siri suggestions apps. Strange.

Thanks for trying to solve.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to get to this Search field

I confess that I am not an expert on all iPhone GUI commands, but the only way that I know to get to this is by swiping from left to right in the locked screen, and by swiping from left to right in the unlocked Home Screen after minimizing or closing any active app.

Others with more user ability than me may be able to offer other guidance.

By the way, another way to get to an app search files is to scroll all the way to the right from your Home Screen (when the phone is unlocked). That will get you here.

The difference between this one and the one you get to when you scroll left is that, in this search files you can only search for apps in your library of apps; on the one that you get to when you scroll left, you can search for anything (like a contact, a web search, a song, etc.).

Same here. The weirdest thing is when the phone is laying on the table or anywhere else so im not holding it and im using my thumb the screen is unresponsive - any other finger, it works.

Did anyone manage to tell apple that problem persists even after 14.2.1 update

Since the iOS 14.2.1 update I had burly experienced touch screen issues, but right now so am having trouble with the upper left area of the screen not responding (see image below). This is the case in the Home Screen and in any app that I open which contains a command icon in that area (i.e., a back arrow, a close “X”, etc.).

That iOS didn’t resolve any problems.

$1,000 and I wish I’d gotten a different iPhone.

does Apple care about this, at all?

im so exhausted and frustrated with taking it in to Verizon, Geek Squad multiple times and getting no help. 🤯

My 2week old iPhone 12 pro max was giving me messages that there was water in my phone, so it wouldn’t charge.

the Best Buy guys put on my case and screen protector, so what the h is that?

I cut off my case and took off the screen protector.

the touch is still not working well, even without the protector.

and, it scrolls back to top by itself.

I want my old iPhone 7+ back...

Even though I just got the new iPhone mini and have iOS 14.2.1, I’m still having the exact same issues everyone is describing. Will update to 14.3 hoping for a change because the issues are really annoying even though it previously only affected accepting calls and Lock Screen issues. I’ve noticed while playing games on my phone I can’t swipe left or right on the portion of the screen that you swipe to accept a call.

I think the problem is inherit in the design of the iPhone 12 Mini. I haven't heard of this problem on any of the new 12G models. I'll keep doing this until Apple finally has a fix. I like the "Mini" size. Other than that the phone works just fine. The new chip is very fast.

Yes, it is a big issue, although my phone works relatively good, but if I want take a call a have to swipe twice or more. And also when I am scroll a long websites, it sometimes doesn’t recognise my touch. I am a fan of apple product , but this is disappointing. I really hope , they could fix it by software update. Otherwise the next phone will be other brand.

I'm an Apple user since 1990 for desktop publishing and also an iPhone user, but I have had several of the top Samsung Galaxy phones and they are both about equal. It depends on the way you like to use them. I would wait for Apple to fix the issues. They always want to be the best.

So I bought MagSafe phone case to compare it to the generic phone case i bought. It is a lot easier to open the phone with the MagSafe. But the camera and flash light still don’t work when trying to open on the Lock Screen. It is very frustrating
