My iPhone is acting on its own

My phone randomly every ten seconds, my phone starts to act on its own. It doesn't respond to me tapping on my screen, I can't manually tap anything on my own. How do I fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

IPhone 14 screen not responding in top left corner in most apps In some apps I open, the top left screen on my iPhone 14 pro max is not responsive. If there’s a back button or any kind of situation where I need to interact with that corner, it’s difficult to find the right place to touch the screen. Anyone else having that issue?

iPhone 14 Pro Max Horizontal Lines Across Screen When Phone Wakes Up Hi there, I got brand new iPhone and I noticed that when the phone wakes up, horizontal lines flash on the screen. It doesn't happen everytime, just randomly. But it occurs more often when you watch video before your screen turns off. I don't remember I saw those lines before iOS 16.2 but I have that phone just for 2 weeks. I visited a reddit forum and 4 people said they have the same issue which means (hopefully) it should not be a hardware issue. But I need to know more. Could you please help?

Proximity sensor iPhone 14 Pro Max Have an issue with proximity sensor. When I receive a call and see the slide to answer there is lock icon in dynamic island. I put it in my ear and screen goes off (correct) but when I move it away from my ear (to see the screen), the screen has a delay to show for 2 seconds. If I unlock the phone the delay goes away! Of course everything works ok when I call someone (because the phone it's already unlocked). Proximity sensor works great then. So what I mean is that proximity sensor is slow to lighten screen when the phone is locked. With my previous iPhone 13 Pro everything is ok. Any thoughts?

Have you tried a forced restart? If so and you still have problems, your screen may be failing. Get it checked at an Apple Store or Apple authorized service center.
