Touch screen issues while charging

When I charge my iphone 13 pro, touch screen doesn't work well and it's unresponsive. Very often I can't unlock my phone and keyboard doesn't work well. I tried to reset the phone, but it is still not working. Please help me.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Same issue. Brand new (2022-05-07) iPhone 13 Pro Max, magsafe case with HOLE for charging cable. With case on, and charger plugged in, touch screen is horrible. Take the case off and touch screen is normal. This is a terrible design flaw. Shame on you Apple! If the case is designed to ONLY allow mag safe charging then do NOT put a hole where the charging cable goes

i also have this issue with my new iphone 13 and im using an original Samsung adapter 🤨

That problem is caused by a defective cable, not the adapter. A Samsung adapter should work as long as the cable is either Apple or certified Made for iPhone. Cheap “gas station” cables may not work, and can actually destroy your phone→Why Counterfeit Lightning Cables Kill iPhones - Motherboard


But sometimes even good quality cables fail.

The warranty on accessories is the same as a phone. But first see if that is the problem; a screen that misbehaves only when plugged in is almost always the cable. If it happens when not plugged in then it’s the screen. Cable failure is fairly common. If there is any sign of damage on the cable don’t use it. Even if there is no obvious damage there are 4 microcircuits in the lightning connector, and they can fail for no reason.

Hi has your problem been solved? I have the same problem, I just bought mine last Oct 21 (ip13) and I used the phone while charging (for the first time due to my fear that I might damage the battery if I keep on using it while the phone is on charge) yesterday and I noticed that I had difficulties in typing a message and touching the screen, opening apps etc. I noticed this when the phone is hot because it was charging, around 60%-70%. I have the same orig cable and the adapter is a $12 usb-c that is an apple but I bet it's fake for the price.
