My iPhone has a huge ghost touch problem. Started randomly about a week ago. Tried cleaning multiple times. I don’t use a screen protector. If I switch off my screen it functions well again for 3-5 minutes after which again I get the ghost touch problems. It is around the g, h region on the keyboard mostly when in vertical mode. Please help me!
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15
Try a "forced" restart of your 12, using these instructions:--> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support
If the issue persists, it might be a hardware (digitizer? screen? other internal component?) problem, but we, just users like you, cannot diagnose that issue remotely, sorry.
I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

Apparently applying a decent quality screen protector prior to which I properly cleaned my screen with an alcohol based wet wipe, and some sticker adhesive, has solved my ghost touch problems.
Hey Manas,
Anshuman this side. I am too having the same ghost touch issue and it’s exactly the same as you have described. Let me know if you got any solution, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!
(I do have the same model with same issues)
Many friends of mine using one of the latest iPhones seem to have this problem. Either there's some hardware problem with the iPhones Apple shipped to India or it's a software issue.
Here's what I can suggest you to do: (I wanted to avoid getting a screen replacement as I could just buy a flagship android phone for that price)
About my experience with my 1month old iPhone 11, the ghost touch activates while my phone is on charge. This started when my phone was just 3 weeks.
I have also been having the same issue and the apple store replaced my screen and that made it go away for a while but the issue has come back again already
