Do you carry the phone in your pocket, with the screen against your body? If so, your body contact can “butt enter” the passcode several times and fail. That symptom has only one cause: too many failed unlock attempts. Nothing else will cause that screen to appear.


If you DO carry the phone in your pocket without a protective case (something I would never recommend for a $1,000 device), go to Settings/TouchID[FaceID]& Passcode and turn off Raise To Wake.


Also carry the phone with the screen away from your body. A broken screen can be replaced; if the back glass breaks the phone cannot be repaired and must be replaced.


Yes, and Bubba is correct; a failing screen digitizer can also cause entry of invalid passcodes.
