iPhone SE (2020) right side of screen not responding to touch

The right side of my screen (around 1cm wide) suddenly stopped responding to touch. The phone has never been dropped or exposed to moisture. Forced restarting and even a full restore didn't fix the issue. See the attached screenshot where I tried to fill in a note. For now I'm using left handed assist on the keyboard so I can use all the keys...

I found a thread where people had the same issue with the iPhone XS here.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution? I'm hoping I don't need to replace the screen.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Not a fix,

just a way around,

I use the zoom controller feature,

which is annoying but at least it works

Hope it helps

Have the same problem. Turned off my phone during a performance for a couple of hours, and when switched it back - the right sight didn't respond. Trying to update, hope it will solve the problem.
