"My IPhone X refuses to let me type the letter y: Whenever I try using the letter y, it instead types a t and u. I had to use my phone in landscape to type this. This problem only happens in portrait mode."

It sounds like you have a hardware issue with the digitizer on your iPhone. This would require a visit to your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and options. And that may require you to pay Apple to replace the screen on your iPhone. Personally, I wouldn't invest that much money in an iPhone X, which can't even support the most recent iOS 17. But that's up to you.

Here's a link you can use to see the repair prices --> iPhone Repair & Service - Apple Support

If the screen needs to be replaced, it will be $279.
