iPhone Touchscreen Glitch While Charging - Need Help and Insight!
Hey fellow iPhone enthusiasts, I've been facing a quirky issue with my iPhone's touchscreen when it's charging, and I'm reaching out to the community for insights and solutions. Here's the lowdown:
Problem:
The touchscreen doesn't respond as expected when my phone is charging. It's akin to the sensation of trying to use a wet touchscreen.
Observations:
- Occurs when charging through USB port on my PC.
- Happens with both the Original Apple Charger and Anker Charger.
- No screen guard in use.
Potential Cause:
It seems the issue is related to the lack of grounding in the iPhone. When my finger touches the camera ring or the stainless steel frame, the problem disappears. I experimented by placing the phone on an insulating surface, and the screen became glitchy.
Experiment I Haven't Tried Yet:
Using a 3-pin USB charger, as the third pin could provide grounding for excess current.
Hypothesis:
iPhones might be designed to function optimally without cases, with your hand directly in contact with the device's frame.
Questions for the Community:
- Has anyone else encountered a similar touchscreen issue while charging?
- Any insights on using a 3-pin USB charger for grounding?
- Could using an iPhone with a case and the 'recommended' 2-pin Apple charger affect the phone's lifespan?
Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions! 📱✨
