iOS 17.1.1 - Issues with iPhone touch screen

This morning I updated my iPhone 15 pro (3 week old phone) to iOS 17.1.1. Prior to the update everything worked fine. After the update the touch screen does not respond. The screen works and the buttons work, but the touch feature is completely unresponsive. I have restarted the phone using the up vol, down vol and hold the power button several times with no success on restoring touch.

I can still wirelessly charge my phone, but wired charging does not work either. (this is also a new issue post 17.1.1 update)


Anyone else seeing these issues? Any suggestions before I go back to ATT?

FIXED!!!! Thank you to those that recommended Apple Configurator!! I downloaded it from App Store, connected my phone and followed Step 3 here... Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon using Apple Configurator – Apple Support (UK) (appreciate it's a Mac post but step 3 applies to iphones too)


No factory reset or loss of data or the pain of setting up banking apps and apple pay etc.... :)

This is *not* a valid solution, though it is a valid workaround. Answering “buy a Mac, then mess with Apple Configurator” (a tool that 99.999% of people here will have zero context of or history with) is simply not a valid ask.


Apple needs to step up, admit this is an issue, and fix it. They told me my only option was to literally mail my phone in for “repairs” and that it’d be wiped clean or I’d get a new one. That’s hilariously unacceptable. Thankfully I’m a software engineer by trade, but god help me if my mother across the country hits this issue.
