Literally, the sides of my iPhone 12 don’t work

This started randomly like a day ago or two and I can’t press some letters on my keyboard. I can’t use some apps. I’ve connor the Notes app and I could try to draw on the sides. It cut through halfway in. I don’t know what’s going on with it and I need help I’ll try restarting it multiple times at least 10 throughout the whole day I’ve tried resetting, hard resetting and it wouldn’t work either way and I’ve tried powering it off for like a whole minute straight and it’s not doing anything. I thought it was glitching. The sides of my screen aren’t working. I need help so if anyone knows what’s going on so I need to go to Apple Store to get it fixed or what do I need to do?

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Troubleshooting an Unresponsive iPhone Screen:


A. Battery Corrosion:

Do you see any bulges on the iPhone, itself? If so, the iPhone is expanding, and that becomes a health hazard. So, setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. See where things go from there.


B. Perform a Force Restart:
