Phone presses enter by itself and keeps starting a new line

Ive had this problem with my Iphone 11 from the moment ive updated it to ios 17. I assumed that i would not have the same problem when i would upgrade to a new phone. I now have an iphone 16 plus, and it does the exact same thing. It started doing it the same day i got it out of the box. Cleaning the screen or removing the protector does not help. I reset all of my phone settings, did not help. Ive restarted the phone numerous times, did not do anything. Turned off every auto-correction feature the keyboard has. It keeps starting new lines at random, even when pressing letters that are very far away from the enter button.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

It may be “ghost touch” - If it only happens when plugged in, you need a new cable. If it happens other times your screen digitizer has failed; contact Apple to get it analyzed and replaced if necessary→iPhone Screen Repair & Replacement - Official Apple Support
