iPhone XR touchscreen partially unresponsive after heat exposure
I updated my iPhone XR to 18.5 and later that day I put it in my pick up truck. Forgot about it until late at night and I said I’ll I’ll just get it in the morning. So I got to the truck at noon time and saw that the phone was shut off on a heat warning. So I cooled it down and I just stuck it on my dashboard in a vehicle on it naturally cool down by the air conditioning and when I went to use it the bottom 1/4-1/2”
was unresponsive. So it makes it impossible to do anything even with only that small of an area unresponsive. So now I’ve got a dilemma. I’ve tried the fixes the reset volume up volume down, hold it until the Apple logo comes on. I wiped it clean and now I’m thinking about going here and getting my an earlier back up if that’s the problem or I’m trying to figure out if it’s a hardware problem or a software problem is there any diagnostic stuff that I can get? In other words to tell me whether it’s a hardware problem or if it’s the digitizer or if the known glitch in the 18.5 that renders sometimes screens unresponsive. It’s a beautiful phone yeah it’s older, but it doesn’t have a mark on it it’s always been dependable. It’s the first problem I’ve ever had so yeah I don’t know what else to. I don’t know what else what other information to give the question is if I did the reset and got nowhere with that what other steps can I take and/or of like a real diagnostic? They can tell me if it’s one or the other yeah I know I probably repeated myself a dozen times here. thank you for your help in advance. I’ll be looking for answers. Thank you
