iPhone 11 iOS 26 - the touchscreen stopped working

I am the owner of an iPhone 11. After updating to iOS 26 (public version), the touchscreen stopped working - I can’t swipe up or enter the passcode, which means I can’t unlock the device or interact with it in any way. Forced restart and similar methods haven’t helped. How can I fix this?

iPhone 11, iOS 26

iPhone 13 touchscreen not responding The touchscreen on my iphone 13 is not responding at all. I cannot get my phone to unlock to get in to settings. I tried to restart it, but when the slider to power the phone off appears, I can't slide it because the touchscreen won't do anything. My lock screen widgets are functioning but not responding. Clicking on notifications doesn't do anything. I tried to get Siri to open an app but the phone needed unlocked and it wouldn't do Face ID, it needed my code, which I can't enter because of the touchscreen. I removed the screen protector and case but nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to have to wipe my phone since I have a lot of un backed up photos.

If forced restart does not help it probably has a failed screen. Get an estimate at https://support.apple.com/repair
