The update does show the “hello” stuff, but that should go away after first unlock.


If the display is missing touches or detecting ghost touches, the display is probably headed for replacement.


Given you’ve told us you’ve done everything (presumably including a forced restart), you’ll want to contact Apple Support and discuss your options and alternatives.
