iPhone 13 screen has intermittent unresponsive areas

Areas of my screen have occasionally been going unresponsive on my iPhone 13 on versions 26.4 and 26.5. I believe the touchscreen will work for some elements but not others.

For example, I will try to tap or swipe on the center of my screen and it will not work. Then, I pull down to enter control center and the whole screen will work, and I can then dismiss control center and tap the spot on my screen that was not previously working and it will be responsive.

In other cases, I will be able to put in my password, but then all screen elements after I log in are unresponsive or only responsive for a second. I can turn my phone off and repeat this process of putting in my password and the screen not working or only working for a second upwards of 20 times before it starts working again (other times it may immediately start working again, and I cannot discern a pattern for when it starts or stops).

On other occasions, I may only be able to swipe up a portion of my screen, but not enough to open up the password menu.

The screen itself is never frozen, just my ability to interact with it.

This has been an issue for about a month now and has remained an issue even after updating my phone.

What might my problem be, and how can I go about addressing it?
