iPhone6 touchscreen problems

I reset mine and that worked for a few days but since I installed the latest update it will not go away it has issues with the right hand side where the back space button is unresponsive and p pushes "ppi" and o either pushes "i" or "p" and l pushes "kl"

I got my iphone 6 in June 2015. It began to stop working down the middle of the key pad off and on immediately. I was unable to deal with it right away but did take it into the Verizon store twice where it worked in the store. But shortly thereafter it stopped altogether. To say I hate this phone would be an understatement. I have a bedridden sick child that prevents me from running to stores. I have to voice text or not at all. hard resets do nothing.

Got the i phone 6, space grey 64MB also today and both left and right sides of the screen are at times not very responsive to touch or the touch has to be very exact.. I did put a skin on the screen but never before has an iPhone acted like this even before the skin completely dries. On the keyboard both the A and the L are not sensing touch well. Earlier I couldn't scroll from either side but the middle worked fine. Been using the phone 3 hours now and seems to be improving a bit or maybe I'm compensating.

Anyone else noting the same issue as we two?

I'm seeing the same issue. The "A" and the left shift keys often ignore the touch and some keys on the right had side as well.

Continued usage through the day seems to be helping for some weird reason so I'm not sure if I'm adjusting my behavior or the hardware is getting better somehow.

I Have a 128gig Silver and I'm having the exact same problem

Same issue

Left shift and A are worst on keyboard, also both upper corners are very unresponsive.

Same here, iphone6 silver 64GB. Left shift key and "a" only responding if I hit it exactly right or try several times. The corners of the screen also need several tries to get a response.

Seeing the exact same thing (partially unresponsive "spots" on the touchscreen.) In my case, the upper left of the screen seems to be the worst affected, requiring me to forcibly push it to get it to register, although I have also seen this happen sometimes on the lower portion of the screen, around the A/L keys, delete button and the space bar.

Have tried power cycling the phone, that seems to work for a while but then it starts happening again.

I too thought it was my screen protector so I removed it but it is still occurring, so I don't think that's it.

A quick question to everyone who is experiencing this issue: did you restore from an iTunes/iCloud backup or did you NOT restore from backup and set up your phone as if it were new ("clean install" style)? I restored from backup and am wondering if somehow my backup contained corrupted/weird data that is causing this. (I have had other weird things happen in the past that got solved by doing a complete wipe and running through the whole "new phone" setup procedure)

In restored from a backup.

As I am going to return it for a new one, I can try the other way and configure it as a new device from the scratch.

I restored from Backup, but it is only a guess as to if this has made any difference in the problem being observed by all of us. I was on the phone signing up for AppleCare Plus for iPhone when I mentioned to the AppleCare Representative that I was seeing a recurring problem with the edge of the touch screen being non-responsive. I told her that I didn't think it was just my typing but rather a problem that others would soon be reporting in volume across the Apple Support Communities. This Tread is the first that I have seen others experiencing it. I have no idea if this is a one-off iPhone display issue that would be solved by trading the device for another one, or if this is a model-wide issue that will have to be addressed in future iOS releases. In any case, I am actually happy to see that it just wasn't my fat fingers.

I have the same issue. the touchscreen it stop responding intermittently and only in particular spots mainly around the edges of the phone. I initially thought it may just be me getting used to the new size but the issue has become frequent and recurring.

I've got the 64gb/space grey/iOS 8.0 I restored from a backup which looks like most people did. i've taken it back to the apple store to see if I can get it under a DOA they were able to replicate the issue. I'm getting it replaced once they have the stock, i'll let you know if I get the same issue once its replaced.

Another reset and I checked for the "a" and "shift" when entering the WiFi-Passkey. It works.

Then I chose to setup it as a new device and from the first impressions, the keyboard works just fine. Now I need to install some apps to test it.

I don't like the fact that I need to configure it from the scratch, because after several years with my iPhones, that will be a lot of work. But if that's what it takes....

Update: I did a complete wipe of the device and set it up as a new device rather than restore from backup. So far in my limited testing the touchscreen seems to be acting like it should, i.e. no dead spots. Currently in the process of syncing some apps along with music, movies, etc. so we shall see if it continues to behave itself.

Having trouble with the delete key... thought I was going mad so glad to see its not just me!!

Having the same problem. Typing is frustratingly inaccurate and slow. Restored from backup.
