My IPhone 5 has locked me out. It does not respond to touch. Lockscreen and shutdown turn on with power button. It was fully charged and put into 'Airplane' and 'Do Not Disturb' mode before this event. The command buttons work even to the extent that it will take a screenshot.
I just managed to solve my own problem. I pressed and held both the Start and Command buttons expecting to demonstrate that I could still take a screen shot. The phone timed out while doing this and then went into a totally unexpected Reboot. Everything worked after that! This 'Solution' may be a total fluke since the sequence of button presses and the duration of the 'buttons down' and 'Auto shut down' coincided without any deliberate intent on my part. Best of luck to anyone with the same issue. No guarantee that it will work for you. Try it by varying the button presses/hold down time. If you get a screen shot response try continuing the hold down (I did not get the screen shot response when this worked for me).

Just an afterthought. The phone was in 'Lock screen' when I did the above procedure.
The entire procedure may be a built-in hardware function I did not know about and lucked into.
I have no explanation for why the touch-command response stopped working in the first place.
THank you it worked I want to hug u right now
