iOS 11 touch screen issues 6S

After installing iOS onto my iPhone 6S I go to input my passcode and the touch screen does not work. I've hard reset my 6S more than 15 times. One of those times I got the touch screen to work. I was able to unlock the phone in. I had to reboot for some reason and the issue is back. I did not have this issue with my phone AT ALL before iOS 11 today. Except with the beta. Now I am stuck hard resetting my iphone. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?? Anyone know to downgrade back to iOS 10.3.3?


Update: Just got it to work after 10 more hard resets. I log in. After a while the screen goes back to passcode and the touch screen stops working again...WHATS GOING ON? I can unlock the phone using touch but that's about it. I'm getting tired of these software issues...

Apple has stopped signing 10.3.3 and i just updated to 11.0.2 now my phone is nothing but an overpriced brick that can do nothing as there is now no way to downgrade to 10.3.3

Apple please at least let us downgrade so that we can use our phones.

PLEASE

ALSO there is no place in my state or city that can replace the original genuine lcd display.

No Apple Service Centre.

I am so F***** up by ios 11.0.2


BTW if anyone has a signed backup of 10.3.3, will we be able to restore from that? if so is there anyone who can share???? Desperate

Are you sure? If the battery is worst than 11.0.1 and 2, it means that you were able to run those as well and we know that those cause the touchscreen issue. Are you sure you are talking about the same problem? The problem we are discussing here is that after installing iOS11 (including 11.1 beta 1, 11.0.1 and 11.0.2) the touch screen does not work at all. You cannot unlock your phone or do anything. Is this the problem you are referring to? Just to confirm.

Apple is trying a minor PR blitz in this by saying the issue is exclusive to out of house repaired screens. Apple would never think about taking resoonsibility for the issue, although they should. I've always had 3rd parties fix my screens have never had an issue until this update...hmmm...


When my contract is up and my screen breaks again, Pixel here I come!

Hi William, I have the same problem. My 6s has never seen the service center, its 14 months old and has not been dropped (no physical damage). Had an OTA download - chose upgrade later and in front of my eyes the screen stopped responding. Don't tell us its a hardware issue. When apple does not have an answer to their software glitches it says ""hardware issue"". Do you think all of us are fools?

Thanks Tomas,


However, I'm already running iOS 11.2.1, and have not found that any of the iOS 11 variants are much better than the others (I recall thinking that 11.0.3 was marginally better, but because the problems occur inconsistently, and I can occasionally have some days without occurrence, this may have been a wrong impression).


I will try turning off the lock screen, but this is a basic security feature and I would be quite unhappy if I had to live with the phone that way... and the problem is not a "lockscreen" issue... it occurs randomly (often in the middle of me doing something, using an app, or whenever)!


I'm at my wits end!

Thanks again, Tomas,


Wow... you are obviously more brave than me! I would be very uncertain about opening my phone and checking / unplugging the connections! I think it is unlikely these are an issue for me as (when the phone is working) everything is all very normal!


While I'm a mechanical engineer, I'm not a "technical" phone user. I prefer not to risk my investment doing something that might invalidate warranty, etc. Even doing things like entering DFU mode are a more than I'm very comfortable with, and I would only do that if an update had crashed (or something similar).


Regards,

David
