3D touch screen fail

Ever since update to iOS 11.3 the touchscreen has lost functionality. There appear to be non working touch pixels randomly throughout the screen that do nothing if a link needs to be clicked or when trying to cut and paste text, and touch pressure has to be constantly reset. Using iPhone 8+ currently running iOS 11.4.1

Well, we cannot know what you did or didn't, reset can mean many things.

Try and test these basic troubleshooting steps:

Restart / Force Restart

I posted because I’d like to know if anyone else has same problem.

Sorry, polling is also not allowed in this forum.

That’s what I do every time I said “have to reset”. As soon as I turn off the phone I lose 3D until I reset it again, and again, and...

Tech won’t authorize replacement because they can get it to work ~ even after I demonstrated it’s not permanent. I posted because I’d like to know if anyone else has same problem.

If they were done at the store at it didn't help then you must have a hardware problem. Did the offer to replace the phone either under warranty or an out-of-warranty replacement? If not go back and do so.


As to your question about others, I've never had 3D Touch fail, the person who got my last two phones that supported 3D Touch never had it fail, nobody I know who has a phone with 3D Touch has had it fail. So it isn't a global bug.


And regarding your request for name change I reported it again so they can contact you again.
