Iphone SE touchscreen not accurate

hi guys..recently I bought iphone SE 32 gb and I am facing issues with the touchscreen. It is highly inaccurate at the corners. If i want to touch something at the corners then i have to touch it somewhere towards the center. Is there any way to caliberate touchscreen or should I go for replacement?

iPhone SE, iOS 12.0.1

Hello raunaq92,


Thanks for checking the steps from the article. Since the issue is still occurring, I recommend contacting AppleCare, or having your device checked at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store, as mentioned in the article I provided for the display which states:


If you don't see your issue listed or need more help, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.




Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Hello raunaq92,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities and asking about your iPhone SE and the display. I am happy to offer an article to check this out with you.


I recommend trying some troubleshooting here, specifically: Get help with the display on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

1. If your display doesn't respond to touch

If your display, or part of your display, doesn't respond, you might need to force restart your device:

On an iPhone 6s and earlier, iPad, or iPod touch: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.



and if it still occurs, try this:


2. If your display is too sensitive

If your display is too sensitive or doesn't respond to touch like expected:

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Make sure your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.
  3. Disconnect any Lightning accessories.
  4. Remove any cases or screen protectors.

If your display continues being too sensitive or completes actions without being touched, contact Apple Support.



If you still have issues, I recommend contacting AppleCare, or having your device checked at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store.


If you don't see your issue listed or need more help, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.




Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Hi Joseph_S

Thanks for replying. I tried all these steps but the issue is still there. I found an article for 5s and 5c. Since both 5s and se have same displays, so may be the display is faulty. Link for the article is The iPhone's Touch Screen Accuracy is 'Extremely Bad' Near the Edges [Report] - iClarified. According to this 5s display is highly inaccurate.

Kindly check.
