IPhone X ghost touch iOS 15

  • #1

Is anyone else experiencing so called ghost touch issue after the update?
After 15.3 I noticed when using the iphone 11 that screen won't shut down and it scrolls up.
Very annoying, plus it scrolls up on the apps.
I literaly have to shut the screen down with a button.
Tried the reset all settings thing, didn't help.
Was hoping anyone have any tips or similar experience?

Note, phone worked just fine, and has not been dropped, noticed it actually while it was sitting on my desk.

There hasn't been a 15.3.1 update. 15.3 is the current public release.. My iPhone X on 15.3 hasn't had ghost touch issues for comparison. Did you update OTA or using iTunes?

You might try restoring the device using iTunes (if possible) and see if it clears up. The X had display diver issues and Apple extended the warranty for the display to 3 years from original purchase date. Unfortunately, that warranty has probably expired depending how old your phone is. I know you said it started after the update so restoring is your best bet as I'm sure that the first thing Apple will try..

Thanks for your replay. I’ll try it and will post an update. I will also check if the warranty is still valid but I doubt it
