How To Fix iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr Touch Screen Problems
First off, we will like to say that the cause of the touchscreen problems might be as a result of hardware damaged (damage while shopping or you’ve dropped it a couple of times) and if that is the case, then the there is nothing we can do for you.

Remove The Screen Protector (if any) and Case
Screen Protectors, as well as cases, are meant to protect out phones in the event of a drop. However, in some cases, it actually does more harm than good to our devices.

The factory reset process should start immediately, once it is done, your phone will restart and you can now set it up, just like a new iPhone.
