Tech Tip: Touch issues on the iPhone 11
The iPhone 11 has recently seen a surge of touch related issues which have been acknowledged by many including Apple. This article covers the common symptoms, causes, resolutions. We have also included a summary on the recently introduced Apple Display Module Replacement Program to address the issue for affected devices. Common Symptoms- Touch not responding at all or only in certain places
- Touch screen moving on its own while the screen or device is not being touched
- Touch intermittently working
- Cause: Display flex not fully connected
- Resolution: Carefully disconnect and reconnect the screen ensuring that the display flex cables are fully seated into the connectors on the board.
- Cause: Pinched flex cable between screen and frame
- Resolution: Ensure the display flex is not pinched between the screen and frame. Inspect the flex cables to ensure that damage is not present. Use a spudger to carefully push the flex out of the way when sealing the device.
- Cause: Defective screen
- Resolution: Test/install a new or different screen. If the issues persist, the cause is most likely related to the board and not the screen.
- Cause: Software issues
- Resolution: Go to Settings/General/Reset/Reset All Settings. This will typically clear any software related items conflicting with the new display.
