IPhone 5S touch screen issues

Hi! I have a lot of issues with the touch screen of my iPhone 5S! the touch screen have areas without response! but not always the sames areas!
each picture represent the different areas without response in the touch screen! are not the same in some cases!
I´m writing from Argentina, so we don´t have apple store here to go to replace the cellphone or repair it! I could buy the whole touch screen and replace it by my self, but I don´t know if is only a problem with the touch screen or maybe an issue with the battery or other hardware components!
Sorry for my English! thank you in advance!

Hi there Psycho_ar,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Iphone 6+ touch screen issue erratic behavior

iphone 6+ touch screen erratic behavior. the main issue started this week, it comes and goes, and starts with inability to even swipe the unlock slider, and which mimics that of trying to use phone with a wet hand. when tying who knows what will actually happen, app in use closes, opens, you end up on a different message while trying to respond to someones text. clearly my inputs are not at all related to what the phone thinks is being pushed. have done partial, settings, and a full restore and issues came back 2 days later. deleted flesky and any apps installed in the last 30 days and the issues persist. case on or off, factory charger and cables, zero moisture exposure all irrelevant to this issue manifesting itself.
at this point i am thinking hardware and only because behavior of touch screen has been marginally flakey the last 6-8 weeks prior, i thought it might be certain apps, but certain areas of the touch screen seemed unresponsive especially near the center. those issues too intermittent, and because they were minor, i wrote them off to the apps themselves, or perhaps some bug in iOS8 that would be fixed in an update.
so it seems likely the earlier issues were real and related to the phone and not too specific apps. whatever it is it needs to be addressed immediately by apple as it is clear my issues are not isolated. i do not have hours to spend at some genius bar trying to prove an intermittent issue exists.
apple, what is your response?

Having the same issues with my 6+. I've also seen these vertical stripes around the upper right of the screen periodically as well. I did some searches here and tried resetting the phone and a full restore from backup. It seemed to resolve it for a little while then the erratic behavior came back.
Today, I took it to the Genius Bar today and they are replacing the LCD screen under warranty. When I get it back, I'll do another full restore and hope that fixes the issue.
What's most frustrating is I've been an iPhone owner since the 3G and never experienced issues with the touchscreen like this.

WT10-A Touch screen Issues

I bought this less than a week ago and i am having issues with the touch screen. It just stops working all of a sudden for no reason and i have to restart to make it work. It will work fine for hours sometimes but sometimes i have to restart every five minutes. Can someone please help me solve this issue. ThanksKarman

I'm no scientist (although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express)... but do you think that perhaps the touch screen issues a lot of folks are experiencing could be due to liquid evaporation? Maybe these people are leaving the iPhone in a hot car (or some other really warm place) for an extended period and not admitting it? I mean it is summertime.
Not liquid, but you could be onto something.
Heat is one of the few things that can cause a capacitive screen system go out of calibration, due to the effect on surrounding part specs. Perhaps that's what we're seeing.
I suppose someone with the problem could stick their phone in the refrigerator (not freezer!) for ten minutes and see if that cures their problem.
More likely, there are several different problems going on, and what works for one won't work for others.
My biggest suspicion is that a memory interface is on the edge (either power or timing), and thus weird glitches show up. Restorting the device only when it is fully charged might be one experiment. Give us a dozen bad devices, the source code, a lab with an ICE, and a coupla weeks... and we could figure out what's going on.

iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

Hello there, shankate1993.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response on your iOS device:
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Fix your touchscreen
Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Unplug your device.
Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

IPhone 6 touch screen spazzing out

My new iPhone 6 touch screen randomly goes nuts. At first it was just a dead spot on the screen where the y key was located, it wouldn't let me touch anything there, then this issue stopped abruptly. Now it's just doing stuff on its own, opening apps and rapidly going from one app to another when I barely even touch it. (For instance, I opened Facebook and it randomly selected a person's status, jumped back to the newsfeed, went back to the status, copied someone's comment, went to search and pulled up a new person's profile, closed, opened YouTube, then I locked it and unlocked it to find Safari open. All within a few seconds.) I tried a hard reset, and the issue is persisting. I'm starting to hate this thing. It's such a nice phone, except for all this. Anything I can do, or do I just have to complain to the Verizon store and have them send me a new one?

Is anyone with a Macbook experiencing interference with their iPhone's touch screen?

At first I thought my iPhone's touch screen was broken so I contacted apple. Before we could finish our chat, my internet crashed and we couldnt finish. Tonight I'm on my MacBook air wathcing Netflix and trying to use my iphone to text. The interference is so bad that when i hold my thumb on the screen in one spot, the phone will scroll for itself and typing is practically impossible. Is anyone else expierencing this problem? This problem didn't exist with my 4, But when I use my computer, my 5S is practically impossible to use near my Mac.

Nope.

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Restart your iPhone...
Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent. Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen. Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

Iphone 5 touch screen freezes, is my iPhone defective?

My iPhone 5 touch screen frequently freezes. If I leave it alone it will be OK in a couple of minutes. Is this a common problem or do I have a defective iPhone?

I have a similar problem, but waiting does not solve it. If I cycle the power button it will work again, but it keeps happening and it is really annoying. I have had the phone since it came out, and only started haveing this problem in the last couple of days. I have tried a reset -- makes no difference.

On my phone, the screen fails to register the finger gesture appropriately, for instance, a tap on the screen will be identified as scroll up. single touch on the back button will be registered as many taps, ultimately exiting the application.

My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive

My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive and I can not slide the arrow to unlock the screen or to poweroff the phone. I have reinstalled from my backup several times and still no change. I even rebooted the phone by holding the power switch and the hom ebutton, but still no changes.
I'm wondering if i need to do a clean reinstall of the software to fix the problem or replace the phone (since it's still under warranty).
Any suggestions

sounds like you really didn't fix it correctly, doesn't it? Since you did the work yourself, Apple won't even touch your phone now. You'll need to bring it into a 3rd party repair shop.

My iPhone 4S touch screen is unresponsive and my Sleep/Wake button is also unworking.

Hi. I have been having this bro;em yesterday and also today when i woke up. My Verizon iPhone 4S touch screen is un responsive sometimes then it workes other times. My Sleep/WAke button also doesnt work. My phone thinks that my sleep button is always being pushed so if my touch sreen is working i can do anything becuase my phone puts it self to sleep when i unlock it. I was on IOS 5.0.1 and then updated to IOS 5.1.1 thinking that this would help me but i didnt. I really need some help. Thanks in advance.

A Restore is more thorough than an update. Try to Restore with iTunes on computer. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full warranty, make Genius Appointment and return to Apple for resolution.
