Hi,
I have been having some issues with my iPhone XS touchscreen. I am able to turn the iPhone XS on and off and the screen goes black and lights up the software as you would expect. But sometimes after I turned on it on, the touch screen doesn’t work. I drag my fingers and nothing. I went on a road trip before I noticed this and think maybe the heat inside the car did something. I would have thought the heat would affect the hardware and not the software though so hard to tell if it is just paranoia. Maybe it isn’t related to heat and there is something else I can do that I’m missing. Anyway, an Apple forum directed me here for a hard reset. I tried your guide. I was able to hard reset but I still have the lack of touch registering. Not sure what to do next. I really don’t want to send it to Apple. I’d rather just buy another phone.

If the hard reset didn’t work, you need to take it to Apple for a service. It might be related to the hardware. It might also be related to the software, and they may update it for you.
