iPhone touchscreen has ghost touch after iOS update

After I updated my iPhone to the latest IOS 27.2 my iPhone started having ghost touch and it mostly happened during playing games like Call of Duty mobile or Bloodstrike, it stops responding to touch for a split second and then taps on buttons on its own before going back to normal and then it happens over and over again and it’s very very frustrating now I regret ever updating my iPhone in the first place

That iPhone is likely headed for a hardware repair.


Contact Apple Support and discuss your options with them.

It’s a software bug, my iPhone was never like that until I updated it to iOS 27.2

We’re not swimming in bug reports. Which means your display or digitizer has failed. It happens. Get it fixed.

Nope. Your six year old already failing screen finally failed completely after the thermal shock of the update.
