My opening day 7+ did this several times the first month or two but has not in a while now. Not sure if it was an update or what but has not happened in a while now.
Got a tip for us?

Does your 7/7+ touch screen ever stop working?

Such an odd bug after a day or two it started doing it again.
Oh well. I'm going to go with software

And it happened again. So much for that.
Anyways I think it helped in general
For people this is happening to is it also happening on your non 7/7+ iOS 10 devices too?

I have a 7+ that I got on launch day. I have never experienced any issues like the ones being described. I remember reading that the modem is different in Sprint, Verizon, and Sim-free versus AT&T and T-Mobile. I wonder if we compare carriers if that could be an issue. (My carrier is Sprint.) I don't know of any other hardware differences but if anyone else does this could also be an issue.
Happens to me sometimes. Seems to only do it when I've left the screen on and it tries to go to "sleep mode" it will be dimmed down but touching the screen doesn't seem to reawaken it. Hitting the sleep buttons seems to get it going again.
This happened to me a few times in the early days. But now that you mention it, it hasn't happened for quite a while.
Mine still does this (As did the first one i had that got replaced).
Mine will also freeze up to the point nothing works and i can't power it off or anything for a few minutes

7+
both have been set up as brand new
have nothing saved that needs to be restored from backup lol
hmmm interesting
still doing it on 10.3 or 10.3.1 or whatever is latest? thats interesting,
I wonder what other peoples' findings are,
have both your devices always frozen up? don't have that issue,
and has the unresponsiveness been happening the same, or less frequnetly/more since software updates ?

Had this exact same problem and both phones do the same thing. The my new one does it more.
None of the software updates have changed any way my phone acts. There are just random days that it happens 5-6 times and then it can go 2-3 weeks without happening and then all happens again
That's crazy and interesting.
Are you guys beginning to think it's hardware specific to all devices or just an unresolved longstanding bug?
I also wonder if 7 users experience this or just 7+

I don't think it is hardware. It happened pre 7plus for me too. I think it is just a software issue. I have another forever softwarenissue where my phone gets stuck in landscape when texting even though I didn't put it into landscape position. I have to close and restart the app like twice a day sometimes for that. That has been happening for years.
That's true lol. The landscape bug will never die. Doesn't happen as often as 6 plus tho that was the worst.
I don't think it's at all relevant but just curious is it the intel or Qualcomm model for people who have had or are still having this intermittent hiccup?
I also wonder for people still having the issue if a clean restore (not ota update) fixes it. Ota can do strange things and hold onto old bugs
My iPhone 7 used to do it several times a week. Apparently it's been fixed with software updates though because it hasn't caught my attention in some time.
