Gotta love all the people who returned their devices because “they couldn’t even” more like an excuse to get a different model.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 iPhone 12 Mini not responding to touch correctly on lock screen (Partially FIXED)

Agreed...as frustrating and befuddling as this problem was I appreciate that Apple got us a fix in under a week.
still experiencing notification screen problems whilst the phone is unlocked though not as bad since updating. Now it feels like it misses or incorrectly responds to some touches and is most noticeable when trying to quickly scroll through them.
You're about 3 1/2 hours and 65 posts too late with this information.
That seems true after I posted.
The interesting part is this very morning when I'm barely awake I got a sudden feeling that iOS may have a new update, grabbed my 12 mini and found the 14.2.1.
So for me it's like a discovery.
Personally more fun than reading it from somewhere else.

Welcome, newbie. Hope you enjoy your mini version 2.That seems true after I posted.

Updated to 14.2.1 from 14.2 on my mini. Haven’t put a TGSP back on, but tested extensively with and without a case laying flat on a table. The shortcut buttons, password entry, accepting phone calls, and scrolling with the flat part of my thumb all work as they should. This is awesome and I’m glad this has been fixed so quickly!
Still taking two or three swipes with my thumb to answer the phone After update. I’m am therefore going to say very much improved but still not 100% perfect. Also I would’ve have preferred better communication with Apple with regards to this issue instead of them Telling me I can return the phone or remove my screen protector. I got much better information out of the people on this thread then I did been on the phone with the Apple senior team. So thanks for that guys. ?

How can I create my own post thread? I want to create a list of like a wish list for Apple Watch features in the future.
Same issues, thought it was the glass screen protector. However, I found that if you use just the tip of your finger... very precisely, it would work. Glad to see this wasn't just me ! One other problem though, camera is driving me nuts trying to pinch to zoom, etc.
Somewhat off topic, but you can go to the Apple Watch section at https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-watch.172/ and use the "Post thread" button (that is closer to the top on the right) to create a thread. You can also take a look around that section to perhaps see if a similar thread might already exist.
Hey, im still thinking iOS 14.2.1 did not solve all the problems with the touchscreen. Look at the video. I think it can be problematic for example in gaming or just scrolling websites not touching the frame of the phone. What do you think? Im not copletely happy with the upgrade. Video:

You are right. There are still some minor issues. Laying the iPhone flat I'm having trouble scrolling with my thumb placed sidesways. Hopefully the fixed they released was a quickfix and a more comprehensive one is on the way.
Ps. Going to update the first post again addressing this issue.
I don’t believe that particular fringe use scenario was reported to Apple as being the same usage problem as the Lock Screen swipe problem many of us reported. You need to report your fringe use to Apple.
I live in Poland and English is not my first language. We don't even have an Apple Store here. If there is anyone here who will report this problem directly to Apple, I will be grateful! ??
You can report the problem online with the following link.

Although that might not necessarily be the main use case it would be a gap on Apple's side if they didn't check it in the process of addressing the reported issue. That said, perhaps they did and it required additional work that either hasn't been done yet or involves more complexity and they just wanted to get the fix out for the main use case as soon as they could.
