Mmmmm... There are people with LG and Samsung screens with and without problems... 🤔

It seems that November bulit don’t have problem with screen and all.
This post was born for touch issue, no battery drain.

Below was cut and paste and put here from a previous poster.
“I will quote from someone from Reddit:
„For those wondering how to check your display manufacturer... You can run sysdiagnose on your phone (press volume up, volume down, and lock button) all together for around a second. You will feel the phone vibrate. Wait a couple of minutes and then go to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Analytics and Improvements -> Analytics Data. You will then scroll down and look for a file titled: sysdiagnose_XXXXXXXX You will click on that file and then click the arrow in the upper right hand corner and scroll down and click "Save to Files" Once it is saved you will go into your files and click the file to unpack it. Within the folder that is unpacked you will click on the folder "ioreg" and then click the file "IODeviceTree". You will then use the magnifying search glass in the bottom right hand corner to search "raw-panel". It will then give you a serial number. I have an LG display which has the beginning letters of GVC.“
G9N and G9P is Samsung
GHC & GVC is LG
As I already explained several weeks ago, touch input are registered by the digitizer and not by the screen panel itself. And the digitizer could be the same for LG and Samsung panels, so this relation between manufacturer and the “issue” is stretched out.
Here, there is also many confusion…
The problem is if u have the touch issue, who have problem of touch and who have lose a few touch, with or without screen protection.
Which is your iOS version and other things about touch.
Exactly. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, July Battery. Samsung screen. I lose some touches very occasionally at the upper right and left ends of the screen mainly, in third-party applications, when I touch the arrow to go back. Keyboard sometimes gets laggy, but I don't know if that's a touch problem. And that’s it.
That’s how much you don’t know about phones. In 2 days your phone is still indexing and trying to remember how you use your phone. If you’re only giving it 2 days no wonder you have returned 5 times.
I think screen gets changed along with digitizer, so only option is left is to do the factory reset & setup as a new
Ios 18.2 here, started to have lost touches when clicking in the 3 dots “…” top right when opening a pictures in the photos app
Sometimes it works sometimes not, like 25% fails
Battery october, samsung screen

Serial returners are one of the reasons Apple is taking prices very high
If I can’t type on my phone, I’m gonna return it. So the people that are still having issues months after getting their phone, is it because the phone is still indexing? You know more about phones than me, maybe you can give a solution to this issue then we won’t have serial returners
Yes, definitely. You are doing it once, maybe twice if you are really unlucky. make it three times if this really isn’t your year… but 4, 5 or more times, that’s what I call serial returners. Being here since a while, this is something happening quite often from some users.
BTW not a single one of the complainers here “cannot type” on their phone.
My problem is touch issue few time, lose touch and sometimes don’t go if I touch cancel bottom on keyboard. Always with protector screen glass
Million percent this is a software issue. 15 pro had same issue until iOS 17.3 fixed it.
