iPhone screen does not respond to touch

Maybe your mom wonders why you’ve been ignoring her apps for days; your iPhone screen doesn’t respond to touch and/or your iPhone screen doesn’t work? This can arise from three different problems:

• Your screen is broken
• Your touch ic chip is broken
• Your iPhone is stuck with a black screen

Your screen is broken

In some cases, only the screen of your iPhone is broken: your iPhone screen doesn’t work. And because of this, your iPhone screen does not respond to touch. You can sometimes see this: the iPhone has streaks or smudges in the screen or the screen is colored completely black. In addition, a defective screen can often be identified by cracks in the screen, but not necessarily. In some cases, the screen is broken internally but still looks good on the outside. There are several ways to get a defective screen. Water damage, or impact, pressure and drop damage can be the cause. But even prolonged use can eventually cause your screen to fail or deteriorate. With a faulty screen, your touch function also hollows out. This makes your screen unresponsive or less responsive to touch. The solution to this is quite simple, namely a screen repair.

Your touch ic chip is broken

Besides the screen, your touch ic chip may also be broken. This is a component in your iPhone that causes the screen to respond to touch, or touch. Your iPhone screen does not respond to touch? Logically, this happens when this chip is (partially) broken. Chips in the iPhone can break in several ways. Thus, the chip ages with age and eventually works worse and worse. Dropping (into water) or any other type of impact or pressure damage can also increase the chances of a broken touch ic chip.

Your iPhone is stuck with black screen

Your iPhone screen does not respond to touch because your screen is black with an Apple logo in view? In this problem, your screen or touch is not defective. If your iPhone boots up and it gets stuck continuously on the Apple logo, this is called a bootloop. Booting up an iPhone is called boot in technical terms, and because it tries to do this over and over again, it is called a loop. A bootloop occurs when there are problems with your iPhone.
