Top of screen flickering/touchscreen unresponsive

Ever since I updated my iPhone 6 Plus to IOS 10 public beta 5 (never had issues before beta 5) the top of the screen randomly starts to flicker gray and progressively starts to trickle down to about halfway down. Also during that time the touchscreen is completely unusable and will sometimes randomly select items or apps all by it self. The home button and lock button still work. I can however have Siri perform tasks for me (ex: send text, play music). The only thing that seems to work is wait it out. After the flickering stops, it takes about 1-2 mins for the touchscreen to active. I've hard restarted several times and sometimes that will correct it right off the bat, but usually it will just resume to where it left off. I just updated to IOS 10 public beta 6 and the problem still persists. I've tried to screen shot the flickering but it does not capture it and the picture looks normal. I've tried addressing this also through the Apple feedback app but they are just stuck in the outbox. It's says they are compressing but they've been doing that for 3 plus days now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is the same issue with my iphone5 when upgraded to ios10.3.1 as well as ios10.2.1 and ios10.3.The Touch screen can be used for five minutes at beginning.Please fix this issue!Thanks!

I have the same problems since downloading 10.3.1, and my phone is close to useless. I hope this problem is fixed soon!!!

This just began for me today. I've found that the best way to get it temporarily working again is to give it a good pound or ***** on the back, kind of like an old school TV (for those of you old enough to remember those 😉

I am also having the same issue and my headphone jack is also not working and ive reported both issues to apple. I get the the same response. Even though it is talked about and hundreds of people report it on their official apple forums these issues still are recognised by apple as known issues for them to fix. The specialist on the phone recommended i buy a new iphone.

I found this today. Hope its true. Paid off the $300 "lease" on my phone then this starts. Looks like they are gonna fix for $149 fee though it's a design flaw.


Great

Back up your iPhone and expect the worst if you are past warranty. Most probably the screen is warped and/or motherboard is displalced. Have you dropped your iPhone lately. In the future, buy a good case for your phone and keep it away from heat and moisture.

This is because of the "bendgate"

bigger iphones bend and then the touch IC starts losing contact. I have same issue with my iphone 6 plus and I looked at the phone sideways and found its very slightly bent, so i twisted it and straightened and the problem is fixed for now. I am sure the problem will return after few days, but I can bend again 🙂
