Have you made sure to wash your iPhone screen? I know this may sound silly, but often a ditry screen can have strange consequences. Just use a damp cloth and give it a good wipe, it doesn't have to be dripping wet, but you don't have to be that careful either since the iPhone 7 and 8 are more or less waterproof. I have a 6S Plus and I usually hold it upside down so no water gets in around the home button or the cut up by the earpiece. A week or so ago I have my iPhone sitting at the side of the sink while I was washing my hands and that particular sink at my store doesn't drain super fast so there was water in the bottom and it was running and I accidently knocked the iPhone off the edge. Granted I grabbed it as soon as it fell in, ut it was completely lying in the water with water streaming on top. I have it in a fairly tight case and I instantly gave it a good shake, took the case off and dried it off. At first the speaker sounded a bit funny, sort of like on my Apple Watch after a swim in the pool, but after a bit it was fine and the phone suffered no ill health because of it's dunking. As I said this is a 6S Plus which is not nearly as water resistant as the 7 or 8 and of course the new phones this year are all but waterproof.

Occasionally I have noticed I think while flicking that the phone acts like it is not on a control, there is no voice output and what I hear is a sound as though I am stuck in the rotor. Is that the kind of stuff that is happening to others? I thought it was operator error of some sort. Also, I seem to have a slightly dead spot on the lower left side of my iPhone 8 screen. In that corner sometimes when I triple tap it is interpreted as a double tap. I do not have a screen protector on. Thanks for any feedback!

I'm not certain if I would describe it as the screen being unresponsive, so much as I would say that VoiceOver simply drops out. For example, when this happens, one can still scroll from screen-to-screen but without any audio feedback. So, for a totally blind person, this would seem as though the screen / device was unresponsive. I have resolved the problem by (1) simply pressing the Home button; (2) unplugging and then reinserting my Earpods into the Lightening port, when this occurs while they are in use; or (3) simply opening another app. Mark From: 'Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 12:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: iPhone 7 screen intermittently seems to go unresponsive Hi, My iPhone 7 is nearing the end of its Apple Care coverage, so I’m asking opinions on this matter. For several weeks now, my screen becomes unresponsive at times, not responding to gestures such as double taps, etc. I can generally get it working again by turning off and then back on again Voiceover. Is this something I should get checked out by Apple, or just one of the ways iPhones sometimes act? Thanks in advance for any advice.
