Some iPhone X owners have experienced a touchscreen glitch that causes it to react without being touched, and at other times it doesn't respond to touch properly. There are several threads on the Apple support forum on these topics. Apple has acknowledged that some iPhone X screens "may experience touch problems due to a component that may fail in the display module."

Solution:

Problem: Face ID is not working properly

Although most people have adapted to the innovation of unlocking their iPhone X with their face, sadly, this technology has not worked efficiently for everyone. The iMore and MacRumors forum posts describe a Face ID that is increasingly flawed and flawed. This problem may have occurred after a software update.

Solutions:

Make sure your surroundings are well lit and that your face is not filled with shadows.
Consider going into Settings> Face ID & Password , and switch to Require Attention for Face ID off . But keep in mind that this makes it less secure.

Possible solutions:

Head to Settings> Face ID & Password and tap on Reset Face ID . Follow the steps to set it up again.
Look in Settings> General> Software update and make sure you have the latest update.
If the above options didn't work for you, take your iPhone X to the Apple Store or an authorized service provider and request a repair or replacement. Apparently Apple has some established testing procedures for this problem and it might require a rear camera repair.

Problem: no response screen

We've seen some reports on the Apple forums and MacRumors forum stating that on some occasions the iPhone X screen doesn't want to turn back on, can't turn off, or worse, intermittently freezes. Know the possible causes of this problem.

Possible solutions:

The first thing you should try for a problem like this is a force restart. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button . Then quickly press and release the Volume Down button . Then press and hold the Sleep / Wake button until you see the Apple logo. Unfortunately this could only be a temporary fix.
For a more permanent solution, you can try a factory reset, just make sure you do a backup first.
If there is any visible damage, or you suspect that the cause of this problem may be due to the equipment being dropped, contact Apple and take your iPhone to an Apple Store or authorized repair facility for repair.

Problem: screen burned

Shortly after the launch of the iPhone X, Apple released a statement regarding the OLED screen used in this innovative device. The company noted that "image persistence" or "burn-in" could appear over time.

Burnout occurs when a static image is left on the screen for a long time. For example, if you leave your iPhone X screen on for a long time on the home screen, an app icon can burn onto the screen, to the point that you can see its faint outline when watching a video.

Apple is acting proactively and warning users that a fire could occur on the iPhone X in the future, as OLED displays are often prone to the problem, but it is not likely to happen to most people.

Solution:

Apple recommends that you lower the brightness on your phone. To reduce the brightness on your iPhone X, unfold the right side of the screen to open Control Center and adjust the brightness slider.
Activate auto-lock . Since still images are much more likely to cause burns, you want to make sure the screen turns off when you're not using the phone. To activate Screen-Lock , head to Settings> Displays & brightness> Auto-lock . Set your screen to turn off after 30 to 60 seconds of inactivity.

Problem: iPhone X does not work in cold temperatures

A number of users on Reddit reported that the iPhone X stops working when in cold temperatures. The problem usually only lasts for a few seconds, however some users have experienced a longer freeze. Fortunately, Apple is aware of the problem and is working on a software update that should fix it.

Solution:

Users report that locking and unlocking the screen fixes the problem.

Problem: green line appearing on the screen

Apple Insider reported that a small number of iPhone X owners see a persistent green line on the left or right side of the screen. People who have experienced the problem say that the line does not appear when you turn on the phone for the first time, but after using it. Recall that Samsung, the maker of the iPhone X screen, had a similar problem with the Samsung Galaxy S7 , leading people to believe that this may be a hardware problem.

Solution:

Apple is aware of the problem and is currently replacing the affected drives. The company is also collecting data from damaged devices to determine the source of the problem. If you have an affected unit, take the phone to the Apple Store or contact them by phone at 1-800-694-7466, or online .

Problem: speakers squeak at high volume

Posts in the Apple forums , on Reddit, and on the MacRumors forum describe distorted noise when the iPhone X's speakers are turned up high. The problem appears to be limited to a small number of phones and continues after the unit is replaced.

Recall that a similar problem was also recently presented on the iPhone 8, which was attributed to a software problem and to solve the problem a patch was released. So far, it is unknown if the problem with the iPhone X is caused by software or hardware, but Apple is studying it.

Solutions:

Don't use the speakers at high volume.
Use the EarPods included in your iPhone kit or other external headphones.
See Settings> General> Software Update , as Apple has made changes that supposedly address this issue, although some owners suggest that all Apple has done is reduce the maximum volume.
