iPhone Forums - View Single Post - Certain areas of screen stopped working !

Yes, this happened to me last week. When I went to the Apple store the guy said mine was the 3rd one that he'd seen with this problem, and he said it all occurred at the same spot on the screen (the area of the shuffle button in ipod).

It really sucks too, because my new phone seems cheaper than the one I got on iday. The screen isn't as sharp (I have the "new" 7 model LCD and I DO notice the difference - it's freaking blurry!) and when I press the home button the bezel moves ever so slightly. Also the panning works differently. My old one would lock in one direction when I scrolled up so I could scroll through a long webpage quite quickly. Now I have to be extra careful not to pan to the side. It's so aggravating!

Oh, and a little hint: before you bring your phone into the Apple store, close any internet windows about iphone hacking. They don't like that. The attitude of the genius immediately changed when he saw that. Funny story, maybe I'll share in another thread.
