Hello, today i dropped my iPhone XS and since then i can’t swipe to unlock my phone. Everything else works fine and it’s optically not damaged at all but my phone doesn’t response at the bottom 1/8 of the screen (exactly the height of the fixed 4 app icons ). I’ve made a soft reset (vol up, down, on/off) but it doesn’t helped. As i’ve somehow managed to activate AssitiveTouch as a software home button a the middle of the screen I can’t risk to reset the phone to factory default, as i think i’ve to swipe up to unlock the phone a the very first start. Or is there another way to do the first setup without swiping it up? My question is now: Did anyone experienced the same weird behavior after dropping the phone? Is it even possible that there is a hardware damage just at the bottom part of the screen?
