Suppose you have tried the two steps above, and your iPhone touchscreen is still not responding. It would help if you next tried to update your iPhone by connecting it to your computer.

Here is what you do:

Step 1: Connect your device to your system. If you are running Windows (on a PC) — launch iTunes.

Step 2: If you have an iPhone8 or later, press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, and then press the Side button until the Recovery Mode screen does not appear. For the iPhone7 or 7 Plus, hold the Top/Side button and Volume Down button together until the Recover Mode screen appears. For the iPhone 6S or older, press and hold the Home button and the Top/Side button at the same time.

Step 3: A recovery window will appear on your PC, giving you the option to Update or Restore your iPhone. Click Update.
