How to Fix iPhone X Touchscreen Issues

The edge-to-edge OLED screen on the iPhone X is one of its major new features, but the touchscreen can sometimes stop working correctly. The two most common situations are a non-responsive screen and a screen that freezes in cold weather.

How to Fix iPhone X Battery Life Problems

Nothing is worse than not being able to use your phone because it’s running out of battery too soon, but that’s exactly the thing some iPhone X users complain about.
