iPhone 12 Mini Users Report Unresponsive Lock Screens

The recently launched iPhone 12 Mini is already getting its users into a dilemma as the buyers are already reporting their unpleasant experience with the phone launched and put on sale just less than a month ago.

Using the following forums, MacRumors, Apple's forum, and Reddit, some of the users recounted their unsavory encounter with the phone with complaints that the 12 mini’s touchscreen is partly unresponsive at the lock screen.

A few users suspect the issue might come down to conduction or grounding. The issue sometimes appears to be fixed when the phone is plugged in or used without a case.

For now, it’s unclear just how widespread the issue is, but it’s common enough to be more than an isolated incident especially with so many people complaining about it. Apple is however yet to comment on it.

Either way, it’s not the best start for an iPhone many see as the standout model in the lineup.
