Chosen Solution
My screen has been having poor responsiveness. I’ll go to swipe and it will either be unresponsive or it will go haywire, selecting apps I didn’t select, typing things I didn’t type, or just generally going on the fritz. I had been able to mitigate the problem by running my fingernail around the perimeter of the screen to raise it from the casing. I just found my screwdrivers for past parts jobs I have done on my Macbook Pro and iPhone in the past. I opened it up to confirm my suspicion: my battery has a small circular raised area on it that appears to be a defect. The raised swell with a diameter of about a millimeter had been pushing up on the posterior of the screen. This pressure has been what has been creating the issue. So my question is: is this a battery defect that I can cash in on for a new phone or is this something I should just replace?
It doesn’t hurt to have the Apple store check it for free. At the least they will either confirm the problem, or tell you its not the battery and its something else.
