"Glassing pushing up from phone? Usually top right?

If yes then screen most likely needs to be replaced."

I dropped my iPhone 6 it didn't fall that hard but the top part of my screen is unresponsive and the bottom half works

I just had this happen with the iphone 8 plus and if you swipe up the home button twice it will bring down the screen so you can put in your pass code but it doesn’t fix the screen and and you have to have this feature already enabled to bring down the screen

"Screen replacement.

It might have damaged the LCD, so you may need to get that replaced as well. Screen replacements are relatively easy, they're cheap on EBay and since it's a 5, you don't need to worry about the Touch ID cable. You'd need to transfer the home button.

The iPhone screen is made of layers. Underneath the glass is the Liquid Crystal Display, which is responsible to for the touch and the display of images.

To know if your LCD is broken, there would be out-of-place lines, blurry or black spots or a black screen.

Only do a screen replacement if you know how.

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think that it's a quick fix by pressing a few buttons, but you should definitely take it into an Apple Store or third-party repair shop. (Usually cheaper)"

I dropped my iPhone xs max and it cracked but top half of the screen wont respond while the bottom half works. There are two possible ways you can fix it yourself or get through the problem. Bring down the screen with swipe down. Also you can open your phone and check the internal if your the screen cable attachment is all connect because if one attachment is loose or unattached certain part of the screen will be unresponsive. If these still not work the i recommend getting your phone fixed because your lcd or oled part might be damaged or it might be the display censor is damaged

This is not a solution nor a trick but just a thing you can do, first turn on reachability (if you’re able to) It will help a lot since most of these people’s phone is only affected at the top. After you turn on reachability just swipe down from the bottom of the screen, you’ll be able to do most things because the top screen is being dropped down to the bottom. If you have a second device you or device you can borrow check if your apple device still has warranty or apple care, If you have either of these things you will be able to fix your phone for free! I suggest you go send your device to apple or go to your local apple store to see if they do their own repairs. If you don’t have any of these things you can still get your device fixed but you will have to pay a fee.
