Dealing with Repeated Ghost Touch Issues on My Apple Watch Ultra 2

Asked by CuriousCat2023
I've had a frustrating experience with my Apple Watch Ultra 2, going through three units due to persistent ghost touch issues. Despite the usual fixes like force restarts and software updates, I find myself facing the same problem over and over. After each replacement, which I get through Apple Care, the watch works fine for about a month before the issues return. I see the touch screen becoming unresponsive, making it impossible to scroll, enter my passcode, or do much of anything. I know others have faced similar ghost touch problems, but my case seems particularly troublesome since these issues recur with brand new replacements. I'm even considering getting a refund and switching to a different model. Any tips or insights would be appreciated on how to handle this situation!

That sounds super frustrating! Everyone's experience can differ, but Iโ€™d suggest continuing to push for replacements. When you find a working one, donโ€™t hesitate to keep it as long as possible. Sometimes, it just takes that lucky break! Good luck!

Are you restoring from a backup each time you get a replacement? That might be an issue if thereโ€™s something in the backup causing the ghost touch to stick around.

CuriousCat2023: Yes, I've restored from a backup every time. Just trying to figure out if that's causing the issue.

TechNerd99: Could be worth testing it out without the backup to see if the problem persists. Might help narrow things down!
