How do I unlock my phone?

[Alexis Lenora]

I have the iphone 6s+ and when I woke up this morning I couldn't type on the top half of my screen so I held down the power button and home button until I saw the apple logo, then when my phone turned back on I was still unable to use the top half and I cannot type in my passcode or get into my phone

Are you near an Apple store? If so, you might want to stop by and have it checked out at the Genius Bar. If you aren’t near one, contact Apple Support. https://support.apple.com/contact

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like something is wrong with the screen physically. @Annie_8plus has the right idea...take it to an Apple store, where they can check out the screen or what ever else may be causing issues.

If you can keep us informed about your issue

Before contacting Apple Support, try Reset All Settings.

Go to Settings >General >Reset >Reset All Settings. This resets to default everything in Settings, including notifications, alerts, brightness, and clock settings like wake up alarms.

If that does not work, you need to restore your iPhone as new, not from a back up. If the restore doesn't help, then your issue may be hardware related. But I'm guessing there's some corruption in the software.

It’s a little hard to reset all Settings on a device that is unresponsive to any touches.

OP should try to put the iPhone into DFU mode and restore through iTunes on a Mac or PC.

Yeah, I guess it would be difficult. Restore via DFU is the best option. But the OP didn't say all touches were unresponsive. Only issues with the top half of the screen.
