Following a lot of reports about Apple iPhone X displays malfunctioning, with issues like no response and other touch-related issues, Apple has taken notice. The company has launched a new program that aims to replace the display modules of affected iPhone X smartphones, for free.
If your iPhone X exhibits any of these symptoms, as described by Apple, you can have your display replaced immediately, as part of the program.

As for how to go about the actual claim, you’ll need to take your iPhone X to a certified Apple service provider, preferably in the country of purchase, or you make an appointment at an Apple Store for the repair. If none of these options work for you, you can contact Apple Support for a mail pick-up.
Apple has also detailed that if your iPhone X is already damaged in some way that hinders with the display replacement/repair, additional repairs might be required; and those might cost you some money.
