In this case, I recommend that you contact Apple support directly. Please, follow these steps:

  1. Open this link: https://getsupport.apple.com/products and choose "iPhone"
  2. Choose "Repairs & Physical Damage"
  3. Choose "Device slow or unresponsive to touch"
  4. Here you can find a local repair service or scroll down to the very bottom and click "Call" or "Chat"

Their chat isn't working, and they put up a notification to bring it for repair

author

Yes. I will call them. There is no place in Rotorua listed as an Apple repair place.
