Active Stylus on iPhone 8 not working near bottom of screen

I have tried two active stylus’s on my iPhone 8 (ESR and Homder) and neither of them work very well on the bottom row of the screen i.e. Space, Return,123 etc.. this makes the stylus almost unusable. The screen works okay using a finger or a cheap non active stylus. It also works okay if I put the screen sideways. Has anybody else experienced this? The iPhone is running iOS 13.4.

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Hello Hess,

As you already know that, to this date, iPhones are designed to be used with a stylus. There are no Apple authorized styluses in the market and there will not be unless Apple develops an iPhone to be used with a stylus. Your iPhone's screen is designed to be navigated with a human touch and tap.

As far as validation of the operation of the stylus is concerned, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the stylus directly.
