HEY APPLE, give us a solution to the problem that we are actually asking about. The iPhone 13 keyboard has very low sensitivity OR it's just too small and insists on registering touches in between keys. Either way THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT CURRENTLY! No, haptic and assistive touch aren't at all similar to what we are asking about. Zooming the entire display is also a dumb response that includes rearranging your home screen. It's taken me like 20 minutes to get this far into typing because you have to tap on each key 3 freaking times for it to register. I didn't have this problem back with the iPhone 5 a decade ago, why is it here now? Please fix THIS PROBLEM. It is unavoidable and maddening.

I have a problem where the right hand side of the screen is less sensitive to touch than the rest so the letter p only works sometimes. Similarly the delete key. If I turn the keyboard round it works fine. It’s the far right hand side of the screen. The phone is brand new. I’m going to send it back if this can’t be fixed.

Yes I too am having problems with my brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max. The touch sensitivity on the keyboard is absolutely horrible. I have a screen protector on and it makes it impossible to use the keyboard. I don’t wanna have to takeoff the screen protector just to be able to type. I too am in the return phase still as my phone isn’t even a week old yet. Is there a fix for this yet before I have to return this phone?

Change 3D or Haptic Touch sensitivity on your iPhone

  1. Go to Settings and tap Accessibility.
  2. Tap Touch, then tap 3D & Haptic Touch. Depending on the device you have, you might see 3D Touch or Haptic Touch only.
  3. Turn on the feature, then use the slider to select a sensitivity level.

I am also finding many issues with the touchscreen, not for the first time. It is extremely aggravating and seems to be getting worse.


there is no screen saver on my phone, I have one to install but I definitely didn’t want to make the issue worse!


I am having to turn phone off and on and/or wait for phone to start responding.


mine is a 13 Max Pro, it is not the screen or keypad size…

I had to get a replacement phone from Verizon and when I received the new phone it needed to be updated at first along with a forced reset to make the changes apply. When I first received the replacement phone it was doing the exact same thing as the original phone which was just a really bad delay on the touch screen or in better terms it was intermittent touch screen. But after the forced restart on the replacement it's working as should. Best of luck hope this helps.
