iPhone 11. Updating to iOS16 causes touch screen to fail.
Updated to iOS 15.7 first, then updated to iOS16 straight afterwards. Both updates ran with no issues.
After update to 16, touch screen is operating randomly. (Touch one icon and another is selected, cannot put correct numbers in to make a phone call etc) Everything else appears to work. No problems with touch before the update.

iPhone 11, iOS 16
OK - have spent the day with Apple tech trying to diagnose the problem. No software fixes resets or restores worked. I was told the problem is caused by new display features in iOS16 which are incompatible with non-Apple replacement screens.
The phones cannot be restored back to iOS15.7 after upgrading to iOS16. The only solution offered is to replace the display with an Apple display (cost £220 ish). I wish they had warned me of this before doing the upgrade to iOS16!!
By the way, I discovered that fast double taps kind of work sometimes when selecting apps and entering data.
try this one , it’s not perfect but nearly fixed with its
Hopefully. But I'm not sure if Apple will patch this issue as it only affects non-Apple replacement screens
Hello Pipcom,
I experienced the same issue after the IOS 16 Update.
Do you have the original display?
Best regards

Is there a way I can identify how if there are others with having the same issue after the update? Maybe I can wait it out and see if they fix the update and go from there. I’m trying to upgrade my phone anyways but (broke college kid) haha. Thank you though!
I upgraded to iOS16 today on my iphone 12 with an after market screen and the screen is now blank. It is on as I was able to figure out where the numbers were to type my passcode but I can't see anything. I can't downgrade because I cannot figure out where to press to allow my computer to be trusted by iTunes too. What a nightmare. Any advice is appreciated.
I totally agree with you omega8719. There are potentially millions of iOS-devices out there with a third party screen and thus there are potentially millions of affected users.
This issue has triggered me to buy a new iPhone early. Could very well be a strategic move from Apple as people with an old iPhone (with an extended life through a third party display) are the perfect target to make new purchase.
Apple SHOULD fix this.
This is totally weird. Apple presents the new iPhone 14 serie few days ago. iOS 16 gets released. A lot of people are now having touch screen issues, so serious that they can't even use the phone. What the heck is going on? Apple should release an update immediately.
This solution through Touch Accomodation makes it a bit more bearable but is NOT a long-term solution.
With these instructions I still have the following problems:
This needs to be I priority to fix from apple. legit cant use my phone affectively, I need to dual wield my phone to hopefully get it to go where I want.
I have tried deleting the update via Setting - General - Iphone Storage - Software update - Delete update. But nothing happens.
iPhone 11, Después de actualizar a 16, la pantalla táctil funciona al azar. (Toca un icono y otro está seleccionado, no se pueden poner los números correctos para hacer una llamada telefónica, etc.) Todo lo demás parece funcionar. No hay problemas con el contacto antes de la actualización
This thread now have reach 5.000 view. And yet AFAIK there is no news coverage about this problem in popular tech news site such as Macworld, Macrumors, Techcrunch, or Appleinsider. How is that possible?
Yes I can confirm that it's the same with 16.0.2 (iPhone X repaired presumably 3rd party screen).
If you turn off the touch accommodation fix above I'd say it's actually worse.
So definitely not fixed.
iOS 16.0.3 released. But I'm not touching this one until someone (with a lot of time) makes sure this fix the problem and doesn't make it worse (again).
My iPhone XS still crippled. Roughly every 2 days or when playing game the touchscreen suddenly unresponsive. I must force reset my phone. Movement with swipe gesture off feel lagging. But this condition a bit better than lagging swipe to home/multitasking I mention above.
we all here love to use an iphone and trust me when i say it's not an option for us to use any other phone for us. with that in mind apple should know that even when we use third party spare parts on their products we are using now later we are willing to upgrade to a better iphone. all am saying is they should fix this screen issue coz we r not going anywhere. i mean i just upgraded from an iphone 7 to 7+ to an x now in the space on now year.
iPhone X, bought 2nd hand, so I don't know if the screen it's original or 3rd party, iOs 16.0.3, but the problem it's the same, the screen stop responding, namely after making a call.
Have anyone tried to update to iOS 16.1 beta?
