I bought a new iPhone and am having a problem I never had before on my previous one: when I switch to an open app, that app will display on the screen fine but it is completely frozen: no scroll, no tap, no response at all.
i have to close the app manually and reopen. But this means that data previously open in that app is lost.
This happens several times a day.
I don’t know if this is an iOS 16 bug, or a problem with my new iPhone 14 pro max?

TLDR; try turning off haptics in iOS system settings. Solved the freezing issues for me.
Long version:
I am experiencing this freezing too. Often immediately when unlocking the screen of my iPhone 14 Pro Max or when using the app switcher.
Today I had the freezing again while playing Brawlstars. After only a few seconds in the game the screen froze but the sound continued to play. Sometimes after 10-15 secs the screen unfreezes and I could play again for 20 secs before it froze again. Needless to say it was unplayable.
After a few minutes of trying to figure out whats going on I noticed that the freezing always occured when pressing the fire button or when getting hit. This causes the haptics engine of the iPhone to fire impulses. The haptics engine also fires impulses when switching apps or unlocking the phone.
So I went into the system settings and turned off the system haptics and the two other haptic settings and after doing so the freezes were gone. Hope it helps.
Mine iPhone 14 pro max phone calls freezes and can’t slide on side freezes, many times had to restart still same things ! Please fix asap
Je vous confirme que la mise à jour n’a rien reglé. Je suis à 16.3 et ma conjointe a 16.2 et nos deux téléphones font la même chose.
I phoned them and got them to send me a new phone and still have the same issue .
can’t close a call it freezes
Just got my iPhone 14 pro max a few days ago and all it’s been doing is force closing apps and freezing up. I’m on the newest update and I have done all of the steps shown in this thread. Still happens. Gah!
Im too facing the same issues.
call answering slider freezes while in an incoming call.
some app freezes and im unable to go back or cancel.
network is very slow compared to android phones.
instagram breaks when using a template after loading multiple videos

and not able to see 5g option in bangalore, india
I have exactly the same issue. With iOS16.2 when closing a call, the screen freezes and it frees up after about 20sec. It is quite annoying and never had something similar with 12 pro MAX.....
I have a 14 PRO MAX...
Cheers
I thought I wasn't the only one. Weird that my other friends with one aren't having an issue. I wonder if it is a hardware issue with some that were manufactured at a certain time. I am currently trying an erase all, and starting over with a backup. I hope that fixes it, but hearing these replies I am not sure that it will.
My iPhone 14 pro max works fine except for when I am using google maps, Apple Maps or Waze. Any GPS enabled app seems to freeze up while it is being used. We just went on a very long trip and I cannot tell you how many times we missed exits on account of the gps enabled maps app freezing up for seconds to minutes at a time. I need this fixed asap because I also use this phone and the gps enabled apps for my job and I cannot have them freezing up like this.
I am having same issue my 14pro max freezes while i open an app, things on screen are ok but nothing works can’t scroll, tap or click it like no response at all. i have to close the app and reopen it again. This happens multiple times a day. When it froze multiple times a day
ios 16.3.1
Have you contacted Apple? I phoned them in the first week of buying mine and they said to install the latest firmware update. I did with no difference. I need to go back to them I guess. Would love to know if anyone has had success fixing the problem.
At the moment I am not sure I will buy another Iphone. I have had pretty much every model made but this is starting to sway me.
16.1 is the reason it’s freezing. So now what.
Not for me. Still freezing.
this is happening to me all the time, I cant keep restarting my phone 10 times a day?
Did you solve your problem?
I've done all of these things and still the same issue unfortunately..
I’ve done all of this as well, constantly freezing and i keep restarting my iphone 20 times a day:( really disappointing coming from Apple.. iphone 14 pro max; please fix it…
