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.
Wonder if they would refund it if they cant fix it? And buy a Non Pro model that dont seem to have the same issue.
