Why is my iPhone 15 Pro screen unresponsive sometimes?

Ok i just got my iPhone 15 pro max couple days ago and the screen response was delayed. And i tried what Axel Foley suggested and it worked! Thanks

P.S i held the side button for a while (inadvertently)

I have been having the same issue with my 15 pro max. I went in and checked to make sure I didn’t turn something off or on by mistake but it all was good. Can we bring it in to Apple and see what they can do at a store

I too had hopes of a fix with software updates… Mine worked fine out of the box, it started with 17.2 if I remember right, but seemed to get better and go away with 17.3, then 17.3.1 comes along and it’s happening again. So I’m pretty confident that it’s a software glitch. With as many complaints as I’ve seen you’d think they would have fixed it with an update or have they not seen the complaints. Screen response is a very big deal, you’d think they would have addressed it by now, but I’ve seen nothing from them and nothing in update notes.

Apple, if you’re listening… we need a fix asap!!

Same here I just left Apple Store it’s an internal problem change device

Turn it off and turn it on again is a fix for a 1500$ thing that functions as a paperweight as compared to my 14 pro? ...I want my 14 back

Happening with the 15 plus also I’m already having to exchange my phone causes it’s bad that’s where I’m at too maybe some are defective

Omg! I thought I was the only one! I notice it the most of instagram. It’ll slide through stories without me doing it. But then sometimes doesn’t respond to the touch screen at all! And I’ll have to press really hard

Is it a hardware issue, the issue seems to be there across all the apps. Even on the default home screen, settings, lock screen everywhere. The phone is just so unresponsive and doesnt feel like a premium phone.

Scrolling experience on most of the apps is horrible, even how different parts of apps are loaded is weird. It seems like some apps are not built for this particular display or OS (incompatible)

I have iPhone 15, Right side down corner and left side up corner display sometime not working properly. If this is a bug please fix as soon as possible.

when I play Battlegrounds Mobile India then the problem is appear, even when I using WhatsApp I face the same problem.

Have you also tried to attach media in text messages like pics or audio or video as gifs. The tapping has still be corrected. I requested a new phone which will be number 3 it gets delivered today and was on back order from ATT Still no change. I am hoping the one that will be delivered today does not have this issues if so I’m switching to android and I hate android as I use my phone for work etc. #apple should have had this corrected by now and is in acceptable. Since your new phone is doing keep switching it out until it’s corrected

Iphone 15 Ios 17.1.1 and all the proposed above methods are failing. swiping up the applications to move into another app is a nightmare, forcing apps closing also completely unresponsive. With all apps, not only the apple ones. no solution at all till now. Do fix this!

I just got my ip15promax to apple clinic after update latest ios screen totally not respond after force shutdown also d same.

technician reset the ip n seems no solution for it only hv to reset everything 😩😩😩

I returned my phone, expecting the replacement to be free of issues. However, the new device also exhibits the same problem. It becomes frustrating during message typing, especially when you need to delete words. The issue is noticeable with the backspace key on the keyboard.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 15 pro max. I also first thought it is me at first but I never had the issue with other iphones before. It’s persistent even offer the volume up down power reset.

it’s also not the only issue. When in power saving mode the iPhone is so slow that the keyboard cannot keep up with my typing. Many apps freeze regularly and touchscreen is mostly unresponsive around the top of the keyboard.
