IPhone 15 Pro Max keyboard not registering clicks and some keys are not sensitive

Anyone experiencing insensitive keys on the keyboard? Some keys near the edge of my phone that are noticeably less sensitive and irresponsive than the rest (with and without a screen protector). I have to click pretty hard multiple times in order for the keys to register. The keys that are having issues registering my clicks are Backspace and "P". I tested the demo phones in the store and they all seem normal and much more sensitive.

I had the same exact issue. Just updated to IOS 17.1, which, according to Apple:

Fixes an issue that may cause the keyboard to be less responsive


And it does! Issue resolved. My backspace, “L” key and “M” key are functioning again!


Hope it works for y'all as well.

I’ve had my 15 pro max 4 days and I start typing a word in a message or a search engine and it sends the message as one letter or two letters or it takes me to a page I’m not looking for. I might type the letters m & e into google & without finishing the typed word or hitting the search button it takes me to some random page starting with M. Not acceptable !!!!

I am having the same issue but it didn't seem to start until February 2024 and I received my 15 PM in December 2023 for Christmas. When I type I have to type very slow so I can catch mistakes. Also all 4 corners are very hard to get a response ; like if I'm tapping that area on an app or internet etc. I was starting to wander if it had to do with screensaver that Tmobile put on my phone but I'm seeing that alot of you are having same issue.. APPLE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS . I see in this app auto correct is fixing every word but it does not when I use it everywhere else 🤔🤔 I feel like I'm on an episode of twilight zone

I just purchased my iPhone 15 pro max on Saturday June 18th 2024 and I’m experiencing the same issue. I paid $1,500 for this phone and the keyboard keys are not typing. I have to click the keys several times for it to respond. People have been having this issue since prior to September 2023. This is unacceptable for apple not to have fixed this issue. Today is June 12th 2024 and I purchased my phone on June 8th 2024. Apple needs to acknowledge the problem and address and fix it.

I, too, am having keyboard problems like others have posted. In fact quite often most words typed are misspelled due to the keyboard.


I have never had so much trouble with an iphone keyboard before. I should have kept my iphone 7 Plus but the iphone 15 Plus just happened to be a special $5.99 a month. I can see why!


I hope eventually…..VERY SOON….Apple will have an update and fix to keyboard issues.

This is insane. Ive had my iphone 15p for a few months now and have had this issue since day one. The backspace key is the worst but i definitely have issues with other keys that leads to constant misspelling of words.. my keyboard is also starting to lag as time has went by. Apple never fails to disappoint!… whats it called when u keep doing the same thing expecting different results… yea thats all of us that keep buying apple products
