iPhone saying screen too close when phone far from face

On my iPhone XR the phone will say phone screen too close and I have to stretch my arm so long for it to proceed. Anyone else got the same thing or not?

iPhone 16 Pro Max screen sensitivity issue with protective glass Hello, I bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but the screen response works very poorly, I can't stick a protective glass on it because then the pressing doesn't happen right away and I have to press harder. Please tell me, is this a problem with the phone, or is the phone's frame just too small? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

IPhone 13 Pro not responsive after pressing side lock button i have iPhone 13 pro and whenever I lock the phone using the side button, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I am not able to get out from Lock Screen using the swipe. If I let the phone auto lock after 30 seconds the phone screen is responsive to swipe after the faceid unlock. When phone is unresponsive the only way to fix the issue is to restart the phone using up/down volume and power button. This is very strange and happens only when the side lock button is pressed.
