iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Unresponsive

Is anyone else noticing their iPhone 16 pro max being unresponsive sometimes when touching the screen, typing, swiping.


Im not even using a screen protector and it’s like it. Makes things seem really laggy sometimes.


Did not expect it on a brand new iPhone.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

After iOS 18.0.1 did not fully fix the problem that I had with my laggy screen, I ended up making an appointment with a Genius at an Apple Store the day before yesterday, and they did a bunch of hardware diagnostics. My phone failed the Touch Screen Responsiveness Test, so they swapped out my iPhone 16 Pro Max with a new one. I immediately noticed the huge change in responsiveness with the new phone, and it has been absolutely perfect ever since. This has solved my problem completely, and I no longer have any issues with my iPhone whatsoever. It’s awesome now.

I finally had the screen on my IPhone 16 Pro Max changed to address the non-responsiveness issue. During the diagnostic process, the technician found an issue along the corners of the phone that was unresponsive to the actions performed during the testing process. So far the phone seems to be working better after the screen change. It’s been a week since the screen has been changed so I am hoping that the remedial action has addressed the issue long term. I will keep you guys posted if anything changes.
