iPhone 16 Pro Max Touch responsiveness issues.

I also continue to have touchscreen issues even after updating to 18.0.1.

This is disheartening after spending all this money.

I just did the update and it fixed slightly for me but some parts and sometimes the screen still isn’t responsive. Anyone having that issue?

I am having the same issue on my end with my 16 Pro Max. I have tried everything and even switched screen protector brands. I even tried it without the screen protector and although it was not as bad as with the screen protector, there still was some issues with the screen responsiveness.

I have same issue . The keyboard touch responsiveness is TERRIBLE . I feel like I’m having to type harder on my phone compared to typing on my iPhone 14 max . I’ve wasted two screen protectors ( one from

verizon and one from Amazon) thinking it was because of it .

I have the same problem on my 16 Pro Max. I have to type at half my normal speed and press much harder than normal. I’m tired of the missed taps and swipes. Very annoying.

How do you know it’s a software problem?

Although I was able to successfully complete this many times in a row (meaning normal behavior), I did encounter what you're talking about. At some point, I believe the backspace button becomes unresponsive for a split second or two. So I'm noticing the problem most when backspacing to correct errors as I type.

Same issue here. Hopefully it’s a software issue and Apple will be able too fix it soon.

I have had my iPhone 16 Pro Max since launch and I've had this issue from the beginning. All updates installed (to 18.0.1), the typing lag issues still persists most predominantly while texting. I've tried everything including replacing the phone. I always have to order ahead of time because I get a Veterans' discount and have to order from a special site, so I've had both the original and replacement iPhones in-hand at the same time. Even with one initiated into iOS as brand new (without any transfer of data) and I still encountered the problem. So for me, it has not been fixed even after 18.0.1. I believe Apple is just waiting to release 18.1 and I feel that is unacceptable since I paid $1400 for this phone (minus $650 back for my iPhone 15 Pro Max)! I have remorse for trading in my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Those who haven't encountered the issue are lucky, because 7 out of 10 people I know who have upgraded to iPhone 16 Pro series have complained to me about the issue.

You are NOT writing Apple here. This is a user to user only forum, which no one from Apple participates. We can't fix anything for you.

Did you try anything from this support article --> Adjust how iPhone responds to your touch - Apple Support

If nothing helps, instead of waiting for Apple to release an update which may never come for your issue, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show Apple what you're experiencing.

It was working fine without the glass screen protector, but after installing it, it became very unresponsive.

It’s a problem with or without the screen protector. & Nobody is clicking on sketchy links. That’s completely unrelated to the problem

on my iPhone 16 Pro, same issues. Tried it with and without screen protector .. same issues. When I do a restart, everything works fine for a couple of hours. Please fix it … FAST!
