My iPhone 16 pro max has a delayed response to the touch and it’s also skipped my touch inputs. It’s mostly happening with the keyboard and the back button on top.
I do have a glass screen protector installed but have seen a lot of other people complaining without the screen protector.
It’s a very wide spread problem.

iPhone 16 Pro Max
I initially bought the Ailun screen protectors on Amazon, and immediately after the phone was not as responsive, and I figured it’s because my fingers were cold at the time. After a day of use, I removed the protector the the problem went away.
i subsequently bought QHOHQ screen protectors on amazon, and same unresponsive problem.
Then I bought the expensive Zagg protector, while it was better, it still was not up to part and I removed it!
TodAy I will show to everyone about buill itiem trackback
I think 18.1.1 seems fixed that problem. Is it ?
I am still on 18.0.1 as I heard 18.1 is a nightmare on battery life. So waiting for few people to authenticate if 18.1.1 actually solved the touch issues then I shall do it.
not completely fixed. the problems are still there. it sounds like you have a placebo effect.
Maybe you are right. Because I also enter DFU and reflash the image at same time. So, I’m not sure is this fixed by flash rom or just upgrade to 18.1.1
Im on the latest update, its so terrible and annoying so much. i just bought 16 pro max 3 days ago but keyboard and sensitivity is so bad
I have the exact same issue. Mainly the back button at the top and lower screen. (Keyboard area) it’s really frustrating
Didn't fixed ****
I am experiencing this exact issue with a glass screen protector as well.
Thank you for this link I’ve shared my honest feedback.
I too purchased the iPhone 16 pro max and it was extremely pricey. The screen continually freezes. It is so frustrating to have spent this amount of money for a non responsive touchscreen.
Especially the back button or X out buttons in Ads are not working when I tap them. It always takes at least two or three taps.
I’m also having the issue and I just recently got my iPhone 16 pro max this year. And has the recent iOS 18.0.1.
My software is up to date but I’m still experiencing the same problem, especially after installing a screen protector.
I am also experiencing this touch screen problem from the very beginning when I got my 16 pro max in September. At the moment the phone is on ios 18.1 and the issue has been narrowed by a bit, but it is still there and is so fr annoying.
The issue I am seeing with the touch screen can be reproduced by touching and holding the very edge of the display, with right hand thumb for example, and with the left hand finger try to slide on the display, and it has frozen. In my opinion most of these issues are caused by the "edge detection algorithm", once you touch the edge of the display, it becomes unresponsive, and making us think that the keyboard doesn't work how it should (not impressed at all how it works anyway). I have tried to reproduce this in the video link "iphone 16 pro max touch screen freezing"
Also regarding the text navigation and correction, I totaly dislike how you navigate through the written text, it is so difficult to point (by touching with your finger) to where you want the cursor to be, e.g. in front, back or between letters of a word , it is giving me headaches. But this is another issue, and I hope they address them both in the end. 2024
