iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

two issues with my iPhone 16 pro max IOS 18:

1) keyboard lacks of responsiveness, oftentimes I have to double click when typing or It misses letters.

2) when searching for apps or contacts and using the swipe down function if starting a word with the letter «s», the search immediately disappears and spotlight shuts down.

what to do? Do I have a faulty device or is this an OS issue?

thanks and regards!

Your issues may relate to iOS 18 software glitches. For the keyboard lag, try resetting keyboard settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary). The "S" search bug is likely a Spotlight indexing error—restart the device or reinstall iOS via Recovery Mode. If problems persist after updating to iOS 18.1 (released October 2024), contact Apple Support for hardware diagnostics.
