iPhone 16 Pro Max - Touch Screen Sensitivity Issues

Same here. New iphone 16 Pro Max. Touchscreen is often unresponsive. This occurs when I am scrolling down and the screen does not move. The back button, especially in the upper left corner is often not responsive. Sometimes I have to hit it 5 or 6 times to get it to work. Based on the posts on this subject I am obviously not the only one having this problem. I have updated the software, reset the network, etc. No help. I went to Apple Chat and went through their diagnostics process, it seemed to help a little, but the problem is still there. Apple must be aware of this problem and must be working on a fix, at least I hope so. Thanks.

Same here. 16 pro max and -bytheway- I also returned back to my 13 pro. With a crystal clear difference. And also I returned back the 16 pro max and I expect to get the money without issues hopefully.

Did u do this via apple direct? Bought my phone like under a month via Verizon.

Misery loves company I guess.

Insane the top of line phone from apple is this defective out the gate. Left thumb hurts. I wonder if it’s software or hardware or both. Lots of same reports on Reddit. Silence from Apple. This could be the push to Android for me dependent on a fix or warranty. A swap to another phone same model 16 ProMax I bet has same issue.

I switched from Android to Apple. Thought it’s an apple thing but it’s a genuine issue. The touch requires a little more pressure to make things work. I face a lot of challenges with swipe functionality in YouTube or in general as well. Typing this itself feels so weird. Is there any setting to change which can help increase the sensitivity? Or what is the possible solution to this? Pls help

same issue, 16 promax, no protector. worst area is upper left. the reddit postings are just guesswork on cause.

Yes, via Apple. I still didn’t recrive the refund but I don’t expect any issues with that.

I am also facing same issue. Touch is not at all very responsive. Facing difficulty in typing letter from the keyboard

Not sure how anyone can say this is software vs hardware. If it’s a bad run of phone hardware we are all hosed.

What is the Reddit link?

Yeah. We just got two. Both seem to have this problem. Unresponsive, extremely slow on the bottom of the screen. Sucks because the 16 pro doesn’t have this issue. I would have saved my money.
