How can I fix touch sensitivity issues on my new iPhone 16 Pro Max?

I just bought an iPhone 16 PM. Trying to type this is a real struggle. What options do I have or should I wait until the next software release. This is extremely frustrating. This is the worst experience I’ve had with an iPhone

Getting iPhone Screen to Respond to Touch:

So, is it all applications you touch? Or is it only certain ones? If you are using a screen cover then remove it.


A. If the Screen isn't Eorking on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


B. Close All Apps:

These Apps may be open. So, save what need be, and then close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up form the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.


C. Perform a Force Restart:

Try Force Restarting your iPhone. Save any information that need be. Then perform the restart. See if you can then perform this. Go Here: Force Restart iPhone - Apple Support
