14 pro max proximity sensor issue

My phone proximity sensor is not working tried different methods of restarting and reset all settings and it did not work! Will changing the proximity sensor fix the issue? Whenever I am on a call the screen stays on in my ears.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 17

proximity sensor When I make calls and the phone is on the ear the proximity sensor turns off the display. However when I remove the phone from the ear to disconnect the display does not turn on 8 times out of 10. It does not respond to taps and I have to press the power button twice to turn on the display at times that also doesn’t work and the display returns only when the other party disconnects the call.

iPhone proximity sensor issue from iOS 15/16 I have been having some issues with the proximity sensor on my iPhone 14 Pro. Most of the times I raise the phone to my ear it does not block the screen from touch, the screen is still on and the audio is still outputted by the speaker. Sometimes blocking and turning the screen off take a few seconds. My ear accidentally pushes the dinamic island, or the screen quick-scrolls to the top. It’s a pretty random behaviour. The issue occurs on any app that I need to use the feature (listening to audios on WhatsApp, Instagram, iMessage etc.). I tried to remove the screen protector, reboot the phone, update the iOS (currently on 16.3.1), all the basic actions. It seems to be a software issue, because recently I changed to iPhone 14 Pro, before I had an iPhone XS and the proximity sensor worked flawlessly, but I started to have the issue on the XS when I updated the iOS to 15 or 16 (sorry I don’t remember from which version exactly I started having this issue on the XS). I have some friends reporting the same issue on different iPhone models. It seems that the developers had to make room for interacting with the dinamic island (now you have feedback from pushing the screen near the proximity sensor, which did not happen before) and it messed up with everything.

Slow proximity sensor on iPhone 14 pro max I think its because of the proximity sensor being under the display, but the proximity sensor is slow on iphone 14 pro max. When I am hearing voice notes in whatsapp, bringing the phone near to ear doesn’t turn off the screen. It works sometimes but very slowly and causes mis-touches. Need some fix for this.

When I was searching for a solution I saw a numbers of 14 pro max has the same issue which is not solved so is that the some of the whole batch has a defect on it?
