iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Unresponsive

Yes I’m having the same issue while swiping between the apps and While typing. I will try to update IOS 18.1 Public Beta 1 and see if it is going to fix or not otherwise I’ll have to go to the apple store and fix it.

Hi I’m here to tell you my My experience

I’ve been tried so many different methods to solve the problem but the effective one its to reset the keyboard dictionary its been work for me 85% almost and thank you

on October 1st I reported the same incident to Apple Support in the Netherlands (unresponsive touchscreen). They said: this issue together with the too sensitive sides that activate phone while holding on the sides is being worked on and should get solved with a software update.

As it is also mentioned in the media. Known bug that will be solved. When? Nobody knows.

But as understanding as we can be, how could this have gone so wrong?? This is the absolute first thing you discover when installing your brand new iPhone 16 pro Max that any Apple employee must have experienced themselves!

I am only 5 hours into unboxing and setting this iPhone 16 pro max up and I’m finding that I’m having to double click on apps and letters from the keyboard just to get the phone to pick it up. Such a shame, I hope a system software fixes this asap. I guess I’m not ready to sell my 13 pro Max just yet…

I bought the 16 pro max last week, and omg !

the keypad is killing me !! It’s sooo unresponsive! I have to tap on every letter 2-3 times to finally get it to type !

it’s really annoying me!

the whole phone whether it’s the software or the hardware is laggy! Pls help !

what should we do ?

It feels as if the speed is slow, specially delete button and typing again. Swiping on Instagram stories is also slow and sometimes the touch doesnt feel like working with the speed. My 13 pro max was much better.

I have the same issue. The keyboard doesn’t recognize touch, I have to hit the screen hard to make it type. Moreover the battery drain is crazy, even though 16 pro max is claimed to have the best battery.

I upgraded from the 13 thinking it's about time I upgrade. Was going to get the 15 pro but then it was just one more week of waiting and then got the 16 pro. The screen worked fine until I put on the screen protector. Now I have to be cautious when typing. I saved up all that money for this. They did release an update claiming it'll fix the issue but when it installed I'm still having the same issue.

Shout out to auto correct for fixing some typing malfunctions during this post.

Would you mind sharing the exact steps you did? Like, did you just turn touch accommodations on, then perform two Force restarts back to back, and then turned touch accommodations back off? Because iOS 18.0.1 definitely helped improve my phone’s issues, but the screen/keyboard still lags quite often.

I’m hitting the send arrow HARD and the emojis etc and it doesn’t respond. Brand new phone. No screen protector.

ALSO I’m running the 120

hz refresh rate and quite often I get static bars across the screen vertically. At first I thought it might be interference with my computer or something but it’s happening more frequently

On Friday I purchased two iPhone 16pro 256gb one in white and one in titanium grey or back what ever it was. The white one so far no issues. My one though …… well here goes the issues of only 3 days in

unresponsive touch screen

screen lag

camera shuts down when opening app then black screen

apps not working properly

phone heating up

the loss of 45% battery in an hour

no sound

unable to make calls despite having signal

keyboard slow

Mine has been replaced by apple, they were actually really good about it, I thought I was going to get push back from the store in Bluewater but their manager and staff straight away jumped me to the front of the list and sorted it. Mine was a hard drive / possibly memory issue so the new phone I set up from new and touch wood all working fine. It’s now linked my ultra watch and aligned my SIM card in my watch so well chuffed. The online diagnostic wasn’t showing any issues it’s when I went in and they dig deeper they found the issue. Good luck all and thank you apple

I'll ask again whether anyone has seen this on any store demo 16 PM.

I've spent hours trying to reproduce any sign of this on in-store phones and have never been able to, and have never seen it on my own device, though I'd like to.

There's got to be some configuration/app issue causing this, I've just no idea what it could be.

Same I have the 16 Pro same issue I have a phone shop and have had many people coming in reporting the same, I have said they must report it to Apple as the more people that do the more likely Apple will respond. I have the latest software not fixed anything.
