iPhone 16 pro max touch screen not responding properly

Just got the iPhone 16 pro max. The screen is regularly unresponsive I notice it a lot while typing!

I had a google and found a redit thread where lots of people are having the same issue with and without a screen protector on even the people that have paid for Apple to apply it..

Turning on and off doesn’t fix, hard reset, nor does wiping the phone and starting new.

is this a bug that Apple need to release an update for? If so I hope it’s quick!!
