My iPhone 15 screen is too sensitive & keeps activating to move apps

Is there a way to prevent this from constantly happening every time I accidentally press anywhere on my screen? How do I make it harder to re-arrange app widgets? Thank you

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

I have this same issue. And it’s not just with the widgets. The phone constantly opens in my bag. I don’t trust it. I think maybe my hand brushes it after I drop it in or it touches something in my bag before it locks or if I’m just carrying it around. I will discover it’s opened and sometimes to something that I really don’t want, some message I don’t want to reply to yet or something like that. Also when I lightly brush the screen setting the phone down watching yt and it will skip to the next video because it thinks I tapped it to do so. Also sometimes I’ve just hovered over a button and it accepts it as if I’ve touched it. This has happened with large purchases I was about to make but was double checking the shipping address or whatever. I’m about to click to confirm but I have NOT touched the screen and it will act as if I have . I hate it . My android never did this along with many other small annoyances that has me mad I switched to iPhone. I don’t understand why everyone thinks they are superior. They maybe once were. But now its just a status symbol. I honestly think they are so much worse. It’s like they got lazy in design while android worked hard toward perfection to compete.
