Anyone notice the touch response is not as good as past models?

I think with the new sensor technology, the buttons and links are more precise. You have to click right on them rather than having a few pixel buffer. I personally haven't noticed any issues.

i have noticed a slight issue.. when i text, it does not register as quickly as it used to like on my 4s...hoping its just a software issue

I've noticed this too. I've also noticed my autocorrect doesn't work like it used to.

Well guys... I got a replacement phone and this one is definitely better. I'm sorry to say. It's much more like my 4S (and 4 and 3GS)

Yep and there's a scientific reason for that:

To a capacitive screen, we're the rough electrical equivalent of a six foot diameter bag of water.

That's because our blood vessels are close to the surface of our skin, and blood plasma and electrolytes are very conductive.

When we're cold, those capillaries are closed off, we become less of a conductor, and the screen will have a harder time detecting us.

A couple of decades ago we did a lot of capacitive screens for casinos, and got experience with thousands of users. There was a small percentage of people who just never registered well on the screens. Some wore lots of lotion, some had callouses and perhaps some just didn't have good bloodflow to their fingers.

Aha! So THAT'S what it is. I have Reynaud's & my fingers are cold a lot of the time; occasionally it'll take me a couple of tries for a touch to register and that has always pissed me off, but this explanation makes total sense. Thanks!

I was going through settings and trying to slide items off and ON. I noticed that sometimes it does not register my finger swipe. Anyone else notice this?

I agree 100% I actually made a thread about it earlier today.

I am going to bring mine into an apple store and have it looked at. I have to try 3 or 4 times to get the sliders in settings to work, sometimes even turning the phone sideways. Something is up......will post a followup.

No, but I have noticed a substantial increase in the number of nonsense threads with people coming up with all kinds of ridiculous imaginary issues.

I had a defective screen where it was registering a tap about 4mms above the surface of the phone. The "genius" had never seen the issue before and swapped out the phone. The replacement had been perfect.

I agree mine isn't as good as my iPhone 4
