iPhone 16 Pro Max Touch issues with 16 Pro / Pro Max display

Just tried it exactly as you described on her 16PM, no case, with a Spigen Glas.TR screen protector installed. Can't replicate it, it still swipes/taps normally.
Yes! I really thought this was just me. Question is, what’s to blame? The phone or the screen protector? I notice this the most when typing very quickly.
It's the phone's fault. This should be a software issue. I guess they modified the anti-mis-touch algorithm due to the narrowing of the screen bezel, and this algorithm currently has problems.
This is also a problem on my 16 Pro. I’ve had issues with the leftmost upper button in the mail app since launch day and thought I had a faulty display. Anecdotally testing after seeing this thread and it does appear to only occur when my hand is also on the screen near the capture control.
I encourage all of you having the issues to report it here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/
That way they will get flooded with feedback and hopefully solve it quickly with a software update.
Thanks.
Well, from all I read and correct me if I am wrong, the trouble with lag sensitivity touch appears to be the device, and so do you think they would recall the iphone 16"s?
I too noticed this when switching between my old 14 plus and the 16PM. I have tap firmer or tap again for the screen to register.
Both phones have screen protectors on right from unboxing them so I don't know if its any better without the protector on the 16 PM.

Hope you guys a filing bug reports. Otherwise Apple won't know to fix it.
You know what I see in your vid? I see the palm of your hand resting on the screen as you’re trying to tap back. Pretty sure doing this will cause the issue you’re seeing. Notice how this is with the “Pro Max” phones. The phone is bigger and there’s a smaller bezel. Lots of touch points will cause it not to respond.
16 Pro Max here w/screen protector. No issues at all.
The issue is the camera control button. If your skin touches it while trying to use the touch screen, it locks up.

I was just at the Apple Store and every demo 16 Pro and Pro Max had the issue. The employee’s phones did too. It’s just that bit of screen next to the camera control. It’s a problem for right-handed people who don’t have a case on their phone.
I have 2 16PMs in front of me. One does it, one does not. Both on same software.
Ok , so for all who thinks that this is because of new cammera button , try this.
Go in settings , acesibility , phisical & motor and find camera button. Turn this feature of , if it os causing the issues , issues will be gone , and you will be able to use camera the old way.
Let me know is there an improvement

Same issue with my 16 PM on 18.1 B4, seems to be ignoring touch input at random. Thought I would check here and it’s great to see I’m not alone. Makes using and even typing a pain in the ass. 18.1 B4 was perfect on the 15 PM so it’s hopefully it’s just a software bug.
