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

I got mine replaced but it’s another August build unfortunately. It‘s on 18.1 and still has the same misses along the edge of the screen with the keyboard and in Instagram stories tapping the ‘X’ for example as @MagneticResonance mentioned.
I’ll have to try again but getting a replacement outside of the return window isn’t easy.

Yes, display test and they saw that some parts of display font’ working.
now It Semestre better but i think in some app like Instagram and app i must press more time
I think that more or less they are all like that. Even mine occasionally miss some taps 🤷♂️
Sono tutti così 🙄
I think that also the screen protector play some role in this annoying behavior.
Thank u for your support.
my father have october built or september, it se s different, more reactive.
August too.
Isee that my touch is missing some taps sometimes: I don’t remember if it happened with the iPhone 15 Pro Max as well.
Did the first one you changed have obvious issues?
You say the one you have now is more responsive… in what way? Mine doesn’t lag; it’s very smooth and snappy, but it does occasionally miss some taps. Is it possible that he uses it without a screen protector?
This is more reattive then before.
I use my phone witb screen protector.
So the next time i will be go at store for another test for my iPhone 😏

Probably the same ones people returned for the same reasons. 🤣

No. I have no issues with my phone right now.
Mine also have missed touches in the very edges. This is surely not a hardware fault but rather a consequence of having such thin bezels. It is a palm rejection algorithm causing this. Replacing will not help.
If this is a big issue I actually recommend downgrading to 15 Pro that has more bezel. Sad but I don't see how Apple can fix this without causing accidental touches/input instead...
This was my thought but I begrudge the idea of buying last year's phone as currently 15 PM brand new aren't much cheaper from any stores here in the UK, currently there's only the equivalent of $100 between this year and last modelsNo. I have no issues with my phone right now.

There should be plenty of pre-owned units in excellent condition with a much lower price.
If the touch issue is a big annoyance then it might be worth it even if it is financially less sound though. Getting rid of frustration is worth a lot imho.
I have the same issue as yours and mine is a July build. The backspace is actually very disturbing, apart from that everything is manageable which it shouldn’t be when you are buying such an expensive device and in my country there is no return policy I can only replace it if there is a fault in the apple diagnostics which it didn’t show. So I am stuck.No. I have no issues with my phone right now.

Major annoyance but will be a deal breaker if they don’t fix it with a software update. One may not agree with me but the cost is not justified in the current situation.
I’m agree!
We are speaking of new iPhone! This isn’t accept for a new device!
The touch issue there is!
Anyone experiencing the issue needs to submit feedback via the feedback app. It’s quick to do. It says more than 10 recent similar reports and resolution is “open”.
I wish I can find a September or newer build to see if it’s software or hardware.

I have done it thrice but I guess a lot more people need to do it for them to look into it.
I think a wiser approach would be to send some mail to macrumors and sites like 9to5mac and ask them to write about those problems. So far everything shows that Apple knows about the problems but is trying to hide/limit the impact. Like they just released their earnings for this year and they are happy, they really don't care and don't want to provide any support unless it will get very loud about those problems. For them it is much better to keep silent, sell all the products they want and eventually repair some for people who really want high quality. By accepting the problem they would have to exchange all the devices produces in faulty batches and that would mean huge losses and would be similar to Galaxy Notes explosive batteries
