Exactly from last many months, we’re all discussing touch screen issue, screen protector, battery manufacturing date, replacement of iPhone & screen replacement but not a single solution stand concrete, so maybe some apps are not optimized.

I don’t have the same problem but i feel like my screen is over sensitive? Every time i try to scroll through safari tabs, it always registers that I’m clicking on a tab instead of scrolling. Super annoying as i have to “open” a few tabs before i get to the one i want. Had a 14 plus before this and never had a problem with it.
Yes but this problem there aren’t on all iPhone 16 pro max, there are phone that all is K
Robinhood’s is bad in the center of screen where you can choose 1D, 1W, Month, YTD charts.. its awful.
"Not yet optimized" for what exactly? There is nothing to optimize for. Those apps are ancient, and there isn't some major hardware/software change on Apple's end that requires months of app optimization to accommodate.
I don't use WhatsApp, but the back button in Instagram works fine for me.
Is here the problem! 16pm have little problem on the edge of corner.
Have a few sensitivity where u have back buttom otften up right and left side
Indeed, in my case it is a problem that only happens to me on WhatsApp very occasionally. It doesn't happen to me on Instagram. Probably the apps should adjust the sensitivity to the new dimensions of the screen with smaller bizels. Some mention that it only happens to them in some certain games. Does it happen to you in Robinhood? I don't know that app, is it a game?
My mistake. Another person uploaded a comment in relation to that app. Greetings!
No, the 16 or 16 plus have no problems. Pro models only.
it seems like apple is pretty sure that their ios 18.2.1 build has fixed the touch issue. or maybe many users reported the touch issue has been partially fixed on the latest 18.2.1 build. so today they sent me another response after being silent since november 1st. before that i sent a problem report about the issue where the screen sometimes ignores some touches causing me to tap again and again and it was driving me crazy. and they told me to update to the latest version when it was build 18.1. and i replied that it didn't fix my issue at all. and they have been silent since then until today.
I've practically had no problems with beta 2 of iOS 18.3 and since I took out the screen protector too.
My situation improved significantly after the iOS 18.2.1 update but now I can easily reproduce the issue by swiping right from the outside left edge of the screen, out of 10 swipes 1-2 times the device will skip and not recognize the swipe, or more.
Same issues swapped out at Apple Store from Black to a Gold. No issues even with screen saver protection on.
I hate this phone so much. I have an Apple Store appointment to hopefully swap out my device for a different pro max. This is the worse iphone I’ve ever had by miles. I’d be happier using an older phone.
Frame rate drops, stuttering, touch sensitivity issues.. this phone feels old when using it. What a disappointment. Can’t wait to get rid of this phone.

I also have a bitter feeling. Because after 3 months with the Iphone 16 Pro Max, although it is true that it has improved noticeably, I still feel uncomfortable without a screen protector, and with "post-traumatic stress", so I use it with fear that the touch will fail. I made a decision, to have it until it comes out the 17 PM, and after making sure everything is fine, I'll change it. And if Apple is still as bad, I'll go for a Pixel 10 Pro XL, but I'll never buy a newly released phone again, I'll do it after at least 1 month of looking at reviews, and being 100% sure.
