Haven't tried it yet, i have a developer account but as i saw on youtube it is pretty buggy right now...

But what i saw seems pretty nice, i hope the 16 series won't get performance issues with the new design elements, only time will tell.

Did you install it?

Temuco, but i do travel to Santiago

I was born in Temuco and moved to Santiago when I was a child. Between 2012 and 2014, I worked at Universidad Autónoma and traveled to Temuco every month. 👍🏻

I just got my new pro Max a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t had any serious issues, only a few occasions of minor lack of response. I’ve concluded that it’s the thinner bezels because when I’ve repositioned my hands so that my fingers aren’t overlapping and touching the screen in anyway it becomes instantly responsive again. Maybe that’s all it is?

I just tested several iPhones 16 Pro Max (1TB) with the batteries manufactured in January 2025 (iOS 18.3.1) There are no touch issues at all (tested both without and with a screen protector: Belkin UltraGlass2). The screen quality is very bad though and there is a shift in color from yellow to green if you tilt them. Disappointed.

It is good to know, however, that phones produced in 2025 don’t have any touch problems, it seems.

I’m experiencing the yellow tint on my 16 Pro Max. And when tilting it I can see different color shifts.

For those who are having this touch issue or a yellow tint to their screen, how did you go about getting a replacement? What did you say to Apple that made them give you a new screen?
