Same. But I’ve tried two other brands one even the same that I use on my wife’s 14PM, and I get the same results, missed taps. Makes me think apple didn’t calibrate these screens correctly.
Got a tip for us?

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

The screen slightly curves into the bezels. My 14PM was completely flat. I noticed these protectors for the 16PM leave a a little space on toward the bezels because of that slight curve.It’s annoying but not yet wanting to “waste” a screen protector to see if it fixes the issue.
But what do you mean by the slightly curved display? Does the stock screen have a slight curve to it?
Here’s something I just noticed for my particular website scrolling issue that leads me to believe it’s a software issue. It only happens if I set my finger down on an “actionable” item on the webpage, such as the header image to go home or a hyperlink. I can’t get the issue to happen when I start on an empty space.
16 Pro 512GB - (no screen protector and a Spigen tough armor case). I removed the case and tried using it the way I normally do and didn't have an issue. I tried gripping it more near the camera control button (where my palm would be resting on that area) and it still worked fine. I had to actually use my finger touched right to that edge near the camera control to get the unintended touch algorithm to kick in (where it works like it is supposed to with touch input being ignored for a short period). Seems like a software issue.
Im finding it hilarious when people say what colour iPhone they have as well, like that even matters.
It’s definitely not the screen protector. I put the ESR protector for the 16PM on my trade in 13PM and it works flawlessly.
Imagine buying a nice leather sofa and then covering it with a plastic cover. Whats the point? Never understood it.
Best way is to go case-less and without the screen protector. YOLO.

Personally, micro scratches drive me nuts and considering that AC+ won't replace screens for scratches, that's why I use one.
The iPhone could look like a potato and I still would put a cover on it.
I was having issues without a screen protector on 16PM, 18.1b4. When I was holding the side of the phone and touching a tenth of an inch or so of the bezel, the touch screen just stopped being responsive. But it seems resolved in b5… for me, at least.
cut/paste is randomly very difficult - my 16 pro max is having touch issues sitting on the desk so it's more than the side hold rejection. Called apple support and they ran diagnostic said phone not showing anything abnormal and to take to apple store for further evaluation. problems with and without screen protector.
Yeah I feel that the articles are only highlighting the touch issues around the camera button. Hopefully it’s all tied together
Do you still have your old phone with everything on it?
I would return it in that case and just wait and buy it later, maybe even with a discount from a reseller.
Do we know if these have been reported to Apple or has anyone tried getting support in an Apple Store to see what they say? Unfortunately I live too far from any store, but I did contact support through messages however they wouldn't entertain me because I was on 18.1 Public Beta. It was funny that they managed to crash my phone when running diagnostics though and I had to reboot the phone!
The media is picking up the story now and it is being reported more widely. Apple has to be aware by now.
I tried the same and it does seem to help a bit but still an issue. Might also just be my perception that it is helping because I want it so desperately to work.
Running that on my 16 PM and the touch screen issue is still buggy. One moment it works fine then it randomly stops responding to some touches. And this is even when I use it one handed with the phone in a stand.
16 pm 1tb using latest dev beta. no screen protector. no case. did not do a backup/restore -- manually setup my phones.
im experiencing zero lag or touch issues on the device. its the black variant. the only reason i knew this was an issue with some is this thread.
