Some users of Reddit They are complaining about the touch screen of the iPhone 16 Pro. These and other problems are being collected in a thread within the social network.
The iPhone 16 Pro is apparently not registering some swipes and taps, which significantly affects its functionality. It should be noted that these issues are present in both iOS 18 and iOS 18.1.
Problems with the screen of the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
The palm rejection algorithm is speculated to be to blame because the problem is most prevalent at the edges of the hand, especially around the camera control button. The software sometimes ignores touches around the edges for a short time after other parts of the screen have come into contact with the hand.
Other users believe that the reason for such an aggressive palm rejection algorithm is the thinner bezels, and a semi-effective solution is to use a thicker case. This way, you are less likely to touch the edge of the screen and thus operate normally.
“If the skin of your hand accidentally touches the area next to the new camera control button first, the entire screen becomes unresponsive until you release it, except for the home bar. This is the only area that causes the problem… The temporary solution, for now, is to try to avoid that area or use your left hand more.” Known_Tap_1462
Interestingly, the issues are not observed when the phone’s screen is locked, suggesting it is a software issue, so Apple will likely have a fix with the next software update.
Until then, if you have an iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max and are experiencing these issues, you should use a case.
