iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max owners complain of touchscreen issues

Some owners of the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are complaining about problems with the responsiveness of their devices' screens. Users note that the display sometimes does not respond to touches, which causes significant inconvenience.

Here's What We Know

The problem appears to be software-related rather than hardware-related, which gives hope that it can be resolved with an update. One cause could be an overly sensitive touch rejection algorithm that prevents accidental taps. Specifically, the problem occurs when your finger touches the area next to the new camera control button, causing subsequent taps to be ignored. The image below shows how accidentally touching the marked small area causes input on the iPhone 16 Pro series to be rejected.

A temporary solution may be to avoid this area or use your left hand. Apple has experienced similar issues in the past, and users are hopeful that the company will quickly release an update that will fix this flaw.
