The Issue with iPhone 16 Pro Touchscreen

Millions of people received their iPhone 16 units on Friday or bought one in stores. However, early buyers are also the most likely to discover any issues with the new devices. It looks like the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max have a display issue that is impacting some people.

The Touchscreen Becomes Unresponsive

The iPhone 16 Pro touchscreen can become unresponsive at times, preventing taps and swipes. This issue seems to be a software problem rather than a hardware issue. The display might be too sensitive when registering multiple touches. A software update might fix the bug in the future.

Possible Causes of the Issue

Two of the iPhone 16 Pro’s signature features might be to blame for the issue. These are the ultra-slim bezels and the Camera Control button. According to reports, the phone’s touch rejection algorithm might be too sensitive, causing it to ignore intended touches.

Some users found that resting their finger around the Camera Control button triggers the issue.

The ultra-thin bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro models might increase the risk of accidentally touching the screen while holding it.

Once an accidental touch is registered, the rest of the screen might become unresponsive.

Fixing the Issue

It’s unclear how many iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max owners are experiencing the issue. However, everything indicates that there is no issue with the screen itself. Apple will likely fix the touch algorithms with a software update in the coming weeks.
