iPhone 16 Pro users are facing touchscreen issues | Infinium-tech
Online users have reported touchscreen issues on the iPhone 16 Pro. The phone seems to fail to register some swipes and taps, significantly impacting functionality. This issue is being observed on both iOS 18 and iOS 18.1.
It is believed that the palm rejection algorithm is to blame as the problem is more prevalent around the edges of the screen, especially around the camera control buttons. The software sometimes ignores touches around the edges for a while after your hand has come in contact with other parts of the screen.
Some speculate that the reason for such an aggressive palm rejection algorithm is the thin bezels, and a semi-effective solution is to use a case. This way, the screen is less likely to touch the edge, and it will work normally.
Interestingly, the issue doesn’t appear when the phone’s screen is locked, which suggests that it’s a software issue, which means Apple will fix it sooner or later with an upcoming software update. Until then, using a case is the best solution to protect against the accidental touch algorithm.
