Just a week after its highly anticipated release, the iPhone 16 Pro is facing significant backlash from users over touchscreen problems.
Reports indicate that many iPhone 16 Pro users are experiencing serious touchscreen issues, raising concerns among Apple enthusiasts. Users have reported intermittent glitches where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive or exhibits noticeable delays in response. This has sparked discussions across tech forums and social media, with many expressing their frustration.
Experts suggest that the issue is likely not hardware-related but stems from a software bug. The ‘touch rejection algorithm’ in Apple’s iOS may be overly sensitive, mistakenly interpreting intentional touches as unwanted and causing the screen to ignore inputs.
One frustrated user shared their experience on Reddit, stating that when tapping near the camera control button, the entire display—except for the home bar—becomes unresponsive until the touch is released, adding to the list of concerns.
Interestingly, this glitch only occurs when the device is unlocked and in use, indicating that the issue is likely rooted in software. This raises hopes that a future iOS update could address the problem.
Additionally, two specific issues have been reported in the new iPhone 16 lineup: one related to a limiter on the refresh rate and another causing the touchscreen to freeze.
Apple has yet to respond officially, but users remain hopeful for a software fix to resolve these issues soon.
