Just a week after the eagerly awaited launch of the iPhone 16 series, users of the iPhone 16 Pro have begun reporting various touchscreen problems. According to reports, many users have encountered intermittent glitches, where the touchscreen either becomes unresponsive or responds with noticeable delays.

Experts suggest that the problem is not due to hardware malfunctions but is instead a “software bug.” It is thought that a hypersensitivity feature in Apple’s iOS system, specifically the “touch rejection algorithm,” is mistakenly interpreting intended touches as unwanted, resulting in the screen ignoring essential inputs.

A Reddit post from an iPhone 16 Pro user highlights the frustration experienced by many. The post states that when a user touches near the camera control button, the entire display (except for the home bar) becomes unresponsive until the touch is lifted, further perplexing users.

Interestingly, this issue only occurs when the phone is unlocked; it does not manifest when the device is locked. This strongly suggests that the problem is software-related rather than hardware-based and could potentially be fixed in a future iOS update.

Apple has not yet issued an official statement on the situation, but many users are hopeful that a software solution is forthcoming to resolve these concerns.
