iPhone 16 Pro users experiencing touchscreen issues, some taps and swipes ignored


An increasing number of iPhone 16 Pro owners are reporting intermittent issues with their phone’s touchscreen responsiveness. Users experience taps...

Based on our testing, reader reports, and a growing number of online complaints, the issue appears to stem from a software bug, rather than a hardware fault. The issue may be exacerbated by the iPhone 16 Pro’s thinner-than-ever screen bezels, which makes it easier for the user’s skin to inadvertently contact the edges of the display. The issue is more likely to occur when the phone is used without a case, as it is easier to unintentionally rest fingers over the slim screen borders.
