Just a week after launching iPhone 16 series, users of iPhone 16 Pro report critical issues with the touchscreen. Many have experienced screen becoming unresponsive or reacting slowly, leading to frustration among users who expected more from Apple’s latest model.
Experts point to a software bug, not hardware, as the cause of problem. The ‘touch rejection algorithm’ in Apple’s iOS system seems to cause the issue by mistakenly ignoring accidental touches. However, it appears to be mistakenly blocking intentional touches, causing screen to ignore essential inputs.
One iPhone 16 Pro user described the issue on Reddit. When they touch near camera control button, the entire screen, except for home bar, stops responding until they lift their finger. The problem only occurs when users unlock the phone, further suggesting that the software, not the hardware, is at fault.

So far, Apple hasn’t made an official statement. However, many users hope Apple will release a software update soon to resolve the issue. Since the problem is likely a software bug, there’s a good chance a future iOS update will fix it, restoring iPhone 16 Pro to normal performance.
Meanwhile, users are advised to stay patient and keep their devices updated in case Apple rolls out a fix soon. While the issue has caused inconvenience, experts remain optimistic that the solution is within reach. For now, users can try basic troubleshooting steps, such as restarting their devices or resetting touchscreen settings, though these are only temporary fixes. As anticipation builds for Apple’s next software update, many are hopeful that iPhone 16 Pro will soon function as seamlessly as promised.
