Software causes problems with the screen of the latest iPhone

The latest iPhone was released last week and there are already devices that are not functioning properly. Many complaints have been received, especially about the iPhone 16 Pro. The touchscreen of this phone does not work properly.

Users complain on X about the problem, the keys on the keyboard don’t always seem to work. Swiping often does not work and in some cases the screen freezes. This is what users of the new model experience. The device occasionally simply ignores your touches.

If your phone use affects your daily life, this might be a solution:

Cause

“The problem seems to come from an overly sensitive ‘rejection’ of touch,” writes Bright.nl. The phone has a function that can detect and reject accidental touches, so that your phone doesn’t do anything strange on its own. “This software is currently too strict and rejects almost everything, rather than just the palm of your hand.” So the problem is mainly around your screen.

The good news is that it is not the device itself, but the software. So you don’t have to send your phone in for repair. A software update should solve the problem. Apple has announced that it is working on an update that would fix the errors in the software. It is still unclear exactly when the update will be available, but it is expected that this will be towards the end of next week.

Temporary solution

Is that waiting too long and do you want a solution to your problem in the meantime? Then purchasing a case could help. This will not completely eliminate the problem, according to Bright.nl, but it could at least reduce it somewhat. For those who want to be able to work undisturbed again quickly, this can provide some temporary relief.
