Overview
- Users on Reddit report unresponsive touchscreens on the iPhone 16, 16 Pro, and older models after updating to iOS 18.
- The issue appears to be related to the new Camera Control button and overly sensitive palm rejection algorithms.
- Some users note that slimmer bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro may be contributing to the problem by causing accidental touches.
