iPhone 16 Users Report Touchscreen Issues Across Multiple Models

Early adopters of Apple's iPhone 16 series and other models running iOS 18 are experiencing intermittent touch responsiveness problems.

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.
Typing and swiping actions are particularly affected, with missed keystrokes and ignored gestures leading to user frustration.
Apple has yet to officially acknowledge the issue, but a software update to address the problem is expected soon.
