Some iPhone 16 Pro users are experiencing touchscreen issues. Are those thin bezels and the Camera Control button to blame?

In what appears to be an iOS 18 bug, users of iPhones including the iPhone 16 Pro are reporting touches and taps not being recognized.

Some users have been reporting unresponsiveness near the iPhone 16 Pro’s Camera Control button, with speculation that this is tied to the phone's accidental touch-detection system. With the problem occurring when users accidentally rest their skin on that part of the phone.

Basically, the iPhone 16 Pro's screen can become unresponsive if you accidentally rest part of your palm or another area of skin on the edge of the phone's display. You can see the issue in action in a Mastodon post by Khaos Tian (via 9to5Mac ).

Apple has been dealing with a bumpy launch of the iPhone 16 series, with even the Pro models seeing a lower than expected demand. But things appear to be getting worse for the brand, as the iPhone 16 Pro owners are now complaining about display issues on their thousand dollar phone.

Zagg is a major name in the screen protector space, and for good reason. The brand makes durable screen protectors that not only offer fantastic drop protection but also advanced scratch and smudge resistance. Zagg screen protectors come with a limited lifetime warranty, so you can get a free replacement for as long as you own your phone.

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro users are reporting touchscreen issues, with taps and swipes often ignored. The problems may stem from a software bug linked to the device's thinner bezels, which can inadvertently trigger touch rejection,

Apple is yet to address the issue but it is highly likely that the company will fix the problem with a software update.
