iPhone 16 Pro has screen problems that make users uncomfortable

The iPhone 16 Pro's display is reportedly having issues with recognizing touches and swipes. The issue was revealed by a Reddit user, and the post quickly received a lot of comments, with many users complaining about the same issue. The issue is said to be happening on both iOS 18 and iOS 18.1.

Based on reports, the main culprit seems to be the palm rejection algorithm. The issue is most prominent at the edges of the display and also in the area of ​​the new Camera button.

Users report that the software sometimes ignores touches around corners for a short time after other parts of the screen have come into contact with the hand, and one of the iPhone 16 Pro's best new features could be indirectly causing this.

As for why the palm rejection algorithm is working, it all comes down to the rather thin bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro. To avoid this, it's best to use a case for the iPhone 16 Pro as it reduces the feeling of touching the edges of the screen.

This is an undocumented issue that only occurs when the user touches the iPhone 16 Pro screen, so it is considered a software issue rather than a hardware issue with the device. This means that Apple could release a fix for the issue in a software update at any time. At the moment, iOS 18.1 is in beta and has not yet resolved the issue.
