IOS 16 UI Lag and Ghost Touch

My XS still useless... Ghost Touch since IOS 16............................

i have iphone x and since i have updated the phone to ios 16 and then ios 16.02 and i could not use the phone at all due to the problems in touch screen and the ghost touch that prohibited me to conduct any activity on the phone and even it sends emails and call people instead of me ! now i moved to an old iphone model with an old ios model till you get this problem fixed appreciate your prompt support

I'm having exactly the same problems on my 11 pro, its got much worse since I updated to 16.0.2 I can hardly use it anymore.

I have the same issue on iPhone XR. Can confirm IOS 16.1 beta 4 does not address this issue whatsoever.

Woke up to this issue this morning. Phone started acting up last night with Airpods not connecting correctly and volume button taps not being recognised. Now the entire device is laggy even after multiple restarts. Most tap/swipe events don't register for several seconds and when they do the animations are choppy. Phone is heating up and draining battery like crazy yet nothing is really reported in the battery section of the Settings app.

I had the same issue as many of you… non-apple replacement screen … updated iPhone X A1865 to ios 16.0.2 and when I woke up I couldn’t unlock my phone swipe would not work and touch accommodations wasn’t the fix. you can either buy a genuine apple OLED screen or disconnect the screen ribbon cables from the logic board and the battery cable. Plug in the two screen cables then the battery and that’s it. Very important that the battery is plugged in last I don’t have one so I couldn’t try but there’s a device that’s supposed to calibrate your phone to your screen but most of us don’t have these.

started with this issue a week ago. iPhone XS 256gb with iOS 16.0.2 The iPhone is fully original, never had to replace anything.

I can’t believe this issue hasn’t been solved, my phone has become useless at times.

IOS 16.1 Public Beta 5 fixes this issue for me

This is ridiculous. I have the same problem on iphone 11. Lag error when typing in all apps. Apple fix it fast because it is impossible to use the device.

Hi there,

Same. iPhone 11pro - updated to 16.03 - wiped the phone and reformatted -and it's worse than ever.

Same this has been happening to my iPhone xs 64gb , ghost touching and it shows some kind of clipboard bar on top, it has made my device totally unusable, i got my xs used , but previous owner was certain he didnt replace the screen , so im sure this bug is software issues not hardware, please apple support fix this

Same here, had it on my XS (never had the screen replaced) for just over a month now. It began with the phone having a crazy seizure for about 10 mins, followed by a day of intense ghost touches and completely having a mind of its own, to then settling on the state its in now - the central, vertical portion of the screen at about a width of 1.5cm is completely unresponsive.

I'm not going to lie, this has really, really put me off Apple. Not even so much as an acknowledgement of the issue, despite what I'd say is a substantial number of people who are making it known they have the issue too. I'm currently travelling Latin America and now in Mexico - not the kind of place you'd want a non functional phone.........

Same issue, iPhone XS owned from new, no replacement parts. At first the screen was all buggy and glitchy so I entered DFU and wiped it. Aftrer restore still glitchy. I then used the recomended workarround of accessability bla bla and it seems more responsive but there is a secondary issue. There is a complete void down the left hand side of the screen. I opened a photo and in edit mode I can colour the whole thing in bar the left 5-10% of the photo. There is no way I have damaged touch this is absolutly a software issue like the touch area is incorrectly configured.
