IOS 16 UI Lag and Ghost Touch

Can anyone update to ios 16.1 to check the touch response?

I also have this problem my phone is unusable. Apple support in Singapore say that they are aware and are working on a fix without a timeframe.

I have filed a small small claims court case against apple here in New Zealand, it's not ok for them to brick our phones and give us no option to fix them other than just wait.

Can anyone confirm the issue still (or no longer) exists on iOS 16.1 ? I gave previous versions a try to no avail, so before wasting my time I thought I could ask

Ok replaying to myself, I gave iOS 16.1 a try on my iPhone X (has its screen replaced using non-Apple spare parts, I guess) - previous iOS 16 version made touch screen unusable (ghost touch issue) - But this time, it's been fixed !!! no need to downgrade to iOS 15.7 this time

Thought some of you guys may want to know

xs with 16.1

for me it seems to be something that runs in the background, and it gets worse on Friday and Saturday

Hi there,

You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.

Same problem! And still no stable update for that! shame on you Apple 🍎

What the heck Apple I literally have the same issue with everyone laggy ghost touches , it starts calling people randomly I have an iPhone 11 and it’s been with me just for 5 months when I update to 16.01 this is what happened!!!!

Im having same issue with an Iphone 13 pro max ios 16.1 lagging and freezing screens using native apps, imessage, mail and safari. Please whats the fix for this!? I cannot operate with these constant issues throughout the day..

Same issue here. Still waiting for any updates from apple team

Same issue here on a factory original iPhone XS with iOS 16.1.2. It seems there are times of the day when this problem does not occur. For example, at some point last night the problem stopped, and I was able to use my phone without any issues. Then around 8 or 8:15am this morning this problem suddenly reappeared.

I've never felt so seen. Just upgraded an iPhone X from 16.1 to 16.2 and the problem is still present. I've noticed when the ghost inputs happen the most, the temperature of the phone is also elevated.

same problem on ios16.3 on my iPhone XS Max

Same on my iPhone 11 running iOS 16.3.1. The ghost touch problem still exist in this version. Although it occurs less in this version but it still annoying. Apple, please fix this.

Same thing happening with me. Since like December 14th (apparently with the release of iPadOS 16.2 I think) my iPad 8th generation (2 years old) literally went nuts. The upper part of the screen (if it's vertical) won’t respond to touch or if it does it does it after many attempts. I thought for a long time that it was my fault but then reading online I noticed that many have this issue. I did all of the things that they suggest online, so restarting it, rebooting it, turning off all of the AssistiveTouch settings (btw I think that AT is a part of this problem, too cause I was using it to turn up the volume since the button is broken), I even brought it to the nearest Apple Center and they asked me €300 to fix it, what???? That’s like more than half of the price that I bought it.

Now it’s updated to iPadOS 16.3.1 but the problem is still here. Luckily I have my keyboard to type, otherwise I couldn’t even do that, since even the typing is broken. If I type on-screen for example the letter A, it will automatically type aaa 🫥

Wtf am I supposed to do? Oh I forgot to mention that I also have a pen (not the Apple Pencil) and sometimes the parts of the screen that my finger won’t touch will be activated by the pen.

I’m ofc really mad cause I need my iPad to study and I can’t afford to buy another one rn.
