A bug affects the basic action that no one can avoid performing on the iPhone or any smartphone!
The iPhone 16 Pro has already reached the hands of users around the world, generating mixed comments regarding the appreciation of it. While experts have begun to evaluate the resistance to falls or quality of the camera or are examining internal parts, Ordinary users have been forced to speak out about the “ghost touches” they have experienced with the iPhone 16 Pro.
Ghost touches happen when the device’s touchscreen ignores your commands. In this case, these occur when you brush the edges of the screen, especially near the camera, the iPhone “locks up” and does not respond to your touches.Of course, this is a problem that affects the user experience, capable of generating frustration among the owners of this latest Apple model.
iPhone 16 users are upset by “ghost touches”
Unfortunately, this annoyance has brought iPhone owners together on a Reddit channel where they have detailed the problem. The root cause of this problem appears to be a bug in the iPhone 16 Pro software. Specifically, The accidental touch rejection system, designed to prevent unwanted actions, is being activated unintentionally.
According to feedback from some affected users, it could also be due to the iPhone 16 Pro’s thinner bezels making it easier to accidentally tap the edges of the display, or the fact that the touch rejection algorithm appears to be overly sensitive, causing valid taps to be ignored.
In any case, since it involves a software problem, it is likely to be easier to solve in an upcoming iOS 18 update. But it is still a disappointing situation for those who want to use their new iPhone for the first time.
Thinner bezels – a good decision?
Personally, I’m surprised that the bezels are considered a possible cause of the problem. Especially after the first videos testing the iPhone 16 Pro’s resistance to drops also mentioned the new design of this component as a factor that affects the results of that test.
For now, we’ll have to wait for further analysis to determine how successful the decision to slim down the edges in favor of a larger screen was.
“Ghost touches” are an annoying issue affecting some iPhone 16 Pro users. However, it’s important to remember that Apple has a history of responding quickly to software issues, and a fix is likely on the way.
