iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

I have only had my phone 2 days and these keyboard issues, makes me want to go back to my 13 Pro Max. Come on Apple, sort it out! You don't pay nearly £1.5k on a phone not to be able to type on it!

The above description from Germananca exactly describes my problems with an iPhone 16 max pro !

I just got my phone last night and noticed this glitchy, slow keyboard. Any way to know whether or not it’ll be fixed soon??? It’s making me regret my purchase.

here you go ! It’s semi fixed

After updating to 18.0.1 today

nothing about this issue has been fixed on my side. Same lack of responsiveness still exists on my side!

the same with me, I was waiting for the new ios hoping that it would solve the problem but now it is even worse, the problem has not been fixed, I hope that Apple is aware that iPhone 16 pro max users have this problem. When I spoke with an agent from Apple, he told me to reset the settings first, I did that and nothing, then to delete everything via iTunes, and that didn't help either, and the last thing was that the new ios 18.01 will solve it, and that didn't work either .

Hi,i have had an same issue,I booked an appointment to apple store and they resolved this issue by restoring device.and i was advised that do not transfer old phone to new phone while setting up new device.i just backed up from icloud and re-installed app from App Store.and my device is running as expected now.

I just called Apple support and the advisor said she was a senior advisor. She told me she was not aware of this issue with iPhone 16 pro max keyboard. I told her that the support community had many people with this problem. She told me that if I reset my iPhone it will probably fix this problem. She said if it doesn’t work call them back. It doesn’t fix the problem. Apple needs to get moving on fixing this issue. These phones are not cheap and therefore they should work as they were intended!

Bought my new iPhone 16 Pro Max last night and after just a few hours of using it I find the keyboard's lack of responsiveness infuriating. It essentially makes everything about using this phone more difficult. There is no excuse for this as it is a key function of the device! It's shocking that this hasn't been addressed by now.

Am I missing responses or does apple not bother replying to any issues on these questions?

Hello everyone. I've been using an iPhone 16 Pro Max for 4 days. I have the same issue with the keyboard. At first, I thought it was a problem with the glass, so I replaced it with an original one. Then I thought it was the case causing the issue. I reset the keyboard, and then I reset the phone to factory settings. I'm typing sentences with hundreds of mistakes; it reacts extremely slowly, it's so frustrating! I'm already losing my patience... I had the 16 Pro Max; I used the 13 Pro Max for 3 years and could type at lightning speed. I really hope this issue gets resolved soon, because I’d rather not have to go to service, as it would cost not €300-€500, but €1500.

I’m blown away by this. The keyboard functionality is awful. I loved the smoothness of the 14 pro max. This is like 5 steps backwards. It’s truly aggravating. I hope this is a software issue that they can fix cuz this is painful.

I’m on the same boat. iPhone 16 pro max and laggy kayboard. I can’t believe this happening on an iPhone. Please fix it ASAP.

I paid £1300 for a phone with a messed up keyboard that Apple are clearly choosing to brush under the table. I think it’s time we made a claim?

I’m glad, I came across this blog. This whole time I thought it was the screen protector. This issue is annoying, I literally have to grab my iPhone 16 pro max with both hands and stab the letters on the keyboard with my thumbs to register. Can’t type with one hand anymore or else the other person waiting for for my reply would think I don’t know how to write because it would take a long time to type something because of all these unregistered letters that keep making me deleting and retyping several words in a sentence.

ALSO I HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO RELOCATE THE POINTER, IT ALWAYS MISSES,,,
