iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

16 pro max - Keyboard has lack of responsiveness and is not targeting the tap correctly

Managed to fix mine. Just disable ‘Hold duration’ in the ‘touch accommodations’ menu. Hope it helps others

I have the same issue and it improved a little, after turning off the swipe feature of the keyboard. But not it’s still not as responsive as the iPhone 14 :(

Absolutely the same issue and I think I had enough with this new iPhone.

Soon Apple will lose their customers.

I echo everyone's comments under this thread. It's ridiculous!!! And driving me CRAZY!!! Apple needs to fix this asap

I have my iphone 16 pro max , its touch is so bad , I have to click letters again and again to type properly, the touch is so bad swiping is poor .

iPhone 16 pro max keyboard is non responsive and takes several touches for each letter. FIX THIS!!! It’s An expensive phone and doesn’t work right?

I just got my new iPhone 16 pro max and the keyboard and touch screen is soooo delayed and glitchy. This is really frustrating,how has it not been resolved in 3 months.

I'm also having the same issues for my Iphone 16 Pro Max. I thought it was because of the screen protector or something but upon knowing others are having same issues, I know now it's the phone itself.

Just got my new iPhone 16 pro max yesterday and what I have noticed is when texting the keyboard will pull up all the options for the letter as if I was still pushing on it. And I have removed my finger from keyboard. Seems to be just when texting and no other times. Has not done it once while writing this.

The keyboard is lack responsive and i think use better with google gboard to type. Also the keyboard area is too small concentrated at lower part of the phone and i feel is not egornomics to type because the phone itself is very heavy and my hand is getting painful when type for long time

Hello! I have a problem with the sensitivity of the sensor on 16 pro max. doesn't always work. especially in the area on the right. It's awkward to type. 18.0.1 did not correct the situation. Is this a problem with the update or can I return the phone to the store?

I would like my 13 pro max back please. It’s been only a few hours of me trying out my 16 pro max and I’m trying to like it but is terrible to type. Kinda hurts my hand actually lol even though it’s not funny. There’s just too many issues at hand and as a paying apple customer.. please fix this issue fast.

I am also experiencing the keyboard unresponsiveness. When I type, my keyboard randomly switches to the numbers keyboard so I start typing numbers into my words and have to painstakingly edit each word. I went to the Apple Store where I bought my iPhone 16 Pro and they tried resetting the phone from an iCloud backup instead of from my old phone. We then tried again to reset the phone with a backup from my Mac. We then tried setting the phone up from scratch instead of from a backup. We tried replacing the screen protector and we tried without the screen protector. I was then given a replacement phone and we tried setting that one up from scratch. None of the above have worked as I am still having the same keyboard issue. I haven’t had the phone for long enough to have noticed other issues but I am really frustrated by the lack of a solution to my issue.

Yes I’m having the same issues here! At first I checked all the keyboard settings, still no improvement bcs I thought maybe it’s new iPhone and there are some changes with settings and nope!

My keyboard can’t keep up with how fast I am typing, lack of responsiveness (compare to my iphone 12 pro max) and I have to double tap more often to respond in the whole screen.

And today my first time I have my iPhone 16 pro max screen showed flickering with vertical rainbow stripes flash after I sent text and wanted to type again. I know and feel that there is definitely a problem with iPhone 16 pro max. Not as I expected as like new iPhone. I’m very disappointed. ☹️
