iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

two issues with my iPhone 16 pro max IOS 18:

1) keyboard lacks of responsiveness, oftentimes I have to double click when typing or It misses letters.


2) when searching for apps or contacts and using the swipe down function if starting a word with the letter «s», the search immediately disappears and spotlight shuts down.


what to do? Do I have a faulty device or is this an OS issue?


thanks and regards!

iphone 16 pro max lack of responsiveness. So hard to create long messages. You have double click letters for it to respond.

Yes yes. Did notice that too. Sometimes i feel that when i type too fast the backspace won’t work or when i mistype something and i have to delete something the backspace doesn’t work quite well too. So disappointing from Apple. I hope they address this as this is one of the most important things for me to make work easier and more efficient for me.


the only downside for this when you use your iPhone mirroring, the keyboard won’t type properly using your laptop

I just upgraded for the iPhone 13 Pro Max with never having to look at the keyboard while typing. Now it seems like I have press very hard for my key presses to recognize the touch. While before I barely had to press to type - more like tap. Half the time the screen is not registering my touches. I’m on Verizon networking using a Zagg screen protector.


This is horrible experience and needs fixed because I can’t type quickly.

Ouch… I thought I was being weird thinking a brand new, £1500 phone was unresponsive, laggy, and not recognising taps…. This is utterly disappointing and should be fixed ASAP - can’t believe a premium product, sold and priced as such is having such a frustrating issue - the amount of fixing I need to do to every text makes me want to put this phone straight in the bin.

Yo fools. I have been having the same issue for a few months as well on iphone 13 regular edition.


It's gotten worse in the last month. I am looking at my keypad and hitting a T with pinpoint precision and it pops up a Y instead. It's doing a similar thing all over my keyboard especially with the .


I have autocorrect turned off and it is still auto correcting things.


I have numerous settings turned off and they are still working automatically.


I switched to two other keyboards one at a time. G board worked well for about 10-12 hours and then the issue came back out of nowhere.

Exactly what I’m seeing. I also had a 13 Pro Max before getting the 16 Pro Max. Typos like crazy and I know I typed correctly.

I had mine freeze in messages today and rebooted itself. I have never had that on any iPhone before. I also noticed the screen pull down from the top is a lot more difficult to pull down. I have the standard neoprene Apple brand case just like my old phone. Seriously disappointed with the upgrade so far.
