I haven't run into this either. Jessica ----- Original Message ----- From: 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: iOS 18 Touchscreen Issues Reported by Some iPhone Users
I have not run into this. If you have a case on the phone, it is very difficult to accidently touch the camera control area as it has an open slot like where the power port is located, only longer of course. When using BE My Eyes a couple of times VO said "camera in use" which I think meant I somehow got my finger in that slot, but it didn't effect my ability to touch the screen. I'll pay close attention going forward, but this could be one of those isolated issues like with the antenna in the iPhone 4 I think it was. Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ...

I hope they fix it. Is anybody on this list encountered it? I already have enough problems with emails I didn't think I was deleting going away because VoiceOver didn't update right and follow the list of emails correctly. So, this is depressing. iOS 18 Touchscreen Issues Reported by Some iPhone Users MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors / Tim Hardwick Some users of iPhones running iOS 18 are reporting intermittent touchscreen responsiveness issues, with some devices seemingly ignoring taps and swipes. The problem appears to be affecting various models, including the new iPhone 16 series, as well as older devices dating back to the iPhone 14. <https://images.macrumors.com/t/aTehUgSmXIuYjKDatbw0rJHvUSY=/400x0/article-new/2024/09/iphone-16-screen-table.jpg?lossy> Users on Reddit have reported <https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1fmkws1/iphone_16_touch_unresponsive_issue> unresponsive areas on the screen, resulting in missed taps, ignored swipes, and difficulty scrolling or pressing buttons. This behavior is said to be particularly noticeable when interacting with the virtual keyboard, potentially leading to typing errors. 9to5Mac <https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/22/iphone-16-pro-users-experiencing-touchscreen-issues-some-taps-and-swipes-ignored/> was first to highlight the issue. However, while initially it was thought to be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro models, additional user reports indicate that the problem is more widespread and likely software-related. The root cause appears to be an overly sensitive touch rejection algorithm in iOS 18, designed to ignore accidental touches. Given that inadvertent contact with the screen edges can trigger the system to temporarily ignore all new touches, the thinner bezels on the new iPhone 16 models may have exacerbated the problem, making it easier for users to unintentionally trigger the rejection mechanism when gripping their devices. The issue seems to occur only when devices are unlocked and in use. Some users have reported particular problems around the new Camera Control button, although it's unclear if this is directly related or a separate issue. A demonstration posted on Mastodon <https://mastodon.tz.is/@khaost/113178459118083650> by user Khaos Tian shows how the problem can be intentionally triggered, providing further evidence that it is software-based. Assuming that is the case, it's likely that Apple can address the problem through a future update, but it has yet to comment on the matter.
