iPhone 16 Pro Max keyboard issues

Same! My iPhone 13 would randomly insert capital letters so that was annoying but the 16 curser skips around like a touch pad on a PC laptop in certain places. It leaves out words altogether.

So glad to see it isn’t me or my case! How absolutely ridiculous to pay what we pay for these phones and have such a ridiculous defect. Surely apple could resolve this a little more promptly

Have an update been added? I can barely text on here!! 😡😡😡 Just got the phone today!

Done, submitted under performance

while I am relieved the issue isn’t isolated to me, considering I thought it was my screen protector causing the issue, I hope there is a fix soon!

Glad it made some improvement but I agree spacebar and backspace still feels choppy to me too, hope and waiting apple to identify the root cause and fix asap 🤞

One thing you might try is to enable extended predictions under dwell control and set it to 0.25 ms this has helped me a bit. Though there isn’t a direct relation for this settings to typing experience and I’m not sure could be bug but I have been trying things while waiting for the fix and found out this has improved the spacebar and backspace tabs feel less choppy , hope this helps.

At first I was skeptical but I just tried your recommendation and it worked. Now I can type very fast. Thank you for sharing. But still I’m having issue my screen showed flickering with vertical rainbow stripes in a second after I sent text and wanted to type again.

I'm starting to resent my brand new pro max cause I can't type! when the **** is a software fix going to come out?

I’m having the same issue. In addition auto correct doesn’t work well. It doesn’t correct the simplest of words. The screen lag time is awful. I’m hoping they’ll have a fix soon!!! I’m super frustrated.

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.
