Real-time Report: Current Issues With iPhone 16 Pro

Apple's iPhone 16 series was officially launched last Friday (September 20). However, many users have reported that their iPhone 16 Pro has malfunctioned. In response to these problems, Phonefix has summarized the specific problems for you.

1. iPhone 16 Pro first durability test shows new ultra-thin frame has flaws.
Apple Track's Sam Kohl flew to Australia just to be the first to publish a drop test comparison of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro. The two models involved in this experiment are the new desert titanium color of the iPhone 16 Pro and the original titanium version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.


During the test, Sam noticed that the thinner frame of the iPhone 16 Pro had potential durability flaws in the drop test. When dropped from the side, the impact seems to have a more direct impact on the function of the display-even if the display itself does not shatter or crack. During further testing, Sam found that the damage to the iPhone 16 Pro was "much less overall" compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. That being said, if there is one thing learned from this test, it is that you should buy a iPhone16 Phone Case for your new iPhone 16.

2. iPhone 16 Pro macro shooting freezes
Some netizens said: Although the iPhone 16 macro works perfectly in photo mode, it only works when set to 4K 60, ProRes HDR, HD 30 and HD 60 in video mode. However, when he switched to 4K 24 or 4K 30, the macro function froze and then switched back to the main lens.

3. iPhone 16 Pro camera control key failure, screen cannot slide
According to foreign media reports, some foreign users said that the iPhone 16 Pro camera control button did not respond, which may be related to the phone's accidental touch detection system. When the user accidentally puts a finger or palm in the area, the screen will temporarily lose response.

Apparently, this problem is not limited to the area near the camera button, but may also affect all four edges of the screen. Users said they could not slide or click the screen, and only the home bar could be used normally, making the phone almost unusable. Some users found that this problem was more obvious when the phone was not in a protective case.


Khaos Tian on Mastodon posted a video showing this situation in great detail: once the iPhone 16 Pro's anti-mistouch feature is activated, the entire screen freezes and no longer responds to any touch input. This suggests that the anti-mistouch algorithm may be too sensitive.

If you also encounter this problem, the best way at the moment is to try to avoid touching the area near the camera control button to prevent the phone from temporarily losing response. Although this is not an ideal solution, it is the best way before Apple releases a software update to fix this problem. I hope Apple can launch an update to solve this problem as soon as possible.

4. iPhone 16 Pro Max telephoto lens has dust
A netizen said: He noticed that there was dust in the telephoto lens of the 16 Pro Max? He found some dust when setting up the iPhone 16 Pro Max from the first day he bought it.


To his surprise, he checked the display unit and it seemed that there was dust in the telephoto lens of all mobile phones. He didn't know if it was the flash or the coating, but it didn't affect the picture quality. He called Apple to negotiate, and they were ready to replace it, but it would take a certain amount of time. What confuses him is that the phone is functioning normally; it's just the dust that bothers him! If you look at the lens at a 30-degree angle, you can see the dust in the lens. In addition, there are users who experience blurry screens and flickering when using the device, which have also sparked widespread discussion.

Summary:
In short, the iPhone 16 Pro faced some software and touchscreen-related issues in the early days of its release. Although these issues affected the user experience, since they are believed to be caused by software, Apple is expected to fix them in future updates.
