Not what I've experienced with either the 5 or my current 5s. Touch accuracy appears normal and there are a couple of apps that have controls very close to edges, like Podcasts, with no issue I've noticed.
Shrug.
Plus since I don't use a stylus I'm uncertain how relevant that test is in the real world…. might also be interesting to see multiple phones tested. The article says "an" iPhone etc. single samples aren't all that significant for measurement purposes….
ETA: Plus given finger touch processing is a single-point test even an accurate way to address screen input response?
Worked good so far. I call BS on their testing methods. Apple applies a lot of heuristics to the touch input to weed out false touches from what the user actually wants. Thus would make it practically impossible to do this type of automated testing because you have no way of knowing if and under what circumstances the heuristics are doing anything.
Less than 1mm is "accurate"? Where did they get this figure from? Is it a standardized published specification? Who published it? And how come the previous test drew straight lines and this one used a keyboard? How can they compare results from 2010 to now when the testing methodologies are completely different?
Completely bogus study by someone again looking to generate traffic by bashing Apple over some useless metric.
Doesn't make sense that Apple would use an inferior touchscreen after having had the best before. Is it possible that iOS7 controls the accuracy of the touchscreen based on some special intelligence built into iOS7? The iPads have some sort of special intelligent sensitivity near the bezels to avoid inadvertent touches being registered. Is this a similar thing? I guess ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE but I will reserve making any judgements until I try it myself along with seeing / hearing what other people experience.
Why are new Apple's new phones (and both models!) being tested against last year's G S3?
"analysis marks a change from 2010" -- no, not really, it's not even remotely the same test
Also: users are not reporting inaccurate touches. And this is measuring dots. Multitouch doesn't return dot accuracy by millimeters to apps; it registers fat finger presses in oval areas, and does lots of math to determine the intent of the press or swipe or tap.

I have a 5s and think I might be making typing mistakes I hadn't made before. Seems to be on the edges. Interesting and worth looking into but it hasn't been a source of frustration by any means. Of course I've been very impressed by the phone in general (fast touch response, fast page/app loading, fast fastness) so maybe I'm still in the honeymoon phase.

I agree ... this "report" doesn't pass the smell test. The first sentence in their "report" : Out of curiosity, OptoFidelity test patrol engineers wanted to see what differences in performance our untouchable robot systems could find between iPhone 5 S and iPhone C and would that difference guide consumer to pick right version.
Out of curiosity ??? Give me a break ... and they were just as "curious", I suppose, to "test"it against Galaxy S3 .... how "convenient". I sense this is more of Samsung's dirty tricks campaign. Just another paid shill working for the world's most shameful company.
Something tell me that their top manufacturer samsung had something to do with it. It's weird how the iPhone 5s works so well but when the amazing 64bit A7 iPhone with ID sensor came the screens sensitivity is bad. I blame samsung.
You are aware that samsung also make that Amazing 64bit A7?
Also AFAIK, 5s/c use same display as 5, manufactured by Sharp, Japan Display and LG display. No samsung.
On my 5s I did notice some inaccuracies when running 7.0.2 but they seemed to disappear with 7.0.3 just like the calibration and motion issues with this release. Just did the "p" and "q" test without a problem and the "now playing" button works ok too. People with the issue, what version are you using?
The nike+ app! I thought I was losing my mind when I thought that run button was unresponsive.
I saw in another thread that you were also having trouble with the Touch ID sensor. Are by chance a guitar player with callouses? Suffer from cold hands?
Maybe you should make a video showing us these problems. Otherwise we have no way to judge your credibility.

Heuristics? LOL!
From the report:
"Everybody can do this same test with a real device. For example: you can try to tap the letter P
(English keyboard) when your finger is close to the right side of the screen. In many cases smartphone
does not react to your tap because touch result is reported outside of the button (as seen on Image
6). Also letters I, O and P are not responding as well as letters E,R,T,Y and U because the touch
accuracy is not constant. This will cause extra typing errors that are not actually caused by the end
user but the smartphone. "

No problems here on my 5s dude. Are you having these issues on your 5c? Just out of curiosity.
Real reasoning!
More real reasoning!
There is a group of folks who never experience and unfailingly refute every reported problem on iPhones.
Then there is a group that jumps on the same problems and shout "gotcha".
Which group is more credible?

What's your point?

Well. Good thing I'm not a robot!
This may well be the most on point response.

I tried to duplicate the problem after reading the article... Again zero issues... Works like a charm.
I have a strong feeling this Nothing but bogus reporting.

If you have to ask ...
Why don't you make it up like you're prone to doing?
Only from an ignorant perspective
"Sorry, we weren't paid to test those devices."
