iPhone 16 Pro – iOS 27.2 Touchscreen Freezing and App Lag

After upgrading to iOS 27.1, I started experiencing intermittent touchscreen freezes that required restarting my iPhone to restore normal functionality.

The issue was most noticeable when using Apple Maps with CarPlay. I had to disconnect my iPhone from the car, make the necessary adjustments in Maps, and then reconnect it to CarPlay to get everything working properly again.

After upgrading from iOS 27.1 to iOS 27.2, the problem seems to have gotten worse. I'm now experiencing similar issues across multiple apps, with apps either freezing completely or becoming extremely slow and unresponsive. Unfortunately, restarting the phone no longer seems to resolve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with iOS 27.1 or 27.2 on an iPhone 16 Pro? If so, have you found a solution?
