Apple is facing a new problem. A recent internal memo distributed to Apple Authorized Service Providers reports a disruptive phenomenon affecting some owners of the latest Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. These so-called "ghost touches" pose a potentially frustrating obstacle for users, and Apple has already taken steps to investigate the issue and find solutions.
News of potential touch issues on the latest Apple Watch models has caught the attention of many Apple enthusiasts. Demand for these cutting-edge devices remains high, and while Apple always strives to provide the best possible experience for its customers, such challenges are not uncommon.
Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2: Issues with “Ghost Touches”
The “Ghost Touches” issue affects some of the latest Apple Watch models (via MacRumors), namely the Series 9 and the Ultra 2. Customers have reported that their devices are experiencing unexpected and erratic touches on the display, which can be described as "ghost" touches. This unpredictable behavior can cause the screen to respond erratically or even perform actions without direct user interaction. Apple has responded quickly and, according to the memo, recommends that affected users keep their software up to date, as this may be part of the solution. It is suspected that Apple could address the issue in a future watchOS update, but at this time there is no exact timeline for a potential fix.
Tip for temporary relief
It also remains unclear whether the issue is due to faulty hardware, which is still under investigation. Technicians have been instructed not to attempt any repairs on the affected Apple Watch models while Apple actively investigates the issue. Instead, customers are asked to restart their devices as a temporary fix. Recent reports of "ghost touches" on some Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models have raised concerns and questions among users. However, Apple's response shows that the company is committed to clarifying the situation and offering a satisfactory solution. While we await further updates from Apple, we hope the company can quickly identify and resolve the issue to ensure the first-class user experience for which Apple is known. (Image: Apple)
