I have had that problem in general with iOS 15. Sometimes a tap repeatedly won’t register in a certain portion of the screen.

Same here. Noticed it since upgrading to IOS 15. Pinch/spread to zoom out/in in safari is also sometimes infuriatingly difficult to do now too. They’ve screwed something up in the touch/gesture support.

Edit: also in case anyone from Apple is reading this, I’m also constantly accidentally switching to the tab overview screen when I attempt to scroll down, which is a new annoying gesture I never ran into before and now wish I could disable.

Edit 2: my typing is also less accurate now too. I don’t have any hard evidence here, but anecdotally I am CONSTANTLY typing “abd” now instead of “and,” which makes no sense at all, given autocorrect.

Agreed, autocomplete on iOS has been trash for me from the start but seems to have gotten even worse recently.

I have a long-standing problem with autocorrect where I go back and delete a word and type a new one, but the autocomplete suggestions are the erased word concatenated with the new one. It’s been this way for at least 3 years.

Another problems with iOS 15: some videos are entirely black while playing. I looked into this and turned off a GPU acceleration option, but that only fixed about 60% of videos.

I thought I was going crazy, I am thankful everyone is chiming in.

Same here.
