Yes! I have the 15 Pro, and without a screen protector it’s fine. But if I put one on, it lags and misses key strokes. Tried 3 different brands, and all do the same 😩
I have the Spigen EZ Fit glass screen protector and it's brilliant, no issues with at all and it's so perfect I forget there's a protector on.
I think you've got a hardware issue.

Updated. And still not fixed. And Apple will not acknowledge it’s an issue, and can’t seem to “replicate” it. 😩
I also updated to 17.0.3 and still missing some taps when typing at a brisk pace and its driving me bonkers. Have a genius appointment but no idea if its going to help seeing as it is so hard to replicate unless you spend time on the device typing often.
Are we confident this is a software issue that should be fixed by 17.1 or still thinking it is a hardware issue with some units?
Thanks!

Yep. I went in to Apple too, and that’s when the said it wasn’t an issue, and sent me on my way. I want to return my phone, but Verizon will charge a $50 restock fee, and I’d be out the $35 upgrade fee. Plus when I got a replacement, id be charged another $35 activation fee. Not to mention the almost everywhere is out of stock of iPhones. So I’m forced to suck it up and hope they eventually can/will fix the issue, or trade for an android device before my 30 day return window is up. 🫣🫣
Really? Wow. Were you able to replicate it for them and show the issue? It sounds like some Apple support people are saying it is indeed a real issue and some are saying its not. There has got to be a way to get some clarification on this.
They told me if it bothered me, to not have screen protector. That was the best they gave me. 🤣🤣
I never upgraded my 13 Pro to iOS 17 but I had a screen protector on it and it was perfectly fine.
Maybe it’s the new 15 Pro having slightly less bezel so a protector makes it go bonkers? But I do notice it’s less sensitive even without one though. Typing is a chore sometimes.

I’m starting to hate my 15 Pro. Even without a screen protector, typing just isn’t as accurate and is kinda laggy.
I have the same problem. But I am assuming it's due to IOS 17. There is a lot of similar people claiming the same issue.
Just installed a Torass Diamond Shield on my 15 PM this morning and haven't had any touch issues.
I have been testing with combinations of protectors and cases and as weird as it sounds, the case is what has been causing most of my touch sensitivity issues. I took it out of the case, left the protector on and its 10000% better for touch. I wonder if the edge of the case was interfering with the screen somehow.
Anyone else want to try it out and see?

Interesting…. What case have you been using? My wife and I both have the issue and we both use Apple cases.
I am, big time. The screen protectors work fine by themselves but adding the case, the screen starts messing up. Halfway through a game it will start doing very strange things. I have 2 out of 4 cases that won't mess up. I believe the extra real estate of the 15 is causing cases that have a lip around the edge to press on the screen.
Yes same here no issues with TORRAS screen protector which goes all the way to the edges and Spillane Ultra hybrid cleat case
Regardless of how fast you type, you can easily reproduce this issue by tapping the spacebar very lightly with the tip of your thumb. I can tap a lot and very clearly feel that I'm touching the display, but the input is not registered.
I tried this with different protectors from Amazon (LK and JETech). When I do the same without any protector, it registers very reliably. On my old OnePlus phone, it even registers about a quarter millimeter before I even touch the display.
I'm on iOS 17.1.
