Q: iPhone 6 asking for my passcode after 48 hours?

Why is my iPhone 6 running iOS 9.0.2 asking for my passcode after 48 hours? And it asks this when it is only 8 or 9 hours?

For example: I goto bed and wake up in the morning (8 hours) and says I need my passcode after 48 hours?

Now the real kicker is it does this sometime and not all the time?

 

Help!

    This is a bug  ( I noticed after 9.1 update). This wouldn't have happened if Steve Jobs was still alive.

    Look, whatever folk are saying, this is a change in operation...

    I've had an iPhone 6 for a year, using the finger print reader to unlock. As I don't leave this for anywhere like 48 hours before unlocking I never saw this 48 hour lockout message until month or so... Now I see it quite often... As others have posted, the setup for this says you need to use the passcode if not unlocked for more than 48 hours - it's not specified if this is unlock by password or fingerprint reader. I know in the last nine months I NEVER saw this, now I do, so something has changed. To me it sounds like a bug... and from what I can see not connected to unlocking by passcode or fingerpimt reader. And yes, I know you need to use the passcode also if the device is restarted or you enter the Touch ID and Passcode setup.

     

    Oh, and by the way - I now see this issue on my 9 month old iPad Air 2 - and now it's iPad Pro replacement  - the only common item, all running the same recent iOS s/w.

     

    Why can't Apple just comment...
