Screen takes ages to wake after phone call

After finishing a call, it takes ages for the screen to wake so I can end the call or do anything really. There is a noticeable delay of several seconds after I lower the phone from my ear. I've never experienced this with any other iphone in the past, the screen has always been quick to wake. I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue of some kind, perhaps a light sensor is faulty?

If the screen protector doesn't have a notch, it is likely interfering with the proximity sensor. The screen protector should look like this:



If your protector doesn't have a notch like the picture above, remove it and see if the phone works as expected. Then get a protector with a notch.
