iPhone 6 freezing after iOS 9 update

Hi,


i am experiencing something extremely weird. after updating my wife's iPhone 6 the phone would work for a bit but then stop responding completely and freeze. surprisingly my IPhone 6 is working perfectly after the update and both the phones are identical and we use the same Apple ID on both for apps etc. immediate help is needed. The phone works for a bit after restarting and freezes after a while and stops responding. it has become extremely frustrating.

iPhone 6, iOS 9, 64GB

You're not alone. I've been experiencing this problem for the last few days. I can't even use my phone for telephone calls or to even check the time. I have the same phone as you, iPhone 6, 64 GB with the iOS 9 update. I've tried all the different forum recommendations: Restarting phone, using the Reset settings, and restoring my phone completely. Nothing has helped. My phone is currently an expensive paperweight as I cannot do anything on it. I feel like it may be the iOS 9 update that is causing us problems but I don't know how to revert my update to the last one.

After "updating" to 9.0.1 my phone is no better off and have shut down everything that wjdcr describes above. The phone still freezes, though not as much. I'm really disappointed with Apple at the moment.


Anyone reading this who haven't "updated" to iOS 9, a word of advice: DON'T. Just don't.


Fix this **** Apple. I've about had enough.

Hello, same thing happened to me.I updated to the new iOS and my phone has been freezing on and off and just randomly restarts.. mostly at night until last night... the screen went black as I was listening to music and the phone has not been able to do ANYTHING since!! Does not register when I try to force restart, does not register when I plug it in to charge, does not register when I plug it in to iTunes. It is completely FRIED! Im about to take it to the apple store and raise havoc! This is ridiculous!!!!!

Yikes! I hope it doesn't come to that. I agree with the "stop marketing me" sentiment but rely on iCloud backups. I'm not at one desk or even one location for hours so without auto backups my life would be spent constantly manually backing up. Thanks for the suggestions though. Until Apple gets this fixed it's better than what I had which was a pretty expensive brick.
