iPhone 6 problems after iOS 9 (Home Button, Screen, Lag)

Hi,

I have an iPhone 6 Plus, 64g and updated to iOS9 on release, but ever since I have a heap of issues with the phone:-

Touch Screen
Very laggy and un responsive. I have to turn phone off and then on several times a day to clear this.
Siri / Home Button / Touch ID
- Home button unresponsive. I have to press the home button several times before phone 'wakes up'
- Sometimes complete opposite then happens - press home button once and then Siri activates
- Touch ID very intermittently works, and then sometimes when it does Siri comes up.
  I have removed fingerprints from settings and tried new ones - this didn't help
Lag
Phone is very laggy - for example when I open up calculator (swiping from bottom of screen), calculator takes about 10 seconds to load

All these issues have happened since iOS9. I have completed a restore and still the problems are apparent.

Is anyone else having similar issues or anyone know of any cures?

You just described all the problems I have since the iOS 9 update. I hope apple have a stability fix soon.

Same problem here.

I think it is fixed with iOS 9.0.2

I have the same problems. I am pretty much fed up with apple IOS updates. Each update reduces the user experience of the phone.

I was referring to the problem when the iPhone is sleeping and you wake it by pressing the home button with fingerprint id turned on.

After a few days of iOS 9.0.2, the problem is mostly gone but not totally.

Has improved.

But intermittently, Siri will activate when I wake the phone when I do not want it to.

Same here, it's laggy as ****. I think it's what I hated on Android and THIS IS why I switched to ios back in the days - ios WAS fast and smooth. Going to check couple more update and sell my iphone if they don't fix it.

Just an update, I upgraded to 9.01 and still had issues.

9.02 is slightly (and only slightly) better, but still has bugs in it for the 6 Plus.

These being laggy, Touch ID / Siri and also I now have a severe lag on the screen rotation.

Can only go one way..... hopefully.

Still not enough at all, I have about 8 different ios devices at home and I can compare them - ios8 was WAAAY faster than even the latest ios9 even on older devices. "Improved performance" they say? what a joke.

Same issue with my iPhone 6 plus running iOS9, lagging during transitions and unlocking. Spot light search hangs and sometimes the overlay and transition transparencies get jumbled up. At this point. I dislike my phone 😟
