Same issue (although 6 Plus).


Turning Siri off fixed this for me.

This completely describes my experience with iOS 9.0.1 and then 9.0.2 on my iPhone 6. Sadly, 9.0.2 has been even worse. The phone performs as it's an iPhone 4 or another device with an old processor and years of use. Stuttering, music playback issues (as if it just can't handle the workload), screen response concerns, app freezes--just a pandora's box of ill performance traits.


This has been the case with both my iPhone 6 and iPad Mini Retina. Some $1500 worth of hardware rendered into ancient feeling junk. A serious disappointment and a significant failure for Apple.

Same thing happens to me, iPhone 6 on iOS 9.1 now... I have an appointment in apple store next week to get the phone revised.

I reseted to factory settings twice. Once I reinstalled backup from iTunes, another time from iCloud backup. It did not change anything. Screen suddenly irredponsive, or going crazy like self clicking evrywhere. It all started with iOS 9

My phone is still seeing the same thing and even trips to the Apple Store have not helped. They've suggested refreshing (which I did) and then starting again but that only resolved the issue for a day before the unresponsiveness came back. Now I'm on a phone that randomly opens apps, doesn't respond and overall is unusable. To make things worse, this just started happening after the first year warranty expiration and the phone has no damage. This is absurd.
