Iphone 6S unresponsive right after unlock

Hi everyone,


just got my Iphone 6S and restored a backup from my old 5S on it.

After using it today, one thing puzzles me: After being in standby for a while the phone becomes nearly unresponsive just after unlocking.

Meaning: Clicking directly on an app symbol when the home screen appears causes the phone to freeze for about 2-3 seconds. After that it behaves absolutely normal.

This doesn't happen if the phone was locked for just a few seconds. It needs to be in standby for...let's say...a minute or two.


Anyone else noticed anything like that?

I have the exact same problem. iPhone 6s+ 128GB AT&T. Fresh install (not from backup). Unresponsive for a few seconds, then it functions normally. On one occasion my 2 pages of apps would alternate (or freeze) while scrolling. In other words I could scroll to the right continuously and switch between my 2 pages of apps. The same thing would happen if I scroll to the left. That has only happened once so far.

Having same issues -- iPhone 6S, 128GB, AT&T. This thread has some other reports. I had this occurring with a fresh-from-the-box setup on 9.0.0, so I don't think that restoring from a backup can be to blame (though it still occurred for me after restoring from a backup).


I'm going to try a factory restore once more and see if that makes a difference. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but my hopes are rather low at the moment.

I started the factory reset immediately after hitting "reply" before -- that said, I left it locked for 30 minutes post-reset, and everything was perfectly responsive after unlocking! 😕


After restoring from backup and copying over all of my apps/music, everything still seems ... fine. I'm not complaining, but I'd also love to have a better explanation than "magic" as for the cause and resolution of this issue.
