iPhone 6S freezes after unlock

Hi all,


I received my iPhone 6S 128GB silver today and I have a problem with it:


When unlocking via fingerprint (which is very fast!!!) the home screen freezes.

So, it unlocks normally, the home screen with all apps shows up but then freezes.

It happens every 2nd or 3rd time I unlock my phone and when the standard home screen shows up.


It freezes for 5-6 second and no matter what I do, the phone doesn't show any reaction - even pushing the home button or the on-off-button.

I restarted the phone several times, "normal" and also restart with "home- & on/off-button"...


Is anyone of you having same issues?


cheers

My new iPhone 6S Plus 128 GB have the same problem, less than the other one. I delete all fingerprints and looks like the problem go away.

I think that the problem is still there, but the time to unlock with passcode is enough to problem doesn't show up.

Other thing, when my iPhone has been with iOS 9.0.2 the problem wasn't showing up.

How this is the second iPhone 6S Plus, I believe that is a problem with iOS 9.1.

So it isnt just me. i had updated from ios 8.4 to 9.1 and started having this problem too. i shouldnt have upgraded. i had the iphone 5 and it worked perfect on ious 8.4. i held off on upgrading because usually new ios's for older phones never seem to be as good. but i decided to anyway and notice this problem right off the bat. thought it was just vecause i had an iphone 5, but you uys are having this problem with the 6 which has the faster processor, so what gives? i shoulda just stayed on ios 8.4. why did i not listen to myself.

I had the same problem on a brand new iPhone 6s. After a reset and a set up as "new iPhone" (without restoring anything) the problem seems to be disappeared. It looks like a software issues. Probably, some files or settings are corrupted (in my case, this happened after that some apps updated and it seems to have been fixed after a complete reset as I never installed these apps again). I've been to an Apple store and they confirmed me that it is just a problem related to third-part apps.
