iPhone 6S freezes after unlock

Since I turned off the siri suggestion+updated to 9.0.2 it seems never happened again.. but.. will see

IPHONE FREEZING AFTER UNLOCK = INDEXING AFTER SET UP

When you set up your new phone, the phone indexing process can take a day or two, longer if you don't have constant access to WIFI.

During this time the iPhone performance will be slightly slower and freeze after unlock. If you have just bought the phone and it hasn't been long after you have set the phone up I would not worry about this. My iPhone 6s did the same thing for two days because I was constantly on the move and didn't have data access to allow the phone to index properly.

Doing a restore or getting a new phone wont solve the problem as you will then have to index your phone all over again!

I'm sorry but I find that pretty hard to believe. I have never had this problem in the past, and if this 'indexing process' has to be downloaded over WiFi, then I'm sure it's no bigger than the 4GB back up I downloaded or the films that I stream. My broadband download speed is roughly 30Mb/s which isnt the fastest out there but its not bad at all. I think it's just another **** Apple first OS release.

I agree about the performance increase after a few days. I posted earlier in the thread about freezing, but it seems to be gone now.

I am also having similar issue. What did you do to get rid of freezing??

I had a replacement phone and it's exactly the same so it must be a software issue. I was so angry about this when I first got my phone, because problems like this occur every time I have a new iPhone or upgrade to the latest OS, but I think I'm just going to wait until iOS 9.0.3 or 9.1. Hopefully that'll fix it.

I used it for a week. It went away by itself.

Count me in as well. I have a 6s 128GB silver. I am going to wait for iOS 9.1 and see if it gets worked out.

ANYONE READING THIS THREAD STILL WITH THIS PROBLEM:

I had this problem as soon as I set up my phone. It has now gone away.

Please wait a few days until all your apps have downloaded and iCloud data is downloaded (such as photos and folders).

Most people (like myself) have found that the issue went away the first few days after set-up, especially if you have a lot of iCloud files syncing and app data downloading.

Make sure you are connected to a good WIFI connection to allow the phone to complete its setup.

RESTORING THE PHONE WONT HELP. If you have a lot of data, your iPhone will be indexing the data and this process needs to complete. During this time the phone will be slightly slower.

Same exact problem here! The phone is so smooth but every 3-5th time I unlock it just freezes for a few seconds. It's surely a software problem.

Yea, I think it must be. This is my second iPhone 6S and, it is exactly the same as the first, it freezes momentarily after unlocking using Touch ID. Just hope it gets sorted soon. It's really frustrating, after paying £700 for a phone, and having to put up with this standard Apple crap yet again.

Jimbo1221 and Thomas,

You clearly haven't read this thread and don't understand the issue.

Don't bother posting if you aren't fully informed with the facts.

Had the same issue on today bought 6S Plus 128Gb Space Grey. But solved it completely. I noticed that (at least in my case) this lagging and freezing began after I added 5 fingertips just as I had on my 5S previously. So after I deleted all but the first one, the problem is gone immediately. It's a fingertip sensor software problem I hope that will be fixed soon, I also hope my comment will help anyone here.

That's very helpful thanks. People should note this and try it

I've also had android phones in the past but switched to iPhones since the iPhone 5. I understand the issue, as I've been living with it for 2 weeks, I'm no computer scientist but I am an apple enthusiast and a general tech enthusiast. I'm just really annoyed that I've payed £700 my phone and I have to live with this until Apple push out an update to fix it. This wasn't directed at anyone personally I'm just annoyed because of the constant problems I seem to get with my iPhone's. Oh and this is a real username and I'm not a current android user. Please don't bother posting if your going to post a very original comment to a slightly negative comment.
