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

I'm having the same issue with replacement 6s 64Gb space grey which I got on Sunday to replace one with a cracked screen. So it's been 4 days with WiFi, so it's not an indexing issue.


Have so far tried:

- upgraded to 9.1

- turned off Siri help in spotlight (thanks for that tip on this post)

- turned off all touch ID for now and deleted all fingerprints (I just came from an iPhone 4, so I'm used to entering that code in!)

- turned off LTE under cellular so that it doesn't support voice or data (that helped with another issue where the phone went black on a call and I couldn't get it back. Also strange pulses when trying to type in text messages)

- Handoff off

- Background app refresh off

- Lock and home screen set to a still photo


Still freezing. I find that if I use the side button to power off and on quickly, it get it going again (I set auto-lock to 1 minute to make that easier). But it can still freeze again. When frozen, the home button works, but the screen is unresponsive. The cursor still blinks if I'm in the middle of a message.


Anyone noticing that space grey seems to be more common than rose gold or other colors on this thread?
