iphone 6s camera lag

I’m experiencing an issue with my iPhone 6s where the camera app is sometimes very laggy when starting up. Most of the time things are fine – I open the camera app and instantly see images from the rear camera. However, on occasion I will get either the last photo taken showing or (more often) see really slow updates (like a frame a second) from the camera for 5-6 seconds before it becomes usable. I haven’t seen anything online about others experiencing this issue, so it would be good to know if this is an isolated hardware issue or something others are seeing (and likely to be fixed by a future software update). FWIW I have done a complete restore on the phone via iTunes without the issue being solved.

Come on ! give me a break, This is the Apple's problem, not users, no way to find technical solution by ourselves,

In addition, all iphone 6S even out of box without any data and apps has this bug happen. you will find out when opening the camera with a few seconds lag right after you finish a few-minutes phone call. it will happen most of the time.

I dont think replacement can solve the problem cos it is due to the iOS issue as it seems to be, the official iOS9.3 still have such bug, I ve just upgraded the ios last night and check, the bug has a bit change but still exist: such bug will happen after a long time in standby mode, no more happen right after the phone calls made, Apple so sucksss.


Apple, you are able to launch your new products on schedule every year to make money, but unable to keep the basic functions work well. really hope Apple will fall from grace in the market immediately.


All of so-called products like ipad pro, apple pencil, iphone SE...are full of craps, all against Steve's original concept.

Hello Apple,


After install IOS 9.3 nothing changed about the camera lag.

it is strange, I dont have this problem with my old IPhone 5 and no problem too with a IPhone 5s.

I have access to 3 IPhone 6s and all of them when these had few minutes in stand by and first action you do it is open the camera app, normally takes some seconds to open it.... Why ????..... I am going to link a video how I start camera app and you see a dark screen or frozen image never taken, I push home button, then open camera + (or whichever related to open the camera) and you can take a picture or a video normally, push home button again, open camera app and still doesn't work.


Please don't tell me about restored it cause Genius Bar did it twice for me and my Iphone passed the diagnostic test properly three times and how I tell this problem it is not only with my iPhone 6s.


PLEASE DEAR APPLE USERS WRITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TO APPLE DO SOMETHING LIKE THE IOS 9.3 safari bug.


IPhone 6s 128Gb (85 free space)

IOS 9.3
