Q: 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.

    Got back from vacation Sunday, camera was flawless all day, Monday "slow day" no glitches, Tuesday camera lag started all over again, my question is could this be carrier related, someone from Apple has to get in on this PLEASE.

    I have the same problem with my 6s 128g purchased right when they came out last September.

    I've done everything possible and the camera/app still does the same thing as everyone else here.

    Very annoying.

    hello everyone. with now ios 9.3.5 the lag hasnt disappeared unfortunately.

     

    I love this phone with every aspect of it but this lag keeps driving me crazy as i have been missing some urgent moments to shoot and capture and it has lagged when i have opened it from time to time.

     

    normally, i am not a fan of swipping phones every year, i would like to stick to 6s for as long as it works ( at least 3-4 years ) and stays in shape for technological usefulness. but i cant go on with this camera lag.

     

    i know there will be one time i need a crucial, very important second i must definetely capture and shoot with camera and this high tech, over priced phone will leave me in the lurch.

    Hi all

     

    Despite it seems unnecesary some numbers: 3 weeks hollyday with no calls, but wifi so icloud perfectly synced: 500 photos with 0 lags.

     

    Willo26, any news about this fix in ios 10?

     

    Regards.

    Dear all,

     

    All i have are bad news. I have written 3 emails to my assigned apple senior about my open case and he has not contacted me yet. I am terrible angry. I am going to put an official complain about this problem. AND I am going to sell my iPhone 6s ASAP. And when I checked that the new iPhone 7 has not this problem with the new camera, probably I will buy it.

     

    Regards everyone

    well it seems that as this lag only occurs on some of iphones throughout the world, apple doesnt pay attention to it. ios 10 wont fix it as some of you mentioned here.

    i am not impressed with iphone 7 at all, i wouldnt swap it but if apple keeps ignoring us for this matter, there will be no choice but swap it with a 7. As i have a 6s with 64GB, swaping to a 7 with 32 gb wouldnt cost me a fortune.

    but once again, i am not keen on changing my phone.

    apple just take a look what your customers say about their phones!

    coming updates after ios 10 need to fix this for sure.
