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.

    Read my post again. if Apple implement a SW fix whereby pressing the home button when in the camera app force closes this application, of course it's a solution. This problem will never happen if the camera app is not in multitasking.

    Yep, that would be a great fix, but it seems for Apple it is too complicated to implement it

     

    The last help is the initial backup of Robber80's wife, which has eliminated the camera freeze on his iphone 7. Maybe by doing the procedure again, we still have hope its gonna work.

     

    Otherwise, we are left only with an option to report the bug to Apple:

    - as user: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    - as public beta tester: via the "Feedback" app that is preinstalled with every ios beta on the iphone

    - as developer: https://bugreport.apple.com/

    Hi
    I am new to this forum, just came across it while searching for my 6s camera issue.
    One thing that i want to discuss is that after I updated to IOS 10, I face this camera issue, when i open camera after some hours like 12 hours delay, it freezes on a blurred screen and sometimes it works after 5-10 seconds and other times it just stays there until I click on camera roll. I tried every thing including clean install IOS 10 without restoring backups.
    Just yesterday I downgraded back to IOS 9.3.5 and the camera issue is gone again.... I thought it had something to do with my phone but problem is with IOS 10 (10.0.1 and 10.0.2) at least for me...

    The problem is not confined to ios10 or later. It happened before that (ios 9.3). I feel the problem first surfaced on the 6S and is on the plus, the 7 and the 7 plus.
