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.

    Hi flyingL123,  Dont hold your breath! Apple does NOT care about users' concerns unless we are some mass media reporters, I've deeply experienced that Apple's policy and practice deal with end users, when products are sold, business is done and over as well as liability, they just care about the some figures to flaunt to public in WWDC.

    ok I just experienced the same problem.  picked up my phone and opened the camera app.  had a picture stuck and under exposed on screen for 5-6 seconds...

    then took picture.

    then for the next 6 tries no problem at alll

    Will try to reproduce again.

    before tis test i took pictures 6 hours prior.

    but the image that was stuck wasn't the one i took earlier in the day, it was an image of what was infront of the viewfinder as the camera opened.

    Will keep ya posted

    I Have The same issue, iPhone 6s plus. I dont think Apple cares about problems like this, they never cares about service!

    You buy a product, and something is wrong - help yourself!

    Besides the obvious creepy factor of the iPhone screen showing an image from a location at which I never even opened the camera app, it seems like the issue has to be related to live photos somehow.

     

    I also have sometimnes the problem with the camera app showing an old picture or a very dimmed live picture, with very slow frame rates. I also suspect the live photo feature (which I usually have switched off) to be involved in the problem.

     

    But the scariest thing was when it showed a picture of the moment when I unplugged the lightning cable earlier that day. This means the camera is randomly (or maybe even "continuously"?) taking pictures without user interaction or consent!

    I dont think replacement if our units can solve the issues since i find these problems IOS or software problem. I have an Iphone 6s plus. 2day old. Im also experiencing the same problems. Let's hope for a better IOS 9 version.

    i am having exactly the same problem with my 6s 64gb. i called the apple care to ask about this and they told me it could get solved after the official 9.3 update which i guess is about to come in few weeks time.

     

    it is scary to see any image that never had shot when launching the camera app. i feel like my phone is recording everything all day and whenever i launch the camera app, it shows a random freeze image.

    i restored as a new phone and after 1-2 days it started again.

     

    i dont know if its related to live photo feature or anything else but i hate to see it happening. i want a camera with i can be sure of instanly capturing the moment. not waiting 2-3 seconds or seeing weird images.

    please anyone let us know how you are dealing with this issue.

    well. i really need to know what causes this matter. is it a software or hardware issue. if its 1st one 9.3 must solve this. this is not acceptable for such a smartphone. btw have you tried the all betas and seen the issue exists.
