Iphone 6plus freezing after new update

Unfortunately, no fix ever found. As mentioned, numerous attempts made. Much time wasted.

On 7/21/2016, I paid off the amount owed on the (sad) 6 plus. Traded it in for a 6S plus. So far the 6S plus hasn't froze. My service is ATT, if you are curious

Suggestion: If you can hang-on (to the frustrating 6 plus), I couldn't hang on, wait for the release of the iPhone 7. At this time you can be rid of the 6 plus -- get the 6S plus at a lower cost.

I have been experiencing the same issue now for a few days. It has become increasingly worse where freeze-ups would last longer and longer. This morning, it was completely unresponsive. As I was searching for a solution on my home PC, it occurred to me that the screen was working intermittently, seemingly indicating a short of some sort, not necessarily a software bug. So with the Pelican protective case STILL ON my phone, I gently tapped it on a hard surface a couple of time, attempting to re-seed the screen connection. It worked and my phone is working again. Not sure if this is a terribly scientific way of going about this fix, but it seems to have worked. I don't encourage anyone banging on their phone. But a gentle tap seemed to do the trick. I will re-post if the problem returns. But so far, so good.

Are you getting the update over the air to the phone or from iTunes? If over the air, do a clean install, by connecting the phone to the computer through iTunes, and restore to factory, and try to avoid installing any backups from iCloud. Should fix things.

Great info - thanks. Unfortunately I already traded-in the 6+. Didn't try the 'tap' method. Is the tap-fix still working (freezing ceased)?

I have the 6plus @ 128GB and update after update, I've never had any problems... Best of luck

I've been having the iPhone freezing issues for several updates. I had other issues with apple and needed to get a brand new phone a few months ago, so this issue persists (I'm on 9.3.4 version). The core phone functions like the phone and contracts will both freeze with use and I continue to do hard resets all the way up to a factory reset. I'm sorry I don't have a better resolution. Unfortunately my confidence in Apple phone products is waining and I'll be considering switching platforms within the next year.

I have restored to factory settings but still having the freezing problem. I have an appointment with the Genius bar tonight and hopefully they will resolve the issue.

I did ther factory reset and took my last update from itunes. Still freezing 😟 intermittently.

my Iphone 6plus is doing this too 😟 it has all the pictures of my son (only 15 months old) on and other half that i cant lose but i think im about to as i cant keep getting stressed at this phone like this, keeps on like completely freezing i cant even unlock it -.-

Apple know out this

gGoogle Apple touch disease

Hi there.... My iPhone 6plus 64 has the same issue. The screen freezes up 2 or 3 times per day. I have to hard reboot to be able to use it. Ive tried a factory reset, nothing seems to work.

Any other suggestions?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 6 plus too. my problem just started yesterday. it will free in the middle while I'm on an app, sometimes jut swiping through the apps and it would lock up. either reset or give it a few minutes and it will work again. I noticed that the latest update was in the middle of a download. it was paused, maybe when i got out of wifi, 4g held it off. I let the update finished and my phone is still freezing. every minute to two or 5 minutes. can't even make a call. also, i noticed that before my phone freezes, the top of the screen has a few lines flashing off and on.

need a fix ASAP!!

If your phone freezes next time and you are unable to unlock it or tap on any option then you should reboot your phone by long press lock key and the home key so it will reboot and you will be able to use your phone again!

Not exactly sure why you are responding to me in this thread, as I was not experiencing problems, only providing possible troubleshooting solutions.

I am having this problem
