Q: My iPhone 6 is erratic when outside
My iPhone 6 is now 1.5 year old, updated to 9.3.5 just couple days ago. Most of the day I'm in my own office/home Wi-Fi environment and the phone works flawlessly.
Yesterday (and today as well), when outside, with my phone trying to find a Wi-Fi to connect to — it started behaving totally erratically... Yesterday (while my friend driving on the hi-way) was REALLY WEIRD, while trying to answer a text message it wouldn't let me type, the app disappeared suddenly, it launched some other apps by itself, it found some random location on Google Maps, I wasn't able to close some of my opened app (swiping up), and for a few minutes I wasn't even able to turn the phone off... It was a bit frightening, as if someone else was taking over my phone... From the little I've read about it, it's what others call, I think, "Ghost Touching"...
The only other change I made in the past few days was replacing my chipped glass screen protector with a newer model that has an Aluminum frame around it.
...Any clue?
Thanks!
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5, null
