iphone 6s spinning wheel on black screen
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
Ok, so, more progress on this:
It's definitely related to Apple's problem with the change to December 2nd (+iOS 11.1.2 +iPhone 6/6s). Three sources enlighten the possible source of the issue:

App with local notification will crash iOS Springboard on Dec. 2 | Hacker News

I tried:
None of this worked.
While reading this I learnt it’s related to some apps and it’s notifications. And someone at Hacker News discovered HEADSPACE was causing it. So I went and removed Headspace and it worked! Incredible huh? I’ll download the app again after a meaningful update is released.
If you don’t have Headspace and it’s still happening, go and work on the notifications as the first article explained.
Hope it works for you as well.
Tried connecting to iTunes, but got the message "iTunes cannot connect the iPhone "Brian's iPhone" because an error occurred while reading from the device." So I can't connect to iTunes on my computer to restore (didn't want to restore to factory settings in case I lose everything and can't get in to get it back. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Thelvik,
Did you solved your problem?
Please advise cause i facing similar issue.
Mine has just started doing this too.
Software is up to date.
Trawling forums now, to see if there any fixes...
Same for me. And it began last night as well.
What the **** is going on?! All of us got there yesterday!
resetting all settings didn't work. still spinning.....
This is another article talking about the problem last night: https://www.imore.com/iphone-crashing-dec-2-heres-fix
Doesn't work for me. I turned mine off before this even started happening.
This worked for me right away. Only took around 30 seconds!
Hold the home and sleep button for a few seconds until the apple logo appears, then let go. This may fix it from what others are saying.
I´ve tried that several times but that didn't solve the problem.
Have you tried a full restore?
Yes I`ve tried that too.
I have an iPhone6 plus and my phone does this too. Really frustrating. It seems like an OS crash as I'm returned to the lock screen after 15 seconds or so. iOS 9 was pretty stable for me, but 10 is off to a rough start.
I had to hold them down a long time (like at least a full minute), but the Apple logo finally appeared. After what felt like forever, the pass key window opened. It worked !!!! Thank You !
