iPhone 7 - Keeps Freezing!!!

Yup get the same issue too...

Not a happy bunny!

I get this issue on contacts or messages really annoying for the price I paid for 7+. Have fully restored and set up as new iPhone in case I had bad files in the backup files but still does it. Not happy...

My wife's phone has had the same issue and she uses apple contact. I will try restoring the phone this afternoon but I can see from the communities that is not an uncommon problem. (I've posted this in three threads hoping to help the community get Apple's attention on this issue.)

I've had the same problem when clicking into contacts. Everything would've frozen and I can't click on anything. Eventually I would close the program and then reopen.

After having the iPhone 7 plus for 5 weeks, it completely froze on me and I had to restore the phone for it only to happen again 3 days later. I went to the Genius Bar and the could see that the phone crashed unexpectedly at least 16 times. I questioned about the phone freezing when I click on contacts and was told it could be that I have a lot of photos on my phone (which I did).

Anyway my iPhone 7 plus was replaced, I restored from back up and now have 0 photos on my phone and my contacts still freeze. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens often enough to know that it's an issue and something is not right.

Hopefully Apple fix this issue!

Got new iPhone 7 about 2 weeks ago, freezing keyboard consistently in text messaging, but also in email and a couple of times it locked up on the password screen. Only way to recover is hard reset. My provider put the phone through a diagnostic test and said it was fine so I typed a text for them - after 5 words it locked up.

So, I just returned from my provider with #2 - within an hour it froze in mid-text. It has gotten to the point where I can make it happen just by randomly typing in text messages - seems to happen most when I do multiple backspaces.

I have the latest update with IOS 10.1.1, I have followed some other discussion instructions to disable predictive typing and spellchecking - although disabling functionality to make this thing work seems a bit ridiculous....

I'm assuming based on the number of similar posts that Apple support is monitoring this and working on a solution but I do not see any feedback from Apple on here.

Is there any solution on the horizon???

Everyone having this issue needs to be reporting it to Apple directly - not just to the Genius bar. After multiple trips to the Genius bar and multiple phone replacements, the one Genius Bar technician suggested I escalate mine to a Senior Apple Advisor. I now have discussions multiple times a week with a senior apple advisor, who is also in contact with the engineers at Apple. They're all stumped right now. I'm still in the process of restoring my apps a few at a time in an effort to isolate the problem.

The fastest way to bypass the freeze for me is to tap Sleep button. As soon as the screen goes dark, I tap the Home button.

Bring up this post, using less than a week and it hang frequently on contacts and wattsapp also!

i7 number 7.....i'll keep going to Apple and Verizon every week until this is resolved.

This is definitely an IOS issue! We've restored from iCloud (no change). We've restored from iTunes (no change). We've set up as a new iPhone (no change).

I gave up - and asked for a divorce. Google was my new bride for a day. While a lustful vixen - her attributes were horrific. You cannot delete (only archive) email/texts; cannot comport most Apple things (contacts, music, etc). It was a helluva day without the iPhone and her idiosyncrasies of freezing screens.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE APPLE, Find a Solution! 30,000 posts on this same issue cannot be a coincidence!

Happy Thanksgiving to the team of engineers who, in their haste to push out a product, pushed out a lousy i7 phone!

I spent ftom 3.00 pm to 7.00 pm on to apple phone help. At the end he said. It's not something we can help you with. I have my own business the phone keeps freezing all the time in mid message I have expended hours out of my time. The stress will kill me

Although I still lack a solution to this problem, I wanted to report that my iPhone 7 is freezing less often than it did. I am unable to explain this but I wonder if as apps the updating of apps is causing the freezing to lessen.

I am convinced that after typing this my iPhone will start freezing again often 🙂 but I hope not.

This really has made me think less of Apple. I realize this is not a universal problem but the level of posting here ought to be enough for a customer focused company to say something to its unhappy customers.

This is a good temporary work around but if I wanted to keep hard resetting my phone I would have gotten something with an Android OS.

My iphone 7 does the same. Power/home button unresponsive for around 1 min, after it stop freezing, then randomly locking/unlocking the phone or screen shot. Has happened to me 3 or 4 times. And the most irratating is phone app hanging, as it happened frequently. I have to close the app and reopen again in order to let it work properly. My 6s never has any problem. Regret now for buying 7.

I now have to hard reset my iphone 7 due to freezing several times a day. Honestly this phone has been a real hassle. Come on Apple shape up!!

I Can tell you that this started happening on my iPhone 5s when I updated to the latest iOS

I have since just purchased a new iphone 7 and the same problem still occurs, to me that seems like it is a software problem and nothing to do with the phone.
