iPhone 7 - Keeps Freezing!!!

Same happens with me but so far it's happened in different apps. So far: Messages, Safari, and a gaming app I've downloaded. Would this be fixed in a future update?

Yes this is exactly the same issue I am having, I missed my apple support call last night but will be calling them today.. I'm really surprised by Apple having been an iPhone user since their first generation phones that they aren't admitting to the issues that have been widely reported not only here but also on the AV forums and many other places of the same issues!

It's a little disappointing that they can just accept it and say we are aware of some issue but please give us time to fix them, when I spoke to support they would not admit to the issues but suggested a few things to get a fix.. I will report back once I have spoke to support today!

Thank you for mentioning this! I had a frozen iPhone 7+ and the Apple chat specialist I was speaking to was having me hold down the home & wake/sleep button. 😐 Vol down and the wake/sleep button worked perfectly.

Same problem on both *brand new* iphone 7s in our house. I'm not going to the Genius bar to have some confused and pityable young person scratch their head about your crappy software and hardware glitches.

Good god, will you just fix it already? Look at this mountain of evidence ^^^^^. So many people.

Or do I need to go out and buy an iPhone 6?

Unfortunately, buying an iPhone 6 will not fix the issue. This is the simple truth guys, they added the new and improved A10 fusion chip into the iPhone 7, then they've updated to iOS 10 to support it... the trouble is they haven't fully integrated the older version to the new... but they are working hard at it. Yes my iPhone 7 has some seriously annoying issues such as FaceTime having the messaging bar in the way of my screen, apps freezing or just closing down on me etc... but if I were to use the iPhone 6 it will have just as many problems because it's ultimately the iOS version that's the issue, not the device. There are always going to be bugs and glitches to fix in the code and it does takes a lot of time to 'read' thousands if not millions of lines of code... let alone fixing it.

This will probably always happen when new tech is brought into play.

Please also remember that the internet all I've Australia will also be causing some issues with apps freezing (if they need the internet net to run) as NBN is working hard at replacing the copper cables with the fibre optic... there are internet outages all over the country and will continue to be until next year due to the conversion. This is not your phones fault nor is it apple's. I know this because I work as a provisioning tech in a telecommunications provider/carrier.

Peace!

iphone 7 what a load of s***t it's been constantly freezing nearly every time I try to make a call, normally I would double click the home button and close all open apps and this would clear the problem, recently upgraded to the latest issue hoping this would resolve the issue but no it's made it worse, I've had to hard reset the phone holding the volume down and home button because it froze again it's been shutting down now for over half an hour and still counting.

Apple sort this out because I'm genuinely thinking about getting my money back.

My 7 plus freezes in calendar, messaging, facebook and mail to name but a few. It's time Apple sorted iit with an update!

My God, my iPhone7+ still freezing , before it happens , this iPhone already freezed 4th times

unfortunatelly i bought less than 24 hour!!!!!!

i did three times push all three buttons , but still the apple logo still there 😟

plz help me APPLE !!!

Add another one to the list. At least one annoying freeze or glitch per day. I expected the same level of stability as previous iPhones but this is really bad. If this is the future of apple, then the Samsung alternatives are looking a lot more palatable.

Had mine a few months now. Still freezes every time contacts or camera/what's app is opened. Today had to hard reboot as was not responding at all. Had iPhone since the 3 and starting to lose my patience now. If it's not battery issues it's stupid glitches like this and no explanation as to why!!!

Just upgraded to 10.2. I haven't had a freeze issue for the past 3 days. Fingers crossed.

This is great to have happen on Christmas Day 🙂 ! Im really glad I got zero pictures of my family on Christmas because my phone was frozen for almost 3 hours 😁 ....

Holding down THREE buttons - the home, sleep, and volume down button - finally reset my phone - HALLELUJAH! Though I am sure this will be happening again in the near future...

I have had the phone for about a week and this issue just happened today - twice. Seemed to happen when accessing the Camera app from the lock screen both times. Screen was frozen and black. When I uheld the home button, Siri would vocalize, but nothing else was responsive and I couldn't even reset the phone until I saw on this thread that holding the THREE buttons down (versus just the TWO buttons that I knew as the method to perform a hard reset).

Needless to say, Apple, figure this garbage out

I thought the 10.2 update has fixed the issue...for a couple of days yes I was happy that the "FREEZE" issue didnt show up, after that the same.. the phone is getting frozen at least 3 times a day and it needs a hard reboot to take back to the normal working condition.. I tried factory reset for a couple of time; still no hope...

Apple support team has asked to give the phone to repair... I think thats the only option left.

Since the last update Apple provided, I must admit that I've not had any issues at the moment.

I'll keep you posted how it goes

I'm having the same problem ...did you get any solution?
