iPhone7 - Home button - Freeze

HI. There is one simple solution to this problem. It is not a software or hardware problem. Its the problem with the carrier. Just change your SIM card you are using and you ll find your iPhone working fine again.

I've seen the same thing; just on the first day possibly until I updated to iOS10.0.1 (my phone came installed with iOS10.0.0), if you haven't installed the update it's worth a try, also have you tried doing a hard reset? Press and hold "Power" and "Volume" down until you see the Apple logo.

I'd have thought the Power and Down Volume would be a "hard" switch that wouldn't be software controlled. For that not to work there would have to be a serious issue... Perhaps it's time to make a trip to the Apple Store?

I had the same problem in the morning, I think it is a software bug...

The same issue just happened to my iphone7 128g

I had the same behavior just today -- all the screen touches worked, and in fact I tapped on a notification when it showed up, then used the "back" behavior to get back where I was. However, none of the physical buttons, including the power button, do anything.

The force-reboot (hold down power + volume down) did work. I didn't actually wait long enough to see if it ever came back.

Ah!

I got the same thing happen as well but eventually it would come back working but it's annoying especially since it's a new phone.

All the buttons and hardware don't respond but touch does.

Hey,

iPhone 7 Black 256GB

I've experienced the same problem as well, my input commands would lag and then suddenly after a short time the phone would complete all the actions I took (buttons I pressed or touch screen commands I made).

Example the phone would be unresponsive if I do a double click to switch windows, if nothing happens I would try to use the back button on safari however at this point the screen is still in safari.

After awhile the phone would try to catch up to all the previous commands I issued it would initiate the double tap I did then go back to safari to go and do the back button I tried to use, and other buttons I tried to press would start to catch up as well.

Tonight the phone screen would not wake up no matter what hard buttons I pressed nothing happened even though the music was still playing in the background.

It could be a software bug in IOS 10.

Let me know if you guys found a solution to this bug.

the same issue happened now, unlocked cell phone, everything works except the physical buttons, although the responsiveness of the touch was a little slow.

I hope its an iOS 10 software issue I would hate to think that the new A10 quad core cpu is causing this lag.

From what I understand the CPU has 2 powerful cores on standby for demanding applications and heavy workloads while the 2 lesser cores are always in use for simple day to day tasks.

Could this problem be coming from when the cores are switching from the lesser to the powerful cores or vice versa?

Although when the frozen blank screen / lag happened on my iPhone 7 I was not really doing anything demanding or having games open on my iPhone it was just listening to music and having safari browser in the background.

iOS 10.0.2 just launched hopefully this new patch will address this issue.
