iPhone 6 screen freezes after iOS 10.3.1 update

Well..I have the same issue.After upgrading to ios11, it worked all fine until last night and started to freeze again since this morning.

I also noticed that now my iPhone has started to go into deep sleep intermittently and i have to press my home and lock button multiple times to wake it up.

But now at least I am confident and sure that its the iOS issue not the hardware issue.

Looks like rotten-Apple has read our conversation and dont want our issue to be resolved so that we can upgrade to iPhone 8.Sorry rotten-Apple , you have lost me , a loyal customer since iPhone3g.

I am going to TRASH my iPhone 6s Plus and buy Galaxy S8.

Thanks for info, glad I didn't update now even though the apple nerd had said "the engineers have told us that the update will fox the issue". Pretty sure lying to customers is illegal.. anyway.

Did anyone figure out if replacing the screen solves the issue? I don't want to go there but that is a cheeper alternative to getting a new handset. Cheers.

Apple does not only replace the screen but replace the iphone with a new one. After replaced a new iphone 6plus, the issue was gone for me.

I am not sure if you just replace the screen, whether the issue will be fixed.

Hello there, when I mentioned before that ghost typing issue was resolved after replacing the screen I was referring to the iPhone 6s Plus which had the touch IC chips removed from the back of the mainboard and placed in the screen itself. I replaced my screen a few weeks back now and have not had any issues with ghost typing or screen becoming unresponsive since then. Hope this helps. Definitively a cheaper option to buying a new phone.

I hope you have a backup in iTunes. I did a DFU reset, upgraded to the released version of iOS11. Tested the screen for hours. Then I did a restore from backup with no apps. Seems to be working after 6 hours of fail first.

I'm doing a restore now, to see if it works. I shall update.

I have a 6s and it often freezes on the native system apps too. I don't think that any of the later models are going to be immune to this. I can attest that older apps are often the culprit to stability and battery issues when new major iOS revisions are deployed. However, a new bug i noticed today was after using the official Reddit app, the system did not fade to black/screensaver and was on all night and ran the battery down for me (noticed this at 6:30 am, it was still on the Front Page- phone died 20 minutes later). The Reddit app was just updated a few days ago after the iOS11 version came out.

Freezes on the 6s that I have encountered are mostly native app related:
Email: native email client- freezes when trying to open, swipe to delete, or moving between folders- it's not a waiting on the network freeze, the whole screen and home button is unresponsive. Occurrence 20-30%

Photos: I do not open the photos folder very often, but after 11.0.3, it now takes me 1-3 tries to get it to open. Same issue when trying to add a photo within text message. Occurrence 30%

Messages: tapping the icon to launch the text messages does not always respond. Other times when it does respond, it loads a white screen with grey circles on the left (the contact initials/image). This is occurring frequently, 30%

Logging on to the device: most of the time the finger print reader activates, but other times when inputting the number code, the system freezes after the last digit. So there is a 3-5 second black/grey screen before you move to the home screen. Not a deal killer but more of the same issue.

Note: iPhone 6s, 16Gb (6Gb free space), iOS 11.0.3

Device was purchased new, not a refurbish and has never had a replacement part

I backup and restore to factory defaults after each major iOS revision, which I've found is the only way to keep the device in good running shape. I backed up/restored after iOS11, but do not usually have to do this after each patch update.

Apple guys: Something's not right with this one guys, there's a lot of unresponsive UI issues here.

As I have exactly the same problem with my iphone 6, I've now detected that this random behaviour is a bit due to temperature. As soon as I have the phone at me being warm, it is working quite properly. If it lays on the table (23 degree C) it goes weird. As soon as I am outside going into the cold, it doesn't work at all anymore. Is this something anybody else has discovered?

I have the same issue, after all this months with this DISASTROUS problem i found it happens to me right after i unlock my phone, so i have to put it with no automatic lock. Ive done EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS I NEED A SOLUTION.

Same. I got trampled by some schoolmates and dropped my pone and a small piece of glass came off and it will turn on but it won’t let me touch it bc the screens frozen and unresponsive. Do u think a screen replacement will fix this issue?!

I had the same issue with my iPhone 6. Then I took it to the Apple store and found out it was a known hardware issue with the screen and happens a lot with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Apple happily replaced my phone with a brand new one for the price of a screen which was $129. I am happy with the new phone now.

I had the same problem and more worst are not responding and also it will move around by itself. Thought the phone hacked. So scary

My iphone 6 also is randomly having lots of screen freezes after 10.3.1 also. Usually can can sleep then wake it and it works.

I have the same issue. exactly. a DFU reset did not fix it.

I did end up having to buy a new phone, but I still have the old one. I wanted to get it fixed to at least have a backup. It stays stuck on that screen everytime that I try to reinstall the software.

I just turned off the Touch ID for unlocking the phone and it solves my problem. It's like a bug in the touch ID. I dont use my touch ID to unlock my phone but I use a passcode. Hope this helps
