iPhone 6S plus randomly rebooting at different times. Anyone experiencing this issue? I updated to 9.0.1.

This is not normal. Back up everything (both iCloud and iTunes). Wipe and reset, set up as a new device, and use it for a couple days to see if it still reboots. If it does, contact Apple for a replacement. If it doesn't, your backup is to blame.

I actually did set it up as new :(
Did a quick reboot let see what happens.

If you really want to be sure, wipe it one more time, and set it up as new again, but install only the essential apps that you must have.

If it still reboots by itself, then you have to take a trip to Apple Store, or call Apple Support. Explain to them what you did, and they should swap it out right away (providing that they have stock). If you are within the return period, I suggest refund and re-buy.

I got this phone thru Verizon device payment wonder if I can return it without being charged any fees.

Then you are better off just exchanging it with Apple. They *should* be able to swap the phone without messing up your Verizon record. Ask Apple to confirm.

Will do thanks. Also got a $40 zagg glass on it :( looks like that will go to a waste if exchange the phone. But will see so far after the reboot I've been playing around with it no issues so far. Will give it 2-3 more days to see if it continues again
