6s Plus pauses / freezes / lag. Serious issue

What apps are attempting to launch as you unlock? Is it third-party stuff or Apple ones?
Just had an iPad at the office do this yesterday. ITunes wouldn't even see it until we put it in recovery mode.
I have Siri on and no lag at all. But who's to say it might behave differently for someone else.
I had the same problem with lag. Did a clean install this morning and lag is no longer present.
Here's a link to the poll I made yesterday, before my lag completely disappeared around dinner time on its own. I think the results suggest that restore from backup vs. Setup as new doesn't really make a difference with regards to this issue.

Yep, I've had this happen a couple of times. Otherwise getting some lag and pauses, not as many as my 6+ on ios9 but definitely more than I'm used to with iOS. Sometimes my iPhone feels like a Samsung on Touchwiz, that's bad.
I may do that. I restored from back up and have a slight lag every now and then.
My Instagram keeps force closing when I try to search for something. Anyone else having this problem?
I set phone up as new and it still happens. New set up does nothing. No back up here only thing I did was log into my iCloud and it kept my contacts. Otherwise nothing carried over. No apps. All installed new.
I'm not attempting to launch any particular app, just swipe between different home pages or tap on any app icon. The screen is unresponsive for a brief period. And it's intermittent.
Never mind. The lag seems to be back. When I unlock, it takes 2-5 seconds for me to be able to do stuff.
I have noticed some lag on my 6s, wondering if it has something to do with the CPU lowering the clock speed to preserve power. The A9 appears to have a much higher clock rate than the A7/A8. Or maybe they are turning 1 core off completely and stuttering when turning that core back on, I know the Nexus 6 had that issue initially.
I'm having the exact same problem, and I have a theory on why it's happening.
Apple has always been aggressive in shutting down unnecessary hardware and software services when our phones are in screen off/sleep mode. Because the new Touch ID is so fast, the phone is unlocked and at the home screen faster than these hardware and software services can all turn back on.
I think this will get fixed quickly, but I also hope Apple adds an option to have a Touch ID delay of my choosing, just for the lock screen. As of now, it's impossible to use the double click home to Apple wallet feature. Really surprised Apple has a feature that is basically impossible to use. Very un-apple like, in my experience.
Does this problem still exist if you switch Touch ID off and use a PIN code? That would somewhat prove your theory.
I think you are correct with this. Touch ID is so fast, the phone doesn't have time to "wake up" and is still groggy. After it finally wakes up, everything is grand.
