I've actually had better luck with their refurbished units. The replacements I've always got are usually ending up being better than the device I'm replacing. I'm thinking it's due to a second QC moment when they replace parts on it to ensure its up to standard.
Got a tip for us?

Updated to beta 4. No lag like I'd thought I would have after OS update. Device didn't even get as hot as last time when updating.
It's seeming to be faster, the keyboard us positioned slightly higher (I'm using Swype), and that's all I've noticed so far.

that's a paid version, right? Swiftkey is just horrible. it made even the more horrible native keyboard the preferable choice. if only it just had a swiping feature. does Swype allow you to move the cursor around like the native keyboard does?
I only had one lockup today. I tried to unlock with the home button and nothing happened. Then I hit the wake button and nothing happened. Then suddenly the screen popped on and took a screen shot.
This, or something very similar, happens to mine somewhat frequently. It is perfect otherwise. So I don't want to exchange it...yet.
WTF, did you clean install? anyways i have a new device replaced by Apple today, and have no issues, so seems like it could be hardware.
Yes, I have done everything possible before I contacted Apple. I'm glad you got yours replaced, I haven't received not even a single email from Apple confirming my replacement. Like I previously said, not happy with their slow service.
Believe me it wasn't easy getting a replacement, at first they thought it was because i was running beta 3, and then i had to keep unlocking the phone and showing all the crash logs and eventually it was replace under 14 days as i was just like take it back and i will buy another, haven't got any stuff on this new model so it could be that what is making it not do the same (hope not) but i will be able to test all day tomorrow at work.
My 6S 128GB does the status bar delay. Also, there's a 2-3 second delay from the time the phone starts ringing to the time the screen wakes. I've been testing it with Apple Support, and I am almost certain the status bar delay is tied to your phone being idle for a certain period of time. If I continually lock and unlock, it doesn't do it. If I let it sit for a few minutes then unlock it, it does it almost every time.
Also wanted to add this is on a completely bare bones phone. I just clicked through all the setup menus, didn't turn on Siri, iCloud, or anything. Also reset all settings and content twice. Still does it. This is iOS 9.0.2.

Got a new 128gb 6S Plus after returning the previous one that was suffering from this.
New out of the box phone has the same problem, delay on unlock after sitting idle. Haven't even set anything up yet!
Must be software...
yeah so kinda pointless of us to exchange for another unit. lets wait for the update
Well I have similar issues on this replacement so yeah seems like software to me, but even beta 4 has it, so it's a bit ****.
Yep clean install and still the same lag. As previously mentioned, it seems like the phone takes long to show the status bar as the phone is in an idle state and needs to power the processor.
I have both 64 and 128 6S+ and the 64 doesn't have that 2 second delay the 128 does can anybody else confirm this? Haven't read all the pages to see what model or memory phone it happens to. Don't really think it's a deal breaker but it is interesting.
I'm on 9.1 beta 4, but it still did the status bar lag under 9.0.2, 9.1 beta 3 and 9.1 beta 4. Annoying to say the least.
can only hope the final release of 9.1 resolves the issue, or an interim 9.0.3 fixes it
I'm waiting for a replacement, but I will everyone know when I receive it if the replacement still does it.
Ugh, I still have hopesWell mine does
. I think there should be more people with this issue, maybe they haven't seen it or bothers them.
