6s Plus pauses / freezes / lag. Serious issue

I did, that's why I'm getting a replacement. The "genius" didn't know what the status bar was, lol.
That app doesn't show me any info about the chip. Maybe you meant some other app.
No, I meant that app. It works. You won't see 'Samsung' or 'TSMC', it will give one of the two codes I gave you.

Works for me on two phones, giving the chip code for both. Are you looking in the right part of the app?
The cpu info page gives nothing but usage and clock speed. The other entries are blank.
I wonder if Apple have removed functionality from new downloads of the app due to this 'chip furore'?
Just browsed through this thread today, and kind of relieved that I am not the only one experiences where the phone will lag, freeze, randomly start, lock up, etc., whatever else it may do. Currently I am using a 6s plus, 64GB, silver and I am experiencing a majority of these issues over the past week--and the worst part is now my iPad Air 2 is experiencing the same issues. It has to be software issue that is causing it to do this.
I haven't been able to fully go through the thread to see if there have been any fixes (other than attempts at a hard reset or a restore from recovery mad), but has there been any success stories of anyone being able to fix this themselves? I have an appointment with the genius bar on Friday (earliest one I could get in Manhattan) and I on't know if i can last another couple of days with having to constantly reset my phone in order for it to work.

Mine actually shows the code N66mAP
It's an iPhone 6S Plus.
I've experienced zero lag or any other issues, but thought I'd check on this thread!
Interesting according the poster that proved the information it would appear that yours is a Samsung and mine is a TSMC. If that information is accurate!
My question now is why is his showing up on two phones as a 71 and ours as 66?
If so that would indicate that the maker of the chip is irrelevant. Since I think it's a software issue it would make sense.
Just checked my regular 6 gold 64gb bought last year from AT&T and it does the same 1-2 second delay with 9.0.2. Bought the 6S Plus 128gb for AT&T from Apple last week and still it does the 1-2 second delay with 9.0.2. So guess has to be a software issue or its suppose to be this way with all phones. But interestingly it doesn't do it when Touch ID is off. Hmmmm
I don't think I'll be sweating it. Guess it's normal.

My 6s has occasionally frozen, did a restore from iTunes as new phone last week it didn't seem to help. I wasn't going to panic until today, when I went to wake my phone and it didn't respond. I tried pressing the home button and power for a hard reset and still nothing. I set it down and then pressed the power button by itself, but nothing finally I pressed the power button again and it was over a minute before anything happens. Called Apple and she didn't help. She told me to make an appointment and they would probably just replace it or they could just send me a replacement. If it is software, why would they suggest a replacement?
Try connecting the phone to AC power and power the phone off and on at least a few times.
If the startup goes well, do a clean restore on the phone and monitor.
Of coz if you feel uneasy, better to get it swopped out.
We're pinpointing it to software as most of use encounter the 1-2 sec unlock lag only. Yours is a different issue.
UPDATE:
After all night not touching my phone when I turned it on there was a lag again, however it was not the same as it was on my previous phone. It was less than a second long, not 1-2 seconds. Siri suggestion is off. I'm gonna try to turn on this feature and see whats happening. On my wife's 6S+ I never ever could reproduce the delay, and all features is on on her device....

i have the unlock lag too and yup the delay was like 0.5-1 sec. All we know is something glitchy us going on.
Siri suggestions was off all along for me.
