6s Plus pauses / freezes / lag. Serious issue

Backed up my 6s plus from my 6 plus, and deff have some lag and freezing going on. For ex I'll open the phone, click on the SMS app and nothing will happen for a second or so...Honestly never saw any serious lag on my 6 plus before ios 9. After thagt download I noticed just some small hiccups and motion issues here and there.

I'm guessing this is an ios 9 issue. If it continues and Apple doesn't put out a fix soon, I'll return for a reg 6s.
 
I've noticed the same issue a little while ago, 128gb. It's super smooth otherwise, and hasn't occurred the past couple times I've unlocked the phone.

It's happening on the regular 6s too.
 
So it seems Apple waited till like 2 months before the 6s/plus release and were like "duh, y'all think we should build iOS 9 to run on these here things"

The 6s shows a lot of promise, however iOS 9 kinda puts a wedge in that new phone experience. Sure it's usable but for a phone that costed me over $1000 it's disappointing.

Has anyone else started from scratch and set up as new phone and still have the issue?

this will not help. do it and you will be disappointed. unless you had a corrupted backup it's basically the same thing. not sure why everyone always says this.

now from a cleaning standpoint setting up as new makes all the sense. you only end up adding back the apps you use

Im still tempted. It just *feels* like that could work. But it's a hassle, and it wouldn't kill me to wait a month or two to see if this gets fixed if i can ignore my iPhone/Apple OCD/Anxiety i seem to get at least once a year... usually in september actually. hmmmmmmmm.

one dude did it and brought to fixes
 
I have this issue on my 6s sometimes when I unlock it. It still restoring but I don't know what. Maybe it's indexing or doing stuff in the background. I'll see if it clears up tomorrow.

Sounds like you guys are experiencing the App Thinning/Splicing issue even though Apple supposedly disabled it.

My understanding is iCloud needs to be activated for "app slicing" to work if it was enabled, however I have iCloud turned off and I am logged out of it on my phone.

I have everything turned off from 3D Touch to Apple Music, spotlight, location...

Still having these issues everyone else in this thread is having

wait a day. indexing takes a while.

The older, less powerful iPhones never lagged and froze whilst indexing and iCloud backups were going on in the background. Turning on a new iPhone was always a 'wow this is fast and smooth' event.

The question is, does the 4.7" 6S display these issues straight out of the box?

More likely it has to do with iOS 9 than anything else.

A user in the JB forums just went back to using his iPhone 6 because his new 6s is in an unbootable state after restoring iOS 9.

Apple replaced my iPhone 6+ last Sunday for the price of a screen repair because restoring to iOS 9 caused a bootloop. The Apple genius told me that Apple is having a lot of issues with iOS 9 and restores right now.

I don't think iOS 9 was really ready yet.

Nothing Apple has released in the last year is "ready".

That's the pressure of a yearly release cycle, though.

I was having the lagging issues on my iPhone 6S also. It would lag to open messages and settings. I rebooted the phone a few times now it's fine.
