I received my 128GB Verizon 6s Plus yesterday after returning my regular 6s 64GB a few weeks back. Right out of the box the lag was present. It's ridiculous. I feel like I'm on Android. I did a complete restore and it's still there. Hangs 3-5 seconds at times right after wake (if the screen has been off for more than 5 mins). Annoying. This did not happen on the regular 6s. It was extremely snappy. I hate this. Update to 9.1 did not fix this. It's still there.
Got a tip for us?

I found an interesting thing. The lag is NON EXISTENT when the phone is charging!!!!!
Hi i have the same totaly new install and have the freezing lag at homescreen. Gets worse IF Siri is active. I installed with iTunes so not OTA. My concerns is more like is It wrong with the phone Or is the software faulty. It seems like different processors act different with the sleeping mode. But IF you have a active program up and close phone to sleeping mode IT Usual start as normal whitout lag. I have 128gb with Samsung Processor. It seems like 128gb is more Usual with this lag..
Baffling what some of you are seeing. I've handled dozens of 6S+ models and never once encountered anything like this. Is there the occasional, infrequent, extremely brief stutter? Yes, and there always has and always will be on any smartphone, but with the way some of you talk about it, I can't help but believe there's either a) something wrong with your device, or b) you are completely full of it. Baffling.
Yep, there's no delay when waking into an active app. Or when you wake the screen first with the power button then TouchID.
Same issue on 9.1. 6S 128GB.
Further observations shows that our problem have something to do with WIFI, not Touch ID. Try to wake (not unlock) the phone with power button after a while of inactivity, and You will see that it drops WiFI for a short while and reconnects. After that You can unlock (with Touch ID) with no lag. The same thing happens when You are unlocking with touch ID, the phone drops wifi for a second and reconnects - this is causing lag in my opinion. Please test it and post your results!
Where the hell are you seeing lag in that second video? I can't even begin to fathom how someone could complain about THAT. lol
did an OTA to 9.1 last night, before bed. the transitions with opening/closing folders seem a tad slower in effect, not so much in hardware speed (if that makes sense), yet feels smoother. no freezing or crashing apps, yet.
I'm not seeing any keyboard lag or glitches that I was constantly getting, before.
also, after the update, I was prompted to continue with some carrier update thingy that I clicked 'yes' to. the signal dropped and disappeared for a few seconds. I've been staying at a motel this whole week (for work) with some useless 3G service, but after the carrier update, it was night and day how much the 3G service improved. I was then able to stream videos, even.
still early. will report further as I get to use my phone more.

I haven't checked this thread in a week or so. I've noticed that the lag/pause/freeze occurs for me whe the phone starts going between wifi and LTE for no specific reason.
I go periods of time without this problem, but it's started back up again. The phone is worthless when this happening. I was hoping the update this morning was the fix for this. No? I'll get back to my phone in about 2 hours.

I'm not seeing anything in that second video that demonstrates anything other than standard behaviour ...
I guess everyone's definition of "lag" is different because I didnt see any at all.
