Hasn't leapfrogged the performance? The same specs? Are you high? The 6S+ is FAR superior in speed and performance to the 6+. Quit posting ridiculous, nonsensical crap.

Hasn't leapfrogged the performance? The same specs? Are you high? The 6S+ is FAR superior in speed and performance to the 6+. Quit posting ridiculous, nonsensical crap.
My 6S plus lags only when I try to use 3D Touch. Super low frame rate compared to the 6S I had before with zero lag. I turned off transparency and now 3D Touch is smooth in the 6S Plus. I hope it's bug because I don't want to disable features in a new phone. Ridiculous. I keep reading in this thread to restore all content and settings a couple of times. Anyone confirm that works?
It doesn't restore frame rates to that of the 6S, no. It has however cured the unlocking lag that I and some others have experienced. Some people claim that it doesn't for them.
No, first 6s Plus unit I've used besides those in the Apple Store, but I have watched the videos of the lag in this thread and I definitely do not witness anything like that on my device.
The frame rates are fixed by iOS 9.2. 9.2 does nothing regarding the unlock lag though. That issue seems to be with the phone coming out of a low power CPU state (not to be confused with the low power battery switch).
If it's a bug inherent in iOS9, how come everyone with a 6S/6S+ isn't affected by it?
I just restored - Once. (I picked IPSW manually, downloaded it earlier). I set up as new, without Apple ID. The phone had nothing to index or download. Checked. No lag. Next - I restored from backup. Still no lag. Fingers crossed, I will post tomorrow, if it solved the lag problem permanently.
I've had the half second delay in the clock bar appearing but no freezing. Had it out of the box and still on 9.1. Wonder if what you did might get rid of it. I'm paranoid that if I mess with it I'll get the freezing too. Keep me posted!

That's what I did. There was no lag initially. The next day there was lag, about the same time the apps started showing up in the battery settings.
It's possible every one is lagging to one degree or another. I've seen people report they don't have unlock lag, yet report the status bar disappears for a second when unlocking. That's a symptom of the problem.
Also I've found that there are circumstances where it will never happen. For example, if listening to music or podcasts with the screen locked, it will never lag when unlocking. Also when locking the screen with certain apps in the foreground it rarely lags.
Easiest way I've found to get it to happen is make sure the phone isn't doing anything and lock it on the home screen and wait about 15 seconds. Even then sometimes it doesn't lag.
I was reading a thread over on the Apple Discussion board where someone said he brought his phone into the Genius Bar to get it replaced because of the lag and since the lag happened on both the Genius Bar employees' phones (all three were 128 GB pluses) he talked to, he was told it was normal. So it's also, possible people were told it's normal and they just live with it.
Interesting. I have completely cured my lag though, so I would assume that others could cure theirs by the same (admittedly temperamental) method. I didn't have the lag at all on my first two phones. The third had it out of the box, and this third one developed it after a restore. I expect that I could have 'cured' the third one had I known.
My battery stats are already here, by now, still no lag.
No, it's not normal. If My old 5S doesn't have lag on the same software - 6s should't have it either.
Did you have the lag or just the half second dissapeering task bar at the top? How'd u cure it? Maybe I'll try.
I too am convinced this is only about the cpu going into a lower power mode when the screen is off and not ramping up right away after awaking the phone. The test using music playing in the background indeed keeps the bug from happening. It's the only thing that seems to work which definitely points towards a cpu power mode bug
I had the unlock lag and a few UI stutters.
Read back a page or two for the fix. It's not very scientific...
Clear data and setting three times. Did you also throw salt over your left shoulder. Just joking obviously

If might work first time, it might work the fourth time, but it works and I have no idea why. I now have zero lag anywhere in the system.
You've narrowed it down to those two possibilities? You seem so sure everyone else is usually b). You might b) yourself.
I think it's not much coverage because most don't notice or care. My girlfriend has it and never noticed and said ❝ ❞ oh That's what you mean.
not sure if it's been mentioned, but i was just trying this out. the harder i press, the faster. the softer i press, the slower it comes up. that video would be hard to determine just how much pressure was being applied right away. but, i can make mine come up pretty fast. maybe not as fast as without the blur, but it's just a more gradual effect/motion to begin with. i wouldn't necessary call it lag.
