I had my iPhone 6 plus replaced today due to constant crashes (randomly) and not being able to answer the phone at times. Also it would crash in safari sometimes and freezes up randomly. So I guess I'll see if this new replacement will behave any better. Of course Apple said that it was most likely a software issue, but after talking to three senior advisors at Apple after my third restore, they opted to have the phone swapped out. So I went to my local Apple Store and had it replaced. I'm flat that ordeal of restoring and testing is over!

it is a memory issue.


your safari crashing is exactly that. the phone needs 2gb of ram.


this is not software, because everyone wiht a 6+ i know has the same issues. I just clear out active apps and my chrome/safari stops crashing until im running too many apps again
 
I never close apps and I never restart my phone. I have about 50 running in the background right now. No problems.

ok

i have 200 apps running in my background and 50 tabs open.


let me go return my phone real quick.



please......

some of you are downright shameless.
 
I've had a Plus since the first week and have had 50+ apps running without Safari crashing.
 
Is it a 128gb 6+? Apple used a different chip or something only on that 1 6+ 128gb that does not run as smoothly and has springboard crashes. Supposedly from what I read they'll be able to fix with a update at some point. I read that this morning on bgr so who knows if any of its true...
 
Too bad it happened with you. There will always be some phones that have issues. Even a six sigma process has some defects.

Glad that it worked out for you in the end.
 
load up a lot of your apps and then start browsing chrome or safari.


it

will

crash.

No, it doesnt crash, sometimes the page reloads when I have a bunch of appa in the background when I leave the page but thats about it, it reloads pretty fam fast, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have the fastest browsing speed with the fastest cache , websites reload extremely fast, but If i am in safari and stay in safari that never happens
