I recently updated to 9.0.2 on my iPhone 6s, and upon doing so, when I reached the black screen with the Apple logo and a white loading bar I noticed that there was a flash of a white line across the screen. This concerned me but I decided to ignore it and let the update continue. When it was done, the iPhone opened up with a "Hello" and a white background, like when you first set up your phone. It then asked me for my iCloud info and Wallet information, also with the same white setup background. I skipped through these and was taken to the "You are now ready to use your iPhone" screen. All of my stuff prior to the update seems to be there, but I am a little concerned as to why it took me through some setup screens again when it was just an update. Yes, my phone is working fine otherwise, but when things like this happen (especially on a new phone) it bothers me.

***A little background info: When I first got my iPhone, I restored it from my 4S via iCloud. However I was having a problem with Siri and decided to erase the data/settings and set up the phone again. Similarly to the initial setup, I restored from iCloud, and after the restoration was complete, I reached a white screen with an Apple logo and was stuck there (had to do a hard reset to get it to work). Siri worked fine this time but with the problem I encountered, I decided to just erase the phone and set it up as new via iTunes. If I am correct doing this extracts the software and installs a fresh copy, which is what I was aiming for. Could this history of erasing/setting up again be part of the problem?

Also, I've encountered a few other bugs when using the phone. These are very minor but again, as this is a new phone so I am somewhat OCD about them.

-When switching to the Messages app from another app through multitasking, if I am on a conversation screen, sometimes the keyboard will white out and disappear, and will only reappear when I begin type something.

-When pressing the home button while in an app, sometimes the app buttons will all zoom at me and fall into place(similarly to when you unlock your phone with Reduce Motion off), instead of just zooming out of the app.

-Sometimes when switching to the Messages app or swiping left from a Messages conversation, the screen will show my texts and the message search bar above them will be whited out. There will be a white space where the search bar is supposed to show.

-I assume this is exclusive to the 6s/6s Plus and will be fixed, but when turning the phone on and unlocking it through the home button, the Carrier name/time/battery bar will show up after a slight delay. I am guessing that this happens because Touch ID is so fast now, because it does not happen when I turn on the phone from the side bar and then unlock it from the home button.
