Today my brand new phone became a brick for a couple of hours.... The home button became seriously hot. Took it to Apple Store, by then it had cooled (2 hours later) they rebooted it, couldn't find any thing wrong with it... Guess I'll just have to wait and see!
Got a tip for us?

Mine (Verizon 6s+ 64GB) is in an infinite reboot... tried restoring through iTunes with no luck.... I'm without a phone... and an alarm clock until I can get to an Apple store.... Lame.
No it did not. First swipe to unlock would not work and leave the time half way off the screen, then reboot loops. Same thing after 2 restores.
I had a nightmare with my 6S+ yesterday. I needed to use Google maps whilst out and for some reason the mobile data toggle kept switching off as soon as I had switched it on. So I did a reset all settings and the phone got stuck in a bootloop at the Apple logo. A hard reset didn't cure it either and it again became stuck at the Apple logo.
I took it home and tried to restore through iTunes but it wouldn't respond. I then put it into DFU mode and the restore quit halfway through with an error code three attempts on the trot. I was getting seriously worried at this point and thought there was a hardware fault but luckily the restore was a success at the fourth attempt.
I've since found out that the data toggle issue is widespread but the bootloop when trying to reset all settings is worrying, as are the numerous attempts to restore.

The same thing happened to me today. I was in a meeting. When it was done I went to check my messages and my phone turned off on it own. The home button was burning hot! I knew it was fully charged before the meeting. It was hot for about 30 minutes. Then I held the home and power buttons and booted it up. I had to use a napkin to not burn my finger. As soon as it booted up it cooled off. It was so bizarre! Hope it doesn't happen again.
Same thing happened to mine overnight. My alarm never went off this morning, when I went to grab my phone it would not turn on. I did not notice any heat, but it did require a force restart to get the phone working again. It also did this to me the night before while listening to music connected to the Bluetooth in my car.
This is preposterous!
I'm sure you've lost credibility with some people here because everyone knows that the iPhone 6S Plus has absolutely no lag or any other issues due to 2GB RAM and the speedy A9 processor!

Tried turing on my phone this morning, after 4 DFU restores last night, it turned on! Started setting everything up as a new phone... and before I got into iOS boot loop again.... ugh
So far phone is working fine today.
Tech at store told me to turn off most of locations & clean off opened apps.
Also that phone being so new there was no data on issue... He wrote a detailed problem note in his files, so hopefully if enough people complain, they can fix it.

It turned on around 2pm today! Didn't restore backup, just started as a new phone. Was setting up all the settings... got to photos turned off My Photo Stream... and it crashed... won't boot up... just apple logo.
have had it turn off twice now for no reason full battery. Once was over night, good thing I don't need an alarm, and one was randomly during the day. Both required hard reset to start back up (home and power button at same time for 10 sec). This is bad I really hope 9.1 fixes it and it isn't hardware related.
btw 128 gb 6S

Shouldn't the OS create a crash log? How is Apple not able to see this under diagnostics? This isn't accusatory (of Apple
Or the OP), but a serious question. I thought we've moved beyond having to prove a a bug is existent (in person) in order to get a replacement?

Since only a few are experiencing it, I'd say it's probably hardware related. Why else would the home button turn into a hot coal? It's hardware related. Mine doesn't.
All you guys who are having problems should look up which factory your phone was made in and compare results.
Then perhaps your problem could be software. Is your phone working now?
These other people's phones don't work at all.

anyways, works awesome when it isn't shut off and I love the upgrade. Hope it doesn't happen again then I may bring it up to the apple store.
yep just randomly shuts off. I don't know how twitter really works but I saw an article about people tweeting both scenarios today. Only saw it because it happened the second time yesterday and I just remembered to see if there was an issue known or not.
