I have a new 6s Plus. I keep having random issues with the phone:


-Sometimes the display becomes unresponsive and freezes.
-The touchID fails until I unlock the phone and relock to try again.
-When I start a phone call from my contacts list, there is no sound on my end.
-The phone has randomly turned off and the home button gets really hot. (known issue, I know)

Anyone else having these types of issues? Should I wait it out or make an appointment with Apple?

Put the phone in DFU mode and do a restore, don't restore from a backup if you did before. If problems persist, go ahead and make a genius bar reservation, or try and exchange within return policy.

Experience once on my previous iPhone 6 Plus after upgrading to iOS 9.0
Never experienced it in the iPhone 6s Plus.

You literally have every known issue reported on this board. All on same phone. Bad luck...or something more....

I set the phone as new to begin with when I purchased. :(

There is a batch of 6S Plus that have every issue you're experiencing! I think you should check with your serial no. what factory your phone came from!

So I did a restore last night and setup from a backup. Seems to have cleared up a lot of my issues. Must have been an issue with the iOS i initially upgraded with.
