Owners of 128 GB iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Models Reporting Crashing and Boot Loop Issues

I predict another "-gate" mass hysteria article, followed by people coming out of the woodwork saying that this has happened to them. Then, a class action lawsuit against Apple, when in reality it will probably only affect a very small percentage of users with iPhone 6 Plus 128GB models.
Here's an idea - if it seems to affect only those that have large app libraries, why not restore as a new phone? Use it a little more each day, and see if the issue persists. Then, you might be able to pinpoint it a little better than "OMG! Apple doesn't care about QA anymore!"

Exactly! I can't tell you how many people I've helped with three simple pieces of advice - double tap the home button and pull up the frequent app manager and delete them to clear the apps cache; delete the app that's crashing, reboot, then reinstall it; and three, do a clean install and start over slowly.

But people like mac rumors readers are more power users, the general populace doesn't realize their smart phone needs to managed like a computer.
 
So, so far we have something like, people with...

No issues: 50
Issues: 0

Could this issue be born from an isolated chair-device interface problem? :D

This is quite bad. Apart from being destructive to Apple, I think this shows that Apple is not so serious about its iOS when compared to when Steve Jobs was at the helm of the company.

First off Steve helmed a lot of "disasters" including mobile me, antenna gate.

Second, just how many phones are we talking about. Likely not more than 5% of the whole. And if the cause is tracked to something like users putting 1000 apps on phone, with automatic updates on and allowed to use cell data and no other combo of factors causes this issue , then is it really an Apple quality issue.

Jumping to conclusions and assuming that it's a hardware issue that affects ALL iPhone 6 Pluses is doing nothing to help either.

If you have an issue, report it to Apple or take it into the closest Apple store. Blathering on and on about it on the internet does nothing.

? I don't see where that person said it affects ALL iphone 6 pluses, in fact it could be hardware like the flash memory as they use different manufacturers.

Isn't discussing it on forums like this what forums are for? Unfortunately some blather on about how upset they are when people discuss problems with it items they purchased.

Article says it's likely to be hardware. iOS is software.

If it was hardware it wouldn't care about app library size etc. hardware defects are way more random on such factors.

It's like draining batteries. Sometimes the battery drains quickly cause it's a crap battery. Sometimes it drains cause the user has 50 apps open in the background all with background app refresh on. That's not hardware but basically software
 
If it is found to be a widespread hardware problem, good luck trying to get a recall out of Apple. If they approach this like they approach the early 2011 MacBook Pro graphics problem, for one example, there ain't gonna be a recall - they won't acknowledge the problem and they will just look the other way like nothing is wrong...
 
My 6 on Verizon ...64gb space gray model exhibited the blue screen, followed by a red screen a few hours later. No issues since then but this was stock iOS 8.1 as I had hardly any apps installed. Who the hell puts 700 apps on a phone? Same people that probably are hoarders. :p

Comments like that make all commenters look bad. When Steve Jobs was at the helm, people wouldn't dare make comments like that.

Yea a few software bugs here and there - big deal.

Non issue.

So just because you don't have an issue. Its a non issue.

I have blue screening and red screening with crashing on a 6+ 64GB.

This is not far reaching, its a realy problem
 
I updated to iOS 8.1.1 today on my 128GB iPhone 6+ and the boot times seem snappier...
