Some iPhone 6s Owners Seeing Their Phones Randomly Shut Off

Disgrace that a product of this price range does not have better software. Step it up already.

It's times like this that make me wonder how Apple can get away with preventing us from reverting to earlier versions of iOS.

When I bought my iPhone 5s, it shipped with iOS 7. I updated my phone to iOS 9, which I feel has made the phone slower. What purpose does it serve for Apple to prevent me from reinstalling iOS 7 so the phone is just the same as how it was when I bought it?

Apple doesn't do this with OSX on Macs. I can reinstall OSX Lion on my MacBook Air 2011 any time I feel like it. Why is iOS treated differently?

Three reasons in my opinion:

1. Security updates
2. Users not able to go back to a previous version of iOS leaves Apple in charge of product obsolescence. They can turn up the dial on users upgrading hardware by releasing an OS version that makes older hardware slower. So, they need not have to worry about slow quarters in the future.
3. Conformity. Apple prides in showing statistics around the conformity of its user base to the latest OS release. This helps the developer-base manage their workload.

In the real world people have a lot of problems with their hardware/software.
A lot of the time, when you actually do get to learn of the problem the responses are often as follows, (this list is a snippet and is most certainly not exhaustive);
Oh yeah, mine did that. I just assumed it was normal.
Oh yeah, mine did that. I just assumed they all did it. (Especially this when talking about lag - it doesn’t mean that they are happy with it).
Oh yeah, mine did that. It didn’t bother me.
Oh yeah, mine did that. I didn’t have the time to get it fixed.
Oh yeah, mine did that. I didn’t have the money to get it fixed.
Oh yeah, mine did that. I didn’t have the know how to get it fixed.

These responses most often come from the people described by nando87 in #283.

And you based your statement on what ? Your idea of "people" ?
In the real world people aren't so stupid like many of you are trying to imply, in a sense of superiority that make me laugh.
If people weren't more than satisfied by Apple products in the last years , we wouldn't have seen sales records broken year after year.
People buy iPhones because they are satisfied.
Whiners are a typical population of forums like this.
 
Is there some application that will allow visibility into the processor without doing the scary unsigned developer ware? IS there some GAME or TESTING app that would give us all access to report the internal processor?

Screw driver brah, just open that bad boy up.
 
Now I am officially infec... affected by this issue.
Almost missed an important meeting, because the brand new iPhone 6S just shut off in the night and took my alarm along.

Unbelievable pleasing experience....
 
Someone needs to get this on the news stations and then it will get fixed quickly. Any one have a contact with Good Morning America.
 
I'm experiencing this with my 6S right now. It just turned itself off and the home button is burning hot. Can't restart it at all.
 
I've same problem here for iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 and iPad Air and iPad mini running iOS 9, and iOS 8, and iOS 7, 6...

Men, that's only system crashes. It happens on ALL generation and ALL variation of iDevices and ALL version of iOS, for NO significant reason. Scroll this page to bottom and you'll see lots of 'Similar threads', now look at the date of those post. You can't 'restart' a crash device simply by long pressing power button, you have to FORCE RESET by long pressing power + home button.

Can't recall if it was mentioned above but 9.1B4 may have fixed this. After 36 hours on it, I've not had it happen... More time will tell! (Had five occurances in several days on PB3 and 9.0.2)
 
I don't understand why people keep saying this is about the iPhone 6S. In my opinion it's iOS9 related and affects all iPhones. Personally I've encountered it on a 4S and on someone else's 6 (not S).
 
I'm up to about two days now on 91.B4, and neither the shut down nor hot home button has happened again. Might be too early to tell, but good sign.

TSMC chipset as well

Burning love baby.

I'm starting to feel it's not worth jumping in on day one anymore. Wait, see what issues come up and buy one a month or two later once they're sorted. If it's hardware, Apple will be putting a fix into their production lines asap, if it's software then hopefully your current phone isn't affected.
 
So, for anyone STILL having this problem have you tried upgrading to 9.1b4?



I had this issue several times, on the release 9.01 and on 91.B2, B3 but since upgrading to 91.B4, nothing. Even the situations the seemed to produce it previously, regularly, don't produce either the system freeze or the hot home button.
