anyone else?

Doesn't happen all the time but I don't recall it happening before (just had the iPhone replaced by Apple a few days ago).

I press the home button and there's a serious delay, at least 2 full seconds. It happens here and there but it's not something I noticed before. This was happening on 9.2 and now 9.2.1.

This happens on my iPhone 6s quite frequently...in fact, it's very annoying. The phone has more memory and a "faster" processor, and it lags and delays when unlocking it. If it were just the status bar not showing up right away, I probably wouldn't mind as much..but it's actually the whole OS that's delayed when unlocking..I have to wait 3 seconds until I can finally press an app icon and begin using the phone.

Now, this is definitely a "first world problem"...is it really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things? Of course not...given that some people don't even have a hole to crap in

Anyhow...here are my thoughts...

I had to get my iPhone 6s replaced a few times already (for various hardware issues) and 3 of the 4 I've used have had a Samsung A9 chip. One was a TSMC chip.

Now, I will say this, I did notice my phone was much snappier and I rarely experienced this status bar delay on the TSMC A9 iPhone 6s...however, each Samsung chip phone experienced this issue.

I am not imagining this, nor am I trying to bring up chipgate again for no reason..I'm simply going by what I experienced....all the phones were set up as new and configured the same way...and the 1 TSMC iPhone 6s I used was very snappy and responsive.

I did NOT, however, notice any difference with battery life between the two chips. Just the lag/responsiveness.

Just out of curiosity, do you know what kind of A9 chip is in your phone?

It will go away give some time

Yes. I've noticed this too. Seems to happen for the first few weeks of setting up or restoring a 6S+ and then it just goes away. I've seen this happen on 4 phones now.

Never seen it on a 6S so it must be a Plus thing.
 
seems like i fixed the issue. when i first got the replacement, i restored from iCloud.

i backed up to my mac and did a clean install and restored from the mac. the issue is gone. maybe the iCloud file was corrupt
