You know you're on an iPhone when...

To the op, you are one unlucky iPhone customer. We've had iPhones since the launch of the iPhone 4 and a few blips here and there but basically a positive ownership experience.

As an app developer, I understand that apps crash, but I can honestly say that I've never had my phone crash. Apps yes, the phone? Never. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never personally experienced that.

Not that I don't believe you, but it is a little hard to believe. My prior phone crashed multiple times. We're talking reboots to the apple screen.

Now I'd still rather use an iPhone than any other Android phone. But crashing has not gone away on iOS.

Your apps and phone crash all the dang time.

I've used an iPhone off and on since the iPhone 4 was released on Verizon. I've always loved the build quality. Now, I know this forum is filled with Apple fanboys and I'm expecting to get flamed, and I'm OK with that. I have many Apple products, and will continue to buy them. But after using Note 4 for nearly the last year, switching back to the 6S Plus(64gb) I'm frustrated to see the same issues I have seen on single iPhone I've owned. Apps randomly close while you're using them and you're returned to the home screen. Phone quick reboots or whatever during use and you get the Apple on black screen briefly then you're dumped back to the home screen. I set this phone up as a new phone, no data restored. I was just trying to listen to beats one and the app crashed, then the phone. Yesterday I was checking email and mail crashed and I was returned to my home screen. I have fewer issues on this iPhone than previous ones but it's still disappointing to see the same old issues. I'm sure people will try to say I have a hardware problem, it's user error, or whatever but considering I've had the same problems on every iPhone since the 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 6, and now 6S, that's doubtful. The 3D Touch is neat, though.

Just a rant. I feel slightly better now.

Wow,6 bad iPhone in a row-must be some type of record.
 
The only constant is you. Your setup and default app selection. Did you load all the same apps on all of these phones before experiencing this?

Start clean and go from there.

Not saying your lying, but the likely hood of it being hardware/software over this many years is just unlikely. Remove "you" from the equation as much as possible and try and reproduce the issues. I think you'll find the issue is somewhere within downloaded apps, setup, configuration, sync, ect.

Please tell me where I said I prefer one over the other. I said I should have gotten that phone, not that I preferred it. In this thread I've had people pretty much say I'm lying and that they don't buy it, etc. I have said repeatedly that I have had iPhones replaced before. I set them up as new. If doing so would have fixed the problem, it would have before. I didn't start the thread because I wanted help. I don't think the issue will be solved, since it's been a common issue with all of my iPhones. I merely find it comical at this point, no more, no less.

I don't have any of the issues you describe, nor have I ever, and I've had an iPhone since the original in 2007. I've had small blips and issues here and there, but never anything long term or unfixable. I'm hardly a "fangirl" (whatever that means), I'm just someone who loves Apple products and has had a very positive experience with them. I recommend Apple products just as I recommend restaurants I've had good experiences at, or stores that provide great service.

Same here. Intermittent issues, but nothing like the OP.

In the past with other iphones, I've had the same problems, set replacements up as new, used them with no apps, etc. Good grief. I'm within my exchange period, I can say I used the 6S; maybe I should get the Note 5 like I had originally planned. I guess I'm using my iPhone wrong lol!

Please go to NOTE 5.

I use both pretty equally (maybe slightly more theniohone because it's my personal phone and have a moto x for my work phone). With the exception of the 6 plus (where I constantly even had failed page loads in safari FFS) I can't agree with the op.

I don't think I've had a single app crash on my 6s plus to be quite honest.

As an avid user of both platforms, here is my take:

Your experience with the iPhone is abnormal, I suggest you take it into an Apple store and see if you can get an exchange. I believe springboard resets (apple logo then back to home screen) does capture a error file so they can see where it's happened on your device. This is one thing that Apple does exceptionally well, typically they will just swap out your phone for a new one.

In my experience, both Android and iOS environments are very stable these days and users should expect very infrequent issues with apps, unless they do something silly like sideload a really questionable app.

Please do. And don't complain when it's laggy and takes forever to get the latest version of Android due to TouchGarbage.

lol! My Note 4 was never laggy, my buddy has the Note 5 and my girlfriend has the S6. They aren't laggy.

The butt hurt is palpable in this thread. I didn't come in here bashing the iPhone. I like my 6S, regardless of the fact that it's crashed more in a week than any of my Androids did in a year. But heaven forbid I say anything remotely bad about the iPhone - even if it's true for MY personal experience. If yours hasn't crashed, I do believe you, and I'm happy for you! It's a nice phone.

You're experience is atypical even rare to go through one bad phone after another. I would do a dfu restore without loading apps as has already been suggested and use yet he phone as is for a while . If you don't want to do that you probably will be stuck with a phone that crashes as the cause of the issue will be hard to pinpoint. Not sure why you even stayed with iOS.

Because I like the iPhone, and was curious about 3D Touch, so I swapped back. I'm not a fanboy for either side at this point. I used to be die hard apple, but the grass is just as green on the other side at this point. Each OS does certain things better than the other.

Hmmm. So why did you start this thread? Also, why did you pick a title like "You know you're on an iPhone..." which is essentially a massive generalization?

It's difficult to believe this thread is anything but flame bait. Everyone has different experiences, but the way you started this thread seems to be for a very specific purpose in mind....

Because when my phone crashed the other day (2 days after getting it, I think), with about 5 apps loaded on it and did a springboard reset I was like oh yea, I remember that! Yesterday I was reading an email and the phone crashed. Then today I was going to grab a beer and burger and was listening to the new Apple Music beats one station and the song stopped. Looked down at my phone and the app had died. Then I got to thinking, every iPhone I've owned has been about the same. I expected to get flamed. I am actually rather amused by some responses. It's alright though. I am the only person on the planet with any iPhone issues at all. I DEFINITELY shouldn't have said anything about it. lol
 
I've owned every iPhone since the iPhone 3G. I've had no issues whatsoever well, a few glitches there and then. But nothing so bad. The iPhone 6s Plus has been a breeze. I am in love with it and continue to practice every Apple product on the market. Oh, and by the way I am using Siri dictation.

Good! Siri is actually useful now - greatly improved, I think.

I haven't had any issues with the 3 apple TV's I own, my MacBook Pro, or my iPad Air 2, either. Something must be wrong wth me. I'm holding my iPhone wrong when I am reading emails or listening to music I suppose.

Fair enough. But you're not the only person with iPhone issues. If you've seen the thread about iPhones automatically shutting down, I'm actually surprised there are so many reports of it...

What I think is unusual is that you're experiencing so many crashes, especially with a new iPhone.

Sounds like you are getting closer to finding the common denominator on all of those phones with problems.
