Chosen Solution
Hi all! Recently I’ve been having trouble with an iPhone 6. It has run fairly well for over a year now. In the past few days, there have been intermitttent problems where the screen will freeze up - nothing will move, and it won’t respond to the home button - and then mover really quickly, executing all of the inputs given from the screen/home button while it was frozen (power button tends to still work but I haven’t not extensive experimentation with it). Problem was slightly worse temporatily after a hard reset, but, again, resolved itself. What causes this? Is there any way I can fix this without having to open the phone and replace parts? I tend not to like working on very small and delicate componants like those in the iPhone - I’ve not always been known to be the most careful… Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Have you had your screen replaced in the past and upgraded to iOS 11 through all of this? It has been causing problems with Touch on the 6S / 7 series with aftermarket screens. Otherwise, you could try a full DFU restore to start from a factory fresh condition, just make sure to backup your data first. The only problem is that it will want to install iOS 11 by default and I would hold off on that for now. Check my profile for a link to a blog post I did on iOS 11 and there are instructions on how to install 10.3.3 instead.
