"My iPhone 6 freezes on the startup of iOS 9.1 upgrade, even the home and lock buttons stop working. How to fix iOS 9 freeze?"
So what should you do if your iPhone 6s/6/5s/5c/5/4S freezes up or gets stuck during/after iOS 9 update? Here offers you several workable methods to fix the issue above:
Solution 1: Hard reset
Resetting is a cliche because it works. Sometimes bits get stuck and there's nothing like hitting reset to get them going again.
1. Press and hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time.
2. Keep them held down until you see an Apple logo.
3. Let go.
Once your iPhone has rebooted, wait and see. If it finishes updating, you're good. If not, or if it won't reboot, go on to the next step.
Solution 2: Plug into a wall outlet
This sounds silly but it's worked for some people: plug in. It's possible that, during the install process, your iPhone dipped below a critical power level and that's why it's gotten finicky. Find an outlet or USB port, plug in, and wait 10-15 minutes. Then, see if it resumes and try a hard reset to make sure. If it goes back to working, great. If not, keep reading!
