Well i did the factory reset and restored from a backup. i was good for a few days and then i got the screen goes black>pinwheel> then to the lock screen. This time i didn't have snap chat open so i dont think thats the problem, I haven't had the unresponsive screen yet but I'm sure its gonna happen again we'll see. Hopefully its an IOS bug and not a hardware problem.

This happens to me as well. I think it's an iOS bug as it happens to my iPad Pro too.

Not sure if this has been asked but once a week my iPhone screen will become unresponsive. Home button won't take it home and power button doesn't do anything. I can still use what ever app I'm in and if i get a notification i can swap over to that app. The only fix is a hard reboot. Any one else experience. Also separate issue, once a day my screen will randomly get a pin wheel and then go to home screen but all apps are still open, think i narrowed it down to snap chat but not sure.

Both of these frequently happen to me! The screen becomes unresponsive but not completely; I can still access the Notification Center when I swipe right but I'm unable to type in my passcode to unlock the phone when I swipe left. If it does this while I'm in an app, I'm stuck using it and it won't let me exit. The external buttons (e.g. home, volume) usually don't work when this happens so a reset is impossible. When the phone finally starts working it flickers in and out (finally catching up & processing all of the commands that I tried to perform while it was unresponsive).

Also, regardless of what app I'm in, the phone occasionally blacks out (I get the pin wheel) & when it returns it brings me to the lock screen. After unlocking it, whatever app I was in is closed. I also suspect it may have something to do with the backup from my iPhone 6 but not sure
