Apple iPhone 6 Plus phones are crashing or entering a reboot loop

AppleInsider.com is reporting that “a number of iPhone 6 Plus users have reported an issue in which the phone inexplicably crashes or enters a reboot loop, prompting many to take it in to Apple for service, where it is usually swapped out for a new unit. Some owners are on their fourth replacement 6 Plus.

Multiple owners have reported identical crashing problems on Apple’s Support Communities forum, with one thread now standing at more than 9,000 views and 60 replies.

The exact trigger has yet to be discovered, though 6 Plus owners posting to the thread claim to have nailed down a few commonalities: 128GB iPhone 6 Plus is the most affected model; apps installed number at more than 700; and crashes can occur without user interaction. Some pin the trouble on hardware as Apple’s recent iOS 8.1 update did not fix the issue, though others believe software is to blame.”

Well I’m going to take this one with a pinch of salt. Millions and millions of phones sold. 60 responses on a thread. Next how many of you have 700 apps installed on your iPhone. And surely if you do, how many are iOS 8 compatible or updated for iOS 8 and specifically the 6 Plus. I have been adding older games over the last few days. Some work. Other look odd or have glitches. One or two took the phone into an immediate reboot. My app library is circa 2,000 apps but there is no way I would install more than 200 on my iPhone 6 Plus or have the need to. So 700 is so extreme and maybe using a bit of logic, 1gb of ram just isn’t enough to organise the file system.

So question is is there anyone reading this with 500 plus apps installed with a problem relating to their 6 Plus?

  1. Although I have opted for the 128GB model I most certainly do not intend to put anything like that amount of Apps to use on my Plus when it eventually arrives.
    Okay, I’m no games player which obviously helps so my App list would most probably not suffer more than 100 titles in all, but even then that paltry 1GB RAM is still going to hit the file swap area.
    As for 700, shush…… That’s going to knock over any thumbnail or core build list.

  2. I experience crashing, the rebooting loop and red screen problems after downloaded the 8.1 iOS about 30 hours later. I only have about 50 apps on my iphone 6 plus.
